You know who’s demonstrated truly remarkable and admirable “masculine energy” over the last three years? The men and women of Ukraine, fighting for their country under brutal assault. Whom Zuckerberg’s faux-manly buddies Trump and Musk are eager to sell out. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hargraves: Nobody with the last name Trump has ever served in uniform in 150 years. Families like the Trumps don’t sacrifice their own lives or the lives of their children. They convince poor people to sacrifice their lives on their behalf.

"It came as no surprise that Trump gave Harris no credit for honoring his victory in a way he refused to honor Biden’s....Surely Trump can imagine something else Biden could have done to make the transition more difficult."

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh: I’ve committed that Canada would respond with retaliatory tariffs if Trump imposes tariffs on Canada. My challenge is for anyone else running to become Prime Minister: I want you to commit to the same. Let Trump know that anyone who gets that position will respond in kind

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

Toxic floods of lies on social media platforms like Facebook have destroyed trust not fact checkers. Let me reiterate: Mark Zuckerberg has never cared about that and never will.

"On Jan. 7, 2021, it was widely acknowledged among American conservatives that Donald Trump’s behavior on Jan. 6th was completely unacceptable...The conservative movement has retconned not just the events of four years ago, but their own reactions to those events." www.slowboring.com/p/four-years...

Gotta wonder if the exploding Cybertruck driver had been a brown-skinned Muslim instead of a white Christian, how quickly would the media have skipped making excuses for what he did and just called him a "radicalized terrorist"?

An IRS once again cut to the bone won’t have the resources to chase after the billions in taxes owed by the nation’s economic elite. That is the point, and everyone should care.

The odds of a millionaire getting audited by an IRS revenue agent in fiscal year 2022 were 1.1 percent. Lower income taxpayers were much more likely to be audited. Not very populist, is it? @jilldlawrence.bsky.social on funding the IRS:

Trump has nominated an FBI director, Kash Patel, whose chief qualification for the job is that he’s pledged—repeatedly, publicly, enthusiastically—to prosecute Trump’s political enemies. If you were holding off, you can be alarmed now.
