From Eliot A. Cohen @theatlantic.com: "There is a rule in politics never to ascribe to malignity what one can explain through incompetence and stupidity. This approach has become difficult to sustain in the case of the Trump administration ... Both explanations operate simultaneously."

I am one of more than 750 political scientists who signed this statement "express[ing] our urgent concern about threats to the basic design of American government and democracy" drive.google.com/file/d/1lGk2...

Tech giant with deep DOGE ties widens grip on health data canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2... @nicktsergas.ca 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: CanadaHealthwatch.ca/newsletter 🍁

This is disturbing …

WOW: Canadians ruthlessly BOO the United States during the singing of the National Anthem before their game in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off. Three fights then erupt between the two teams within the first 10 seconds of the game.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

By the way, if anyone has the slightest doubt that Donald is full of shit about Canadians getting “the best treatment” and “better care” should their country be annexed by the US, I encourage them to note the relative positions of Canada and the USA on this graph.

I miss when stupid & uncurious people were uninformed rather than misinformed. I miss when they didn't care about any issues instead of caring rabidly about fake issues.

Canada has never been more united

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

😂😂🤣🤣 This would be fun to try … imagine Bozo’s response …

Looks like it’s gonna be VRBO going forward from here.

Despite the unusually bad weather — and the usually bad world news — todays silver lining is finding @terrymatalas.bsky.social @daveblass.bsky.social and @admiralbuck.bsky.social My feed is restored!! Thanks gents!

I would have thought France, the UK, Germany, Poland, Canada, and so on, would like to have a say in this. No? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

❤️❤️❤️

😨

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
