Trump is nothing but a useful idiot to our adversaries

Rather than simplistic “let’s ruin the lives of those 8 Senators”, here’s a more intelligent deep dive in to the nuance and facts of the situation

November 10, 2025 Last night, the Senate advanced a measure to end the government shutdown, which at 41 days today is the longest in U.S.

November 10, 2025

Wonderful summary and thoughts on the situation. Puts things in perspective and the reasoning behind the votes of the 8 democrats . Many commenting here either didn’t read Heather’s piece, or didn’t understand it.

What is most maddening, and dangerous, is when the bended-knee media fails to accurately describe, correctly label, and investigate the actions of an authoritarian administration. Rather, cowardly choosing to both/sides or soften the truth of what is happening. All while Rome burns

Belatedly watched 60 minutes Trump interview. OMFG. This isn't journalism.

Such a weak show tonight

Fantastic thanks! I’ll check it out 👍

I like this idea. Does Peacock NBCBoston allow recording or game replay…. or only live tv?

Also note to candidates: If you chose to get a Nazi tattoo at any time in your life, you are a cockroach and certainly not fit for office

Nah, Mookie has been a key part of 3 championship teams (going on 4). Future HOF, amazing defensive versatility and an .809 postseason OPS. The guy is a winner. Trying to downplay that is weak

Falcons owner Arthur Blank’s foundation is making a $50 million donation to four HBCUs in the Atlanta area today - Spelman, Morehouse, Morris Brown & Clark Atlanta. Good stuff.

Bari Weiss is a weird and worrisome choice as top editor for CBS News | Margaret Sullivan When Weiss was named editor-in-chief, it was the latest turn in the network’s confounding departure from its roots

Wonderful column by Margaret Sullivan at The Guardian on the terrible, weird choice of Bari Weis by CBS News

I agree that it’s a great newspaper. My favorite. The cost to access all content, digitally….. is SUBSTANTIALLY more than any other news source. Not even close to being affordable or justifiable for me. A news source for the rich in my opinion which is sad

Paying a substantial amount to be a “standard subscriber” and not having access to all of the content unless paying much more to “upgrade to premium” is a terrible business model and why I cancelled FT. Sorry

… and the response? Genocide

Just when you think The Atlantic is worth the subscription, SMDH 🙄

Absolutely my favorite cuisine. Ethiopian food is amazing!!

If Frum is not immediately fired by @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social @theatlantic.com …… it tells you all you need to know about The Atlantic

FWIW, I read the Globe on the digital app AND sometimes the ePaper. Always see the byline

Venezuela is Trump’s useful enemy Despite the president’s claims, the South American country is nowhere close to being the US’s biggest drug supplier

"None — repeat none — of America’s fentanyl has been found to originate from Venezuela. Yet Trump and Pete Hegseth, his compulsively strutting “secretary of war”, insist that the country is fuelling America’s opioid epidemic." Me on Trump's wag the dog script. www.ft.com/content/5b3e...

Kimmel blackout is what happens when your TV isn’t locally sourced When most Americans weren't looking, a handful of companies seized control over what you see on your local TV channels.

Folks had no idea who owns their local TV stations - until large, faceless corporations, Sinclair and Nexstar, said they can't watch Jimmy Kimmel because of politics

This is why they've been warning us: media consolidation is a threat to democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jimm...

My experience is the opposite. After using the reMarkable for a couple of years I now know where every note and every project are; can search them by tags, transcribe to text if needed, and share seamlessly. And no longer have paper notebooks everywhere

Based on my experiences I disagree. I also tried both and the writing experience, user-friendly features, design, and functionality of the reMarkable were vastly superior for me

America’s accelerating exit from itself After the Kirk murder, Trump is pulverising the country’s founding principles with astonishing ease

Good grief 🙄
