I recently finished reading two books by Elliot Ackerman, 2034 and 2054. Their premises have to do with the future world order and how various countries have gained or lost influence, notably the US, China, Iran, Russia and India. I think you who are into current events would find them interesting.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

#StopTheOligarchy 15 years ago today, the Supreme Court made a ruling called Citizens United that lets politicians get away with using dark money from their wealthy donors. Billionaire donor oligarchs should not be running America — nobody voted for this.

Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel because he wants to show Republicans that he is the boss. That he can strip them of their dignity by making them support terrible nominees. Senate Republicans may be in the majority, but Trump controls them. That is the story.
