Trump's newfound fixation on no more "drag queens" at Kennedy Center. (1) What's the first time he voiced any opinion whatsoever on drag queens? (2) Has he attended shows with drag queens?

It's wild how many Americans still vaguely think of China as the place where low-wage labor cranks out low-value ticky-tacky products. That was true, I dunno, 20 years ago, but these days China is kicking our ass specifically on sophisticated high-tech engineering. We oughta be embarrassed.

From USAID colleague, with permission to share. It's not just chaos it is devastation and tearing apart of families and communities. Not to talk of systems that kept us safe. This is just one story, multiple this by 10,000. Is this really making America great?

JD Vance says he has "many Canadian friends." Apparently he's not planning on attending any events at Scotiabank Arena

JD Vance is on X saying "Spare me the sob story about how Canada is our “best friend" and complaining "I’m sick of being taken advantage of." Americans and Canadians have fought for liberty for over a hundred years, and we've grown prosperous and free together. JD is an obscene human being.

Elon tweeted today that "USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die." Ok great, so an unelected fascist-curious tech bro idiot is now one of the most powerful actors in the US gov't, and he's going to unilaterally destroy a federal agency (one which does incalculable good in the world)?

New York Times poll analysis--Many " do not believe the Democratic Party is focused on ...economic issues"..and placestoo much emphasis on social issues" abortion, LGBTQ rights, climate change. Climate change unfortunately counted for little in eleciotn, but how is climate change a social issue?

"Moreover, all Times opinion writers were banned from engaging in any kind of media criticism." Man, this account of why Krugman left the NYT is even worse than I anticipated. Everything at that paper is moving in the wrong direction.

@nytimes.com on @warren.senate.gov " She has also said she would like to work with Mr. Trump on legislation to abolish the debt limit." Sounds like unilateral disarmament. Is there any other leverage you have right now?

Rather than checking Trump's blatherings for "facts," ace New York Times @nytimes.com‬ fact checker Linda Qiu would provide more enlightenment by noting the rare occasion when a statement was actually true.

Appalling cruelty beyond comprehension. Trump is ordering an immediate, unlawful shutdown of PEPFAR, potentially denying life-saving HIV medication to millions of people. This guarantees a lethal, global resurgence of the HIV epidemic. Just unfathomable sadism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

Instead of "fact" checking Trump to list false and misleading claims, it would be more time efficient to try to identify the occasional accurate statement.
