Mere weeks ago, media outlets were still publishing pieces asking where the “resistance” was. It seems we are now well past that: Possibly, that’s because “the resistance” is bubbling up in too many places to track.

Crucial from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social: ABC News' surrender to Trump shows news orgs are vulnerable to pressure on companies that own them. Trump will use the state to threaten them. "It looks like they’re making concessions in advance," she tells me. On the pod: newrepublic.com/article/1894...

Say hi to @peterelkind.bsky.social! 👋 #ICYMI: Read his previous reporting about how Lincare, the nation’s largest distributor of home oxygen equipment, has repeatedly violated Medicare rules and probation agreements.

George Galloway: "The Arab world is now dead to me. The Syrian Arab Republic was its last gasp."

@vanguardpod.bsky.social For starters, get off of Twitter and start posting here on Blue Sky Secondly, this is awesome! youtu.be/LobjU6vQQHw?...

if you're expressing shock that people are really mad at health insurance companies, then you're telling on yourself www.kff.org/health-costs...

A statement from D’Souza, quietly posted to D’Souza Media’s website early Monday, revealed that the geolocation data that he called “the premise of the film” wasn’t actually real. newrepublic.com/post/188910/...

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

We went from “Get money out of politics” to “politics IS money” real fucking quick… www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/elon...

Donald Trump has tapped his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law, Massad Boulos, to serve as his adviser for Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. newrepublic.com/post/188908/...

By nominating Kash Patel, and the rest of his motley crew of conspiracy theorists and alleged sexual predators, Trump is removing the guardrails on his second administration. newrepublic.com/post/188905/...

FACT CHECK: It's not true that *only* Hunter got a get-out-of-jail-free card. Biden's aides also just quietly gave all of Corporate America a get-out-of-jail-free card - and it arrived just as many of Biden's staff are likely looking for jobs in the corporate sector.

It's official. Elephant Graveyard IS the "New King" youtu.be/E4ScrdLc-wg?...

With so many people surrendering already -- media figures and former friends -- my question is will you surrender to MAGA too? youtu.be/N7OV87nnh8s

Whoops!

In real life, Hunter is awaiting sentencing for tax fraud and gun charges and likely to go to prison. He hasn't gotten away with shit. Joe Biden has said he won't pardon Hunter. The expectation he'll do otherwise results from Trump corrupting the pardon process. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“The only way we’re going to get through what’s coming is extreme solidarity... Shame on these actors and publicists.” – @ghostpanther.bsky.social on Hollywood’s fear of Trump’s wrath related to the new film The Apprentice. We talked with the film’s screenwriter– www.levernews.com/the-new-movi...

The patients are now running Arkham Asylum..

Is there a SINGLE person in Trump's entire fucking cabinet that *HASN'T* been accused of a sex crime or involved in covering one up???

The most expensive election in American history was in 1896, costing about 0.06 percent of U.S. GDP. This year was more expensive, especially if you count Elon Musk's in-kind donation of purchasing the information machine of Twitter, writes @ryanlcooper.com.
