Taking over an institution, asset-stripping it, and selling it for parts. Usually the victim is company, but this time it's our government.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Brutal.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side and is more than willing to see this war end on Russian terms. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

Say it, #MurdochJournal: Putin is in charge. President Trump has shifted the direction of U.S. foreign policy in four short weeks www.wsj.com/world/trump-...

@brma64.bsky.social Trumps actions are not “incomprehensible” if you shift from trying to figure trump out to the simplest explanation. Trump literally works for Putin in the effort to weaken the US and build up Putin.

@msnbc.com For only the second time since Nov we tuned to @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning. We generally replay @alivitali.bsky.social from 5am and then Kimmel/Colbert. @jonlemire.bsky.social and @kattybkay.bsky.social were on adulting. Continue this and we will go back to watching daily.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

“Jeffries said something jaw-dropping about Democratic strategy last week. “There’s a season to govern and a season to campaign. And we are in the governing season.” That is so fundamentally wrong that it is delusional.” thehill.com/opinion/camp...

This is fascism.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Trump's cuts have begun to move voters from the theoretical "they're cutting waste" zone into the practical "they're screwing me over" zone. We need to keep pushing.

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place. That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities. True story☕️

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

America right now.

@velshi.bsky.social The purpose is not just vengeance for past DOJ and FBI investigations, the actual goal is to reduce the effectiveness of these organizations to protect us from enemies external and internal. We should be asking why this is in trumps and musks interest?

Remember how glitchy, unreliable and toxic Twitter became after Elon Musk took over? That’s what he and Trump are doing to our government now. And our country is already seeing the chaos, confusion, division, and incompetence.

Here's your lede: With bodies still being fished out of the Potomac River, Donald Trump went on a partisan, racist and entirely unsubstantiated rant today, blaming diversity hiring and Democrats for Monday’s calamitous collision between a passenger jet and a military aircraft..

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

@timmiller.bsky.social you are thinking about this too hard. My guess someone showed him a list of people with protection and he said “why do we do that”. Been in meetings with execs lake that. Maybe even it came up because he wanted to give protection to someone in hi entourage.

This. 👇

Journalists. Please. Too many of you are going to call this a tax “on Colombia”. It’s a tax on Americans. All Americans who ever drink coffee. Or buy cut flowers. A tax. On Americans.

One thing I have been thinking about lately is how we’re all here because of Ralph Nader

Obama’s inauguration - 28 degrees I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every decision Trump makes will be to serve his own interests, not the good of the country. Assess every action and policy accordingly.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Save this! We’ll be reminding them!

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Forbes: "Joe Biden built and sustained the strongest, healthiest, most resilient job market in American history."

Didn’t you also remain in the U.S. illegally, Elon?

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

We watched @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social last week when hosted by @jonlemire.bsky.social and others and enjoyed it. To be clear, we did not stop watching because of Joe/Mika visiting MAL but because Joe is a bombastic host and the change in his tune between 11/5 and 11/6 showed his moral weakness.
