Sesame Street isn’t supposed to turn a profit. The Post Office isn’t a business. Police and firefighters aren’t there to make money. Not everything has to be a cash grab.

Mexico and Canada just gave a masterclass in handling Trump: let him brag, give him a face-saving win, and walk away having conceded nothing. The Big Picture unpacks how this strategy could keep him in check on the world stage.

O.M.G!!!! Can't believe what King Donald is saying right now! The investigation into the helicopter/plane crash has just started. How can he blame diversity for causing it. Going to turn off my TV before I damage it.

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

Last night, Trump ordered a halt to all federal grant funding—taking money out of the pockets of families for essential food, housing, and disaster recovery assistance. Why? Because Trump's loyalty to his billionaire base must always come at the expense of the American people.

Since the Supreme Court gave Trump broad immunity, what can be done to stop his executive orders that break laws passed by Congress? Is our country just screwed?

The myth of Trump is that everything is a deal, writes @timothypmurphy.bsky.social. But that implies mutual consent. The truth is that with Trump, nothing is a deal. It's a hostage negotiation. Just consider his handling of one of the government’s core duties—relief after natural disasters.
