It’s a bad day when the news breaking in about the Sean Combs trial is an improvement on the stories about the Big Bad Bill and Alligator Alcatraz.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Brilliant show of statesmanship and solidarity. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer comes out to greet President Zelenskyy on the street. Starmer posted a clip of this moment on his X account. He stated: "Action, not just words. Britain stands with Ukraine, today and always 🇬🇧🇺🇦"

I still cannot believe this is real. It’s psychotic. There are many, many (SO MANY) more consequential heinous things they’ve done, but somehow the crassness of this seems like a new low. The White House shitposting like an especially mean and stupid 14-year-old.

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.

"Making government more efficient" is a fake talking point. If someone was serious about doing it, they'd have kept people who would have assisted, like IG's. But doing it in the manner they are, exposes it as a ruse, a gigantic grift, a grand repurposing of the treasury at the people's expense.

Everyday we get more evidence that the people who proclaim themselves “leftist” that sat in the sidelines because they saw “no difference” between Harris or Trump in the White House have horrible judgment and puny imaginations. I don’t know if solidarity would have won, but disunity brought this.

"There has always been one criticism I found harder to ignore: the Mary problem." But it isn't, really. In fact, in some ways, that apparent "problem" is the key to the film: www.thebulwark.com/there-is-no-...

There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

If we weren't at such a weird moment in history, the collapse of Assad's regime would be widely understood as a huge success for the Biden administration, which pursued sanctions on Russia and Iran as well as Syria, armed Ukraine and thus weakened Russia, and supported Syrian democrats and activists
