Other than its BK vs Micky D, spot on.

FAFO

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

On Face the Nation just now: Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) argues there’s a rapid rise of oligarchy and kleptocracy underway in the US

Be clear about this. Only a tiny percentage of fentanyl comes from Canada. “ less than 1% of all fentanyl seizures occurred at the U.S.-Canada border.“ www.forbes.com/sites/andyjs...

Trump Makes FATAL DECISION as world UNITED AGAINST HIM. youtu.be/21M0iAzci70?...

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

Federal public corruption cases will be a thing of the past, unless of course Trump hates you. Time for the Mayor Adams case to revert to a state case: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

And another corruption case to be closed by Trump’s DOJ: www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

My latest on why we can’t trust Kash Patel: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

And another one: www.newsweek.com/woman-given-...

Newly pardoned January 6 terrorist David Daniel was arrested last year on child sex crime charges and is facing prison time. That’s 5 dangerous criminals down so far. Let’s keep it going.

RIP: Figure-Skating Sisters Everly, 11, and Alydia Livingston, 14, Killed in Potomac River Plane Crash So sad.

Oh look

@schiff.senate.gov 🔥🔥🔥KashPatel lied to you today. In DC two people who can deploy the National Guard since the 1800s. POTUS and the secretary of defense. Patel was the chief of staff Chris Miller and DENIED the National Guard 14 times. I was there. MY VIDEO www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr3P...

"Everything I say leaks," Zuckerberg says in leaked meeting audio. "It sucks" www.404media.co/zuckerberg-s...

🔥 Heating up. Schiff: I want you to look at Capitol police & tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues Patek: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement. Schiff: You didn't accept it, you glorified it! 🎯

He can’t

NEW: Over 300 civil rights groups sent a letter to U.S. senators urging them to vote against Pam Bondi’s confirmation to attorney general, citing her extensive record of opposing civil rights and anti-voting activities.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Jim Acosta, we are with you.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

Trump FROZE all hiring for FAA Flight Tower Controls, making our airports less safe. THIS is what happens when you put PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. No head of FAA either because Musk said it was too expensive. This isn't Twitter, this is our lives! Trump should be charged with 64 counts of manslaughter.

BREAKING: Senator Dick Durbin just destroyed Kash Patel for his comments calling Police officers at the Capitol on January 6th “Cowards in Uniform”. Kash Patel belongs nowhere near the FBI.

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

BREAKING: Jim Acosta has just issued the following powerful words in his farewell address to CNN viewers: “Don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into the fear. Hold onto the truth and to hope”

1/ Virtually all of this activity is happening before there are Senate confirmed leaders in place in executive branch agencies, including at DOJ, HHS, and other places where major transformation is underway. That's unusual. New cabinet secretaries like to take a look at and understand...

OK, so this picture isn’t edited at all. It is literally a picture straight from my iPhone. No idea what was going on the other night with the sky and lighting, but sure made for one wild picture, right?

BREAKING: A coalition of nonprofits, public health leaders and small businesses sue over the Trump administration's decision to halt all agency grants and loans, arguing that the pause violates the Constitution and federal law.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Three authoritarian peas in a pod.

Caroline Kennedy calls her cousin, RFK Jr, a "predator" in a letter to senators. "It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.
