My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

I’m sure people are going to trot out a host of bad faith arguments for the firings, but “historically, presidents do whatever they want” does not hold up

gotta say causing more or less concentrated recession right around the national capital—a place that is already fairly hostile to you—for highly educated and civic-minded bureaucrats is not a wise sound strategy

People are misinterpreting this. He did this because the Heil Hitler salute is German as a French nationalist he just fundamentally hates anything German.

I’m sure there was always bad shit but I remember covering Rick Perry at CPAC in 2015 because he used some misleading/false numbers about Texas energy use and now every speech is like “only King Trump can stop the vile hordes of immigrants from eating your children” and ends with a Nazi salute

The NYT does this exact move--presenting someone active in Republican politics as just a regular voter--enough times that it cant be considered an accident. Its part of their MO of laundering GOP talking points to try & help them win.

If Biden said that California was voting until a week and half ago, the New York Times would publish 14 stories on tomorrows front page followed by 88 op-eds and another 300 stories this week about his mental acuity. Peter Baker would rush to the WH to give Biden a proctology just for kicks

Reiterating that this would be one of the largest tariff hikes in modern US history—could affect >$300B in US imports, mostly from close allies like 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇪🇺🇯🇵🇰🇷, & if targeting vehicle parts would drive up prices for US carmakers in conjunction with existing steel/aluminum tariffs

Nazi salutes are having a moment. Our critic weighs in. Steve Bannon’s offered precise form worthy of 1930s Germany, but Elon Musk’s honored the drug-fueled mania of the original Nazis.

Trump's tariffs on Canada & Mexico would be worse for the U.S. auto industry than a UAW strike, a notable Michigan economic group is predicting, and would harm the industry for a much longer period, while raising the cost of cars & trucks by up to $9000 www.freep.com/story/money/...

You can really feel the anti-Trump sentiment building, and it's not Kitchen-Table Americans complaining about egg prices, it's about the contempt for the rule of law, the reckless cuts, the abandonment of allies, the mistreatment of other Americans

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

That CSIS is even entertaining this situation is a mark of autocratic breakthrough. It is not a mere partisan proposal, it’s an attack on the free world & the post-war settlement as a whole. It must be assessed as such. I don’t think you can work there and stay true to the Four Freedoms.
