Front page of today’s NY Post

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.”

"How low could Trump bring down the U.S. deficit? Deutsche Bank weighs in" All for really nothing

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Donald Trump's face color today registers as color hex #a98158, aptly named Dusty Amber. Definition: Dusty Amber is a muted and earthy shade of orange, reminiscent of sunbaked clay and dried leaves...

She's not wrong......

If you want Trump's playbook, watch the master of autocracy. This has English subtitles.

how united states foreign aid was distributed in 2023

JUST IN: The case, brought by the American Foreign Service Association and the American Federation of Government Employees, was intended to block the administration's efforts to dismantle USAID.

i'm sure trump will love this

China is already filling the void. Musk's USAID fraud talk is feeding the Russian and Chinese narrative. Disgraceful.

Hearing that USAID employees here in the Republic of Georgia have been told to pack one suitcase for each family member and be ready for military evacuation on a moment's notice. This means that they cannot move their households back to the US

sure, folding usaid saves america a couple bucks up front but making up for consequences of the power vacuum this leaves (that china & russia will inevitably fill) will cost us for years to come @gzeromedia.com

If Joe Biden had said this it would have been good for a week’s worth of programming on Fox News

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

At least there will be some type of intelligence.

To all the American flag lapel button wearing Republicans who preach about the rule of law and the constitution, why are you silent or defending the dismantling of US democracy and lawlessness?

But on Day 1...

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history". Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

Living in the Republic of Georgia, the American people should watch how the Georgians handle a corrupt government. 69 straight days of street protests and mass protests every third day in all larger cities. They will not stop until their demands are met.

This is correct.

Yes, beyond everything that is happening. The attack on the American republic, the coming economic carnage, this is a day of great, great shame that we have targeted and attacked our dearest friends and partners.

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

He is right.

Why is it that elites are held to a standard of perfection at all times, and populists are held to no standard at all?

Want to understand what's truly happening with the Executive Order 'Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border'? And the legal constraints/challenges ahead in courts and inside the Pentagon? I am grateful to @marknevitt.bsky.social for lending his expertise on this.⬇️ A must read.
