This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

Hyannis, Mass., on Cape Cod. Easily 2,000 people.

The Residence is such a great kick-off to a possible franchise. Cordelia Cupp is such an engaging character.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

This is a fascinating documentary. As someone who’s only recently become obsessed with cruise ships, I was blown away at what could be built in 18 months. youtu.be/dBAkvWr1-Ds?...

My current take on the Trump/Elon relationship: Trump’s always wanted an indepently successful son and Elon has always wanted a dad who appreciated his accomplishments. Match made in therapy. @karaswisher.bsky.social, does this make sense to you?

Rep. Larson is amazing. @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com him on either of your podcasts. youtu.be/HBW0ZyiNER4?...

Five years ago, this was when everything went to sh!t. How well did that job-holder handle crisis? He was pretty pro-vaccine development, then. It was possibly the only positive boost he gave to the country, before he started suggesting we inject bleach in our arms. How are we in this spot, again?

And y’all thought those dystopian science fiction movies were science fiction.

Seriously, they are actively trying to destroy the United States. They are actively taking down every area where we have expertise and global leadership. How would a next Dem president even begin to put this all back together, again?

I grew up a child of the Cold War. My father was insistent I not attend an East Coast university because of the “commie influence.” I simply don’t know what to make of today’s Oval Office meeting with Ukraine’s Zelensky.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

@karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com, have you seen the Netflix doc Buy Now? Such an indictment against tech, in general, but with a special callout to Apple and their much-followed ear bud design, that simply creates waste forever.

I’m only 15 minutes in, but Netflix’s Buy Now doc is fascinating and horrifying. The algorithms could be our downfall.

An important message from this week’s John Oliver: This isn’t the time to go saying I told you so. We need to all work together.

I’ve got to give it up to Max for letting John Oliver continue to be John Oliver, in these days. Sunday’s episode is terrific, and touches on so much people need to hear. Also kudos to Max, it’s always available 24 hours later for free on YouTube.

First they came for the trans folx who were the first to fight back. apnews.com/article/ston...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Time to rethink how you plan your next vacation. www.reuters.com/world/us/air...

Sen. Maggie Hassan on today’s Jen Psaki was great. These voices who personalize consequences need to be heard.

Today’s Dem Party tell: There’s a literal constitutional crisis underway at OPM and Treasury, while Dem leaders are tied in knots over who will lead the party next. How about move the meeting to treasury’s steps and protest what’s now happening?

I’m heartened to hear Jen Psaki talking about possible action on her msnbc show this morning. I’ve been in rage mode the last three days, wondering why there hasn’t been a 24-hour press conference on Treasury’s steps. Where are Jeffries and Schumer? Pelosi would’ve been all over this.

Why aren’t congressional Democrats out on the Capitol steps screaming at the top of their lungs about what’s now going on in Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management?

Halfway through the second-to-last episode of Somebody Somewhere, and it’s such an amazing angle-by-angle approach to watching two people fall in … whatever it will be. Every episode of this show is like its own little short story.

I just listened to a fascinating conversation with Ed Zitron on On the Media - really interesting take on AI - would love to hear @karaswisher.bsky.social interview him. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

It’s like the entire nation has become that elderly relative whose bank account is getting drained by a Nigerian scammer. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The MGM+ doc series “I am a Rolling Stone” is actually worth the risk you might forget to cancel the free subscription within 7 days. I’m just into the first episode on Jagger. Fascinating. Their long-term success is heavily based on his biz sense.
