it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

So Elon saw my commmentary on Gates and wanted a piece of the action:

Classic framing of an authoritarian leader:
the leader becomes the source of all achievement, the regime becomes the owner of every success.

President Trump says the U.S. will “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since the 1990s.

Nuclear expert and disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand says the move will inflame geopolitical tension and that “our luck is going to run out at some point.”

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever.

There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.

Senate debates bill to add warning labels to alcohol packaging | CBC News Sen. Patrick Brazeau is trying a second time to pass legislation that would add cancer warning labels to alcohol packaging.

“What is astonishing to me as a legal scholar is that the alcohol industry has somehow circumvented their legal and moral responsibility to warn consumers.”

No question this bill should be made law. Make alcohol follow the same plain packaging rules as tobacco.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Elon Musk’s Twitter feed is the farthest-right, most hateful and disinformation-forward social media feed I’ve seen of any person who doesn’t openly identify as a member of a hate group. It’s toxic at a level that in any other era would have led to *anyone* in business ceasing all dealings with him.

Breaking on MSNBC:

An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

This news was first reported by Reuters.

In Moldova, the pro-European Party of Action&Solidarity got over 50% of the votes

The pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc has 25.6%, the Russia-friendly Alternativa Bloc got 8.3%, and Our Party (which wants "balanced foreign policy") between East&West has 6.3%.

The numbers might change slightly.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.
