Sam Harris, Elon Musk's former friend, said he is “snorting ketamine and tweeting at all hours of the day and night,” and that his behavior is “palpably, visibly deranged." Nailed it. 🍿

While Trump crows about his great COVID record, remember this, from the COVID Crisis Group (a bipartisan collection of scientists and public health experts), in a study published last year. Excerpt from The Death of Expertise, second edition.

BREAKING: Matt Gaetz paid for other sexual encounters via a second Venmo account belonging to a then-19-year-old Gaetz calls his “adopted son.” Possible Gaetz switched accounts because he knew Feds were investigating. RELEASE THE GAETZ REPORT - we deserve to know the truth!

Trump makes history again. No other president’s named Cabinet members who’ve been accused of sex offenses or been related to an accused sex offender.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Welp. This will not be about “efficiency”. This will be about making government accountable to oligarchs rather than to the people. It’s going to be a long, rough ride.

My friends from the Other Place know me. I believe in reason. I try not to overreact to events. Studying history helps. Nothing is new under the sun. But I’ve got to say, Trump’s initial moves have me very worried we are about to see the worst of times. Unlike anything since 1861-65.

I endorse the postelection takeaway that the anti-Trump coalition needs to infiltrate digital spaces more effectively than it has. What I can't back is the idea that the anti-Trump coalition needs to come out with a bunch of its own Daily Wire type venues. There is no liberal equivalent to this👇
