Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

Most heartbreaking quote on the latest episode of Haaretz Podcast comes from Syrian-born journalist @hhassan.bsky.social, who discussed the fall of the Assad regime with host @allisonksommer.bsky.social. "It really takes a rich imagination to imagine something worse than Assad," he said
