So we drop new episodes on Saturday Come for @justinwolfers.bsky.social stay for @ianbremmer.com podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Not very transparent www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

You see where this is going ….

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I’m not running for congress but I’m very excited to see who does.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Musk shadowbanned her.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

This is really something

Wonder why there are pieces of this thread that don’t show up normally

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

The good news is that he’s not very popular, the bad news is he is very very very very ensconced

Elon musing about prosecuting schiff isn’t mere politics, it’s a lot more than that. I wish Schiff would explain a little bit more of what a norms crusher this is.

No I think it’s good

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

New episode with @whitehouse.senate.gov & @goangelo.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

DEI is the most popular thing in this list lmao

We’re cooked

“It actually felt like history is happening in front of our very eyes,” one Polish official tells @jenkirby.bsky.social in her report from Munich on fears the US is disengaging from the continent—or worse, actively working against it www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” ― George Orwell, 1984 War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

New episode With @joshtpm.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Fwiw I have heard that NIH funding is still paused in spite of court orders, at least to some extent. People seem confused, which seems like the point.

Reading also hard

Hey, I know her! Time to dig out this old meme I made as advice to lawyers about social media.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

Did Adams watch his own appearance on Fox and friends?
