Maddrey will be replaced (temporarily) by NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell, who shot and killed a man and was found to have lied about it but faced no repercussions. He now spends his days drunk rage posting online and doing far-right media appearances.

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came after the attack. It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.

Elon got exactly what he wanted from the government funding fight: shielding his Chinese investments from scrutiny. Trump got nothing of what he wanted: getting the debt limit dealt with before his inauguration. Winners & losers among the co-presidents, from Bob Kuttner:

Noah Smith isn’t worth anybody’s time. Just another dude who built a platform on flattering the powerful and whining about “the Left.” Boring. BUT: This notion that the tech industry potentially is or used to be a “progressive ally” is very widespread - and based on a fundamental misunderstanding.
