Wait, you mean one of the impacts of the emergence of crypto is strengthening the North Korean government? One would think policy wonks would care... unless they are owned by crypto themselves.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

RFK Jr's wife Cheryl Hines does ads for Il Makiage cosmetics, which often appear in my social media feeds. Until yesterday, the ad's comments toward Hines - and hack hubby - were hilariously scathing. Today, nothing but love. Maybe there's a DOGE techonobaby in charge of cleaning cosmetics comments.

What’s scary is that it seems like they want to push us all to the brink of civil disobedience and civil unrest, so Trump can invoke the Inspection Act and declare Martial Law. Trump was itching to do it during BLM protests in 2020, but luckily had a few sane people around him—now, not so much

Republican administrations are not good for business. They’re good for management. CEO pay, executive pay, golden parachutes when you run the company into the ground. They’re not about the actual business at all. The actual business does better under Democrats, when consumers have money.

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.
