It’s about having red hair and freckles FFS and how to be cool with that when other kids make fun of it. By that twisted logic, you’d have to ban pretty much every children’s book, old and new www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/e...

This is awful. The Trump administration is making it legal for US firms to bribe foreign governments. (Prohibiting such practices was a benefit to US firms rather than a drag bc they could credibly tell foreign governments they couldn’t bribe, which saved them money!)

here's today's post: "Donald Trump has replaced the Rule of Law with the Rule of Because Fuck You, That’s Why" — because who’s going to stop him? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Why

Trials abandoned due to the stop-work order on USAID-funded research:

Ann Telnaes, Pulitzer-winning cartoonist for the Washington Post since 2008, quit the paper this week after her editor killed this cartoon. I strongly urge you read Tim Snyder's book "On Tyranny"; in particular, the chapter on anticipatory obedience.

Will Matt Gaetz be the first cabinet nominee to plead the fifth during his confirmation hearing?

150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October. It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash. We must get big money out of our politics.

I strongly recommend reading "Saving Capitalism".

From @rbreich.bsky.social substack: "Matt Gaetz as AG would be laughable if it weren’t so horrific and dangerous. The nomination is really Trump’s loyalty test of Senate Republicans: If they go along, there’s nothing they won’t agree to." (no repost - CANNOT have MG's face in my feed)
