As an American, the symbolism of last night's hockey game is not lost on me. I remember the "Miracle On Ice" and the pride I felt when Team U.S.A. beat the Russians - we were "the good guys". No more. Trump and the GOP have destroyed the good will of numerous allies.

Is this remark off the cuff? IDK. That said, given his history and current dismantling of our democracy, I'd be completely surprised if Trump did NOT try to hold on to power by any means available to him. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A lovely friend from the dark place pointed me to an outstanding version of "Do You Hear The People Sing" from Les Miserables 10th Anniversary. With just 2 lines Jeff Leyton blew me away. Here is his own version which is equally powerful ... youtu.be/P1Q9fcFdQSY?...

Ignore recent history. Ignore the warnings. Vote with your wallet. Watch your country's democracy die. (Notice how no one is talking about the price of eggs anymore?)

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports. It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people. Some populist, huh?

I'm reminded of what @timothysnyder.bsky.social said about Authoritarians - like Trump - who attempt but fail to stay in power. He called these failed attempts "practice".

"DOGE chief Musk asks X users if staffer who quit over racist tweets should be rehired" - CNBC I can't believe this open embracement of racism. Then again, cop beaters were pardoned, so more fool me for being shocked.

The US spends a small amount of its GDP on foreign aid compared to other major economies. Dismantling USAID won’t help Americans — it’s just cruel & reckless political theatrics. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

Musk’s obsession with ending USAID is just a distraction (and a humanitarian disaster.) It’s a miniscule part of the national budget so improving or even eliminating it would have essentially no effect on overall government efficiency.

Update: As part of his "American Gaza" proposal, Trump will offer to "buy" Gaza for a total of $24 worth of beads and trinkets. "This is a big, beautiful, fantastic deal!" - Trump

"Gaza" is another shiny object Trump is using to distract Americans from what he, Elon and his oligarch buds are doing. It is exhausting, and that is the point. Trump wants Americans to focus on the outrageous. The more we pull our hair out about tariffs, DEI, Gaza ...

@steveinskeep.bsky.social interview with Trump pardon recipient. I appreciate Mr. Johnatakis' comments, but I don't buy that he didn't foresee a violent outcome. By coordinating the breaking through of police barriers, he fanned the flames of violence that day. www.npr.org/2025/01/24/n...

Watching the PBS coverage of President Carter's funeral service while listening to NPR coverage. The choir is phenomenal. RIP President Carter, and thank you. God bless. God speed.

BOWFINGER (1999) "YOU BASTAAAAAAAARD!!!" Hilarious escapade of "filmmakers" pulling every stunt imaginable to make "Chubby Rain" a reality. Great comic performances all around, especially Heather Graham, Christine Baranski (always wonderful) and kudos to Eddie Murphy.
