Spent nearly a month traveling around MN in 2024 β€” wonderful RV trip that included Red Lakes Falls. Wanted to see where my grandfather was born. Great grandparents were married in Terrebonne in 1900. We loved Minnesota!πŸ₯°

Thank you for alerting me to this episode. Anna Madeley, Liz White, Ben Miles β€” an embarrassment of riches! My afternoon is made.

I’d spend a year in the subway before I’d spend a day with these two.

What I get from the Biden's-decline book is a vivid picture of the self-reinforcing culture of denial/deflection that builds up within the closest circle around a frail president. So the takeaway isn't "Democrats must atone." It's that it's surely happening again, to a greater extreme, right now.

πŸ“’ Trump and Musk cut mortgage help for Veteransβ€”let them lose their homes. But they’ve got $45 million to force the U.S. Army to march for Trump’s birthday?

He’s a draft-dodging coward who treats Troops like props in his fascist fantasy.

I’m starting to think this is deliberate. THIS IS NOT A LITMUS TEST. It’s not even relevant to what we’re facing in this moment. Do not give it oxygen.

THIS IS INSANE:

A thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Yesterday, the acting commissioner of the Social Secrity Administration, Lelnd Dudek, notified Rep. George Latmier that he rejected his and Rep. Lawler's bipartisan effort to keep the only Social Security hearing office in the Hudson Valley open.

Not a lawyer: Why do the courts accept Trump’s lawsuits? Aren’t they nearly always baseless and a waste of judicial resources? Is there any point at which it is illegal to files hundreds of baseless lawsuits as a means of extorting your enemies?

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
