Even some of Trump’s loudest critics begrudgingly acknowledged that bullying NATO members to pay more for their defense was a good thing. Not so fast! In the 90s I recall reading an Economist piece that asked the question: Would we really be comfortable with a remilitarized Germany on the Continent?

For the lawyers on BSKY: Could there be a class action lawsuit representing American citizens wrongfully detained by ICE seeking to enjoin them in a consent decree preventing them from detaining people without probable cause? Is anyone working on something like this?

Trump’s address to the nation/press conference was a rambling mess. He kept going off on tangents trying to score political points. His justification for the invasion came late in the speech after he’d stepped on his own toes. Expected the NYTimes to lead with: In a rambling speech to the nation, …”

Wanna see a crazy chart? Of course you do. Spending on constructing datacenters and manufacturing facilities for computers & electronic products in the US now exceeds the entire retail and wholesale industry and almost as much as the rest of the office and manufacturing sectors combined.

Does the FTC’s consent decree on the Omnicom acquisition of IPG put Omnicom at a competitive disadvantage over its competitors? I mean, Publicis, WPP, Dentsu, and Stagwell can advise their clients on brand safety, but Omnicom has its hands tied. #omnicom #advertising #FTC #brandsafety

@mattbelloni.bsky.social “A1C” is your blood glucose (or sugar) level over time. If you suffer from Type 2 Diabetes or are diagnosed as pre-diabetic, your A1C will be elevated. People with these conditions struggle to bring it down.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

There need to be more and more stories like this documenting stories of real people who obviously pose no threat to the US having their basic human rights abused by ICE.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul should not dismiss Mayor Eric Adams. Oh, he deserves it. But, her polls are weak and the Republicans will use it against her in the next election—they want her to do it. Adams is now unpopular. Cuomo will enter the race and crush him in the Dem Primary.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

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*?

This whole Hegseth confirmation makes no sense. Everyone knows he’s going to crash and burn as Secretary of Defense — he’s wholly unqualified. He’ll be out after the midterms, just like so many others in T’s first term. All this time, money, and effort is just to save face.

DOGE in the DOGE House? – Basically, I agree with this perspective reported in this morning’s Punchbowl News. Unless the GOP-led Congress go way out of their way to create some sort super committee with special powers, most of the DOGE recos will be dead on arrival.
