Eventually the Adams case will trickle down to someone who will just follow orders and dismiss it. Make that person historically infamous. (Recall it was Robert Bork who eventually followed Nixon’s order to fire Archibald Cox)

“Jacobs bought her home for $7,000 in 1947, rehabilitated it, and sold it 24 years later for $45,000. …Five years after that interview, it sold again, for $3.3 million; today, the city assesses it at $6.6 million.”

After Kristen Welker let National Security Adviser Michael Waltz lie and evade on NBC's "Meet the Press," she wound up her interview by asking him for his Super Bowl pick. That's how you normalize fascists and tell them you're friendly enough that they can come back later and lie some more.

I do wonder how much this remarkable moment and picture in 2019, which went viral, is a reason for his nutty threats against Canada now.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social “"Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals." The media, especially TV networks like CNN, MSNBC and the 3 blind mice, are the willing transmitters of the show.

The TikTok ban debate is a distraction from bigger issue that Congress has neglected for years, Nicole Wong, tells @kara. As Obama's former deputy CTO, former VP and general counsel at Google, and Twitter's former legal director of product, she’s one of the internet's original content moderators.

Republicans say they fear violence vs. themselves and family. Yet Democrats and journalists must face the same threats presumably but it doesn’t change their behavior. Funny that.

This isn’t just a moronic lie. It’s more than an insult against an ally. Trump is using disinformation to justify applying unwarranted & hugely mutually damaging tariffs as a tactic to try to force an ally into giving up its sovereignty. It’s a hostile takeover attempt. Or overt economic warfare.

The story the media tried to ignore on Inauguration Day is that Trump's rapid mental decline was on full display -- from rambling, slurred digressions about wall building materials to paranoid conspiracy and revenge fantasies And there's 4 years to go.

Trudeau did Canadians a favour by delaying his resignation and not allowing for an early election. It gave the Conservatives some extra rope to define themselves and for the U.S. to provide a key election issue, do we want a properly run state or the United States. (h/t Graham Spry)

Carney’s decision to appear on The Daily Show was a brilliant strategy. While the program had a modest audience in Canada of less than 100k on Slice, it has generated untold numbers of viewers/readers on other Canadian media in the last 24 hours.

Furious? I think we should have gone beyond furious a long time ago. Shouldn't they be held to account? Legally liable for their conscious lies and the damage they caused? Answer: Yes. Long long ago.
