Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.

PUT THIS ON BLAST: Trump’s tariffs just pushed the risk of a U.S. and global recession this year up to 60%—up from 40%, according to J.P. Morgan. THATS NOT ALL: The White House made up the numbers—Trump Math 🤡

Some breaking news in my latest. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added.(1/2)

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

is that bad? Seems bad

Concerning …

Former Wash Post top editor Cameron Barr severs ties to the company He writes that Bezos’ revamp marks an “unacceptable erosion of its commitment to publishing a healthy diversity of opinion and opinion” www.linkedin.com/posts/camero...

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

🤔

Fitting

If you are out protesting or sharing protest information / guides, remember to use hashtags when you post so you can reach a wider audience. Choose between primary and temporary or event specific tags. Primary tags: #3E #USprotests Temporary or event specific: #r/50501 #feb5

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

BREAKING: if you don’t like what DOGE is doing at Treasury— neither do we So we just sued to stop it! www.citizen.org/wp-content/u... I’ll be on @thereidout tonight at 7:40 PM ET to break down that and much more

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

This.

I just spit out my tea.

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?

But some people are just too old and frail to handle cold weather.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Some more wintry winterness. A horse farm in the long sleep til spring.

I am hopeful that the 2024 election was the last straw for trusting the legacy media to serve as a check on political rot and authoritarianism. Good luck to Jen Rubin and Norm Eisen as they launch The Contrarian. contrarian.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Honestly, the Dems questions today for Hegseth seemed weak, and they let him get away with too much. They need to do better

I called my congressman‘s office two weeks ago to ask how many bills my representative has passed in his 24 years in DC. From my research it looks like six bills and four of them were to rename post offices. He passes a bill every four years. He’s been compensated over $4M in that time.

Friends, I understand the urge to unplug from the media, but I never would have known my Rep was funded by “school choice” millionaires if my local newspaper wouldn’t have reported it. We need folks on the ground covering school board meetings and city council meetings and commissioner reports.

"Rarely in my nearly 40-year career as a journalist have I felt the target on my back as continuously and intensely as I have in the last 15 months."

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

If only there had been signs Elon was a nazi.

So the person holding up the pediatric cancer research funding for months was Rand Paul. I’m shocked.

Ro Khanna on MSNBC expresses hope that Donald Trump will fight for socialized medicine like Canada has

Moskowitz goes off on Foreign Aff Comm staffer who falsely posted on X that Dems skipped the hearing: “This committee is making it appear that we don’t care about what happened in Afghan. While our enemies abroad are trying to divide us on social media, we’re giving them a gift.”

Day 14 of nationwide non-stop protests in Georgia. Thousands of public sector employees, risking their jobs, organized a massive march in defense of the constitution, declaring their loyalty to the nation, not a political party that serves Russia and oligarchs. #georgiaprotests

“Trump appears determined to test if he can squander the goodwill he has, and when he does, it will only serve to reinforce what many already know: his leadership is a clear and present danger to the principles that hold this nation together.” My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-honeym...

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Spent a little time on Twitter this afternoon. It's become even less usable, if you can imagine.

It has been 1,164 days since the Taliban barred Afghan girls from attending school, robbing 1.4 million girls of their right to education. This is not only a tragedy but a global failure. #LetHerLearn

DOGE = Dept Of Getting Every dollar out of the federal government for the richest man in the world while slashing programs and funding for everyone else.
