The return of the brave brave “anonymous Republican sources”. God, @politico.com stop doing this. apple.news/AkJLs6UDsQ6u...

Irony is dead. "Zelensky is an actor who committed a common mistake of theater kids: He started to think he's the character he plays on TV," a White House official involved in the talks said.

Dear democracies: This is your most potent leverage over Trump. apple.news/ANbdPloxmQ0-...

Definitely sober.

@newsmax.com has more spine then @axios.com when it comes to defending the first amendment. What a disgrace. @vandehei.bsky.social

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

A great clip about what Hochul would have to do to remove Adams. It’s a long road. To be clear, I think it’s a road she should travel. I personally think doing nothing is the wrong thing to do.

Chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the Estonian parliament 👇🏽

While Musk’s DOGE slashes federal jobs in Omaha, Rep. Don Bacon, despite being Congress’s most endangered Republican, offers only press releases. #OmahaJobs #HoldThemAccountable #ElonMusk #DonBacon #DOGE #CommunityFirst

Good Read. Great ideas.

My latest about how Canada can use anti-corruption as leverage. Other democracies should mirror this. thetyee.ca/Bios/Kristof...

Every time this happens, NATO needs to admit Russia is attacking it and respond accordingly. www.n-tv.de/politik/Mari...

Hard hitting news from ABC apple.news/Atx2AAUD_QPK...

Time to delete Google Maps. apple.news/A2nCkTOHlSRm...

Oh apple.news/AgMuMXPJYRdq...

Dammit @reuters.com stop doing this. This is stupid.

Plus the insider trading apple.news/AWQgaCC8mS2e...

aaaand now it all makes sense

This Canadian MP has more spine than the entire GOP Congress

Explaining to CNN the economic chaos that Donald Trump is about to unleash on his own people. We will never break or concede to an erratic thug who seems like Al Capone in his syphilitic phase trying to pull a shakedown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ZE...

Now the Canadians are really mocking him

Demagogues, oligarchs, and literal teenage boys are tearing apart our government. They are fueled by Silicon Valley’s dream of a monarchist network state and blood and soil white nationalism and every day they are in power means years of work required to fix it. www.garbageday.email/p/musk-s-sup...

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

Addled old man time

CBS NEWS: “.. the water released from dams at Lake Kaweah and Lake Success is rushing into a dry lakebed in the Central Valley, where experts say it can't flow to Southern California and will likely go to waste.” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

Do it. Actions have consequences, and saddled up to Trump. This is what happens. pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/b...

Translated: Because Trump can’t negotiate an end to the war, they’re demanding Ukraine hold elections, which would produce results friendly to Moscow due to IDPs, logistics, etc. and then have this Moscow-friendly regime negotiate the deal with Moscow. www.reuters.com/world/us-wan...

0% chance Maduro upholds this deal. Even if he could stop people trying to leave this social misery, it benefits him for these people to leave. It’s a safety valve. It’s naivety on stilts to think he’d risk his own rule for Trump. apple.news/AZ6x9X7MqQNy...

Totally shocked. apple.news/Aivu-5lzyQ46...

Soooo, turns out the alarmists weren’t being alarmist.

Canada and Mexico should ban the sales of Tesla. No taxes. Just ban the things.

States now hire unjustly fired FBI agents, prosecutors, and other unjustly fired federal personnel. Good people at the right time.

Excellent from @davidfrum.bsky.social. The American economy faces enormous problems when other trade parters begin to pull their capital back from this kind of lawlessness. apple.news/A8SwK2zWdT6q...

Definitely not authoritarian apple.news/AiqiCKMHuSym...

Biden did not have the strength to declare Russia a terrorist state. Will Trump? Constant factory bombings, train attacks, bombs on DHL planes. It’s time to get serious. open.substack.com/pub/olgalaut...

BREAKING: In dramatic reversal, Trump administration embraces DEI

‼️ Russia is now using Shahed drones with an increased warhead of up to 90 kg and metal elements (shrapnel) to increase the number of civilian casualties, - Yermak "Criminals and terrorists must be held accountable for this and they will be," he added.

The political story of this year is whether Chip Roy and Thomas Massie fold in the face of Trump demanding they vote to add $4+ trillion to the national debt. If the life-long fiscal hawks hold, it won’t happen. Prediction: They will not hold. www.axios.com/2024/04/19/i...

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

“interesting opening gambit” — @csis.org’s Jon Alterman to Trump’s ethnic cleansing proposal. apple.news/ATmYHhBQjSiq...

She’s very, very concerned. apple.news/AuKciQFt4Tg-...

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

"Shadow president Elon Musk has already managed to kill a policy that would have damaged his Tesla investments in China. Now he’s the leader of a fake 'department' that will no doubt spare his SpaceX contracts from cuts." @jilldlawrence.bsky.social on Trump/Musk www.thebulwark.com/p/tik-tok-fl...

Gotta love the British press.
