This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

I’m seeing a number of right-leaning posts that call Europe “Europa”. Is this a thing now?

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Shadow Surgeon General @vinguptamd.bsky.social giving you the advice you need

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

They can dish it out but can’t take it. Imagine the fit on the right if Boebert and MTG were removed from the SOTU for heckling.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

This is a national emergency:

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

Sen. Kevin Cramer touts $16 billion in cuts to the transportation budget 12 hours after the deadliest plane crash in America in 24 years

Let Denmark cook.

Did you know? Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

I thought the first orders of business were lowering the prices of eggs and gas, and “fixing the border” (via mass deportation). Now job no. 1 is growing the American empire? How Putinesque. Or just a distraction because clearly he can’t accomplish what he promised?

Watching the coverage of Notre Dame de Paris reopening. Why so much air time on Trump and Musk?!?!

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV propagandists and government officials expressed their delight with Trump's selections: "All of them are totally wonderful!" youtu.be/OT2JTOEuZRs
