Steve Bannon last night with a Nazi salute followed by the smug nod which says, ‘Yeah, we can do this in the open now.’

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Joining @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social at the top of the hour.

NY law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is enthusiastically joining Donald Trump's effort to undermine the justice system. It’s sad to see a firm clients have long turned to for counsel on how to comply with the law rendering itself into an instrument for promoting lawlessness, I diacuss in PN.

UK press this morning..... Glory to Ukraine 💙💛

Marc is one of the good guys. Read his letter. Please.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

As Trump lies about Ukraine starting a war, it would be a very good time for the Republicans in Congress who know better to speak up. (Looking at you Roger, Lindsay, Tom, Joni, Deb, Mike, Dan).

I’m so old I remember when Republicans in MO were fighting the REAL ID program cause they didnt want the feds to get their info. Now? Sure King Elon, take all our personal data from IRS and Social Security.

Good follow.

Math is hard

Federal prosecutor resigns after being directed to SEIZE PROPERTY held in an American bank without evidence.DOJ responded “refusing a basic request to pause an investigation so officials can examine the potential waste of government funds is not an act of heroism” (1/2)

This chart from the BLS's press release tells the not-so-great story of where we are on inflation.

He’s been busy with renaming stuff and threatening our neighbors, meanwhile inflation up. So much for price of eggs, ground beef, and milk.

Congratulations to the Birds! Philly played a great game and dominated line play. They are deserving champions. We will be back! (And hope Trump picks the other team to win next time)

Did JD Vance actually go to law school? Obviously not.

40 acres and a mule mentioned at the Super Bowl halftime with Trump there is 💯

Loyalty tests are a classic feature of the autocratic playbook www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

That and a complete dominance of the Eagles’ defensive line.

That appears to be a big problem. Bad mojo.

Watching game in bar in Melbourne Australia, where it is 9:45 am on Monday morning. We brought our flag! Go Chiefs!

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Can we revisit Musk and his views on family values? Monogamy? Honesty? Charity? Drug use? I’m curious what his values are and how in the world did he end up as unelected leader of the Republican Party that used to spout “family values” constantly?

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid. Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail. This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

“What about her emails” seems so quaint in the company of nameless faceless random civilians taking over the coding of the US govt computer systems just cause”he said we could”.

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Does anybody really think it is a good idea to pick a fight with your neighbors? How about insulting all of the countries that have been your friends for decades? Is making the world hate us a sound strategy for success in today’s world?….NO.

WIRED has been downright exceptional in covering this carnage.

Threats aside, Vance is also just full of shit. The U.S. seized 19kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year, or 0.19 percent of the total fentanyl seized. Meanwhile, in 2023, Canada seized 27,000 prohibited weapons at the border. The U.S. seized 459 weapons coming from Canada.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

If you voted for Trump, take a minute to read up on Smoot Hawley.

Fuck this guy. Ask any nurse or LPN or ER doc or admin clerk or social worker if they work weekends. This disrespect to our federal workforce is disgusting. Especially from this piece of shit.

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Leaders don’t make reckless charges. They are supposed to lead,not blame.
