Op-Ed: Travis Kelce decided to reinforce the status quo by saying it will be an “honor” to have Donald Trump watch him play in the Super Bowl. But now is not the time to show respect to the office of the President of the United States as he does not seem to respect many of the citizens he governs. ⤵️

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

I know a lot of you are asking us or talking about the 12 IGs (Inspector Generals) being fired. They aren't stepping down until it's done correctly. This is how you #Resist

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?

Since they vilify government all day every day, here’s a reminder of “50 ways government works for us”👇🏽🇺🇸 Government is not the enemy. It’s not about “Big Government”, it’s about good government. Elect people who believe in it, not the ones who seek to destroy it.

HAGERTY: “Thank God for Elon Musk or we wouldn’t have known what was in the bill.” BASH: “You’re a senator. That can’t be true.” HAGERTY: “…I’m not saying it was only Elon Musk.”🤔 @SenatorHagerty, loyal henchman for the oligarchy, reporting for duty.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots."

Krugman is retiring from the New York Times. www.status.news/p/paul-krugm... If you read him, and the Times more broadly, including its political coverage, then today's news does not surprise. An obituary not of him, but of his reality-based Times column would be a challenging thing to write.

A failed president who incited a coup attempt and then was found liable of sexual assault and then was convicted of felonies won the popular vote and electoral college. I still haven’t seen a satisfactory explanation. Probably never will.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of them are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.
