How much longer before Gerard Butler storms into the White House and takes him down?

When Trump and Musk disregard the Supreme Court who will be sent to arrest them?

The U.S. Economy Is Racing Ahead. Almost Everything Else Is Falling Behind. The gap between Americans’ prosperity and quality of life has grown since the 1990s.

Money isn't everything America. You have tons of it, but are, collectively, miserable.

Given how absurdly wealthy he is and that he personally controls a global communication platform, perhaps it would actually be fair to limit Elon Musk's freedom of speech to render it proportional to that of most humans by , say, oh I don't know...only allowing him 1 tweet per 1000 years?

Can, we just refer to 47 as Dumb Hitler?

OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at @losangelestimes.bsky.social. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where I hope you will follow me going forward.

Canada’s oil patch rattled by Trump's tariff threat The proposed tariffs, if applied to oil and gas, could hammer Canada's economy and hike prices at the pump for Americans, analysts say.

If only there were pipelines to the water that allowed Canada to ship its oil elsewhere...

People need to take this threat very seriously. "But RFK Jr also wants people to lose weight" and similar sanewashing attempts are inexcusable

.@emptywheel.bsky.social offers Senate Judiciary Committee members questions to ask AG nominee Pam Bondi at her confirmation hearing-- questions that point out Bondi's own complicity in covering up past corruption.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.

We can no longer teach our children that.

The court martial bit is conjecture. Fine. But Trump's plan to purge Generals will likely go far beyond any realignment from previous Administrations.

I don't watch MSNBC.

There's a marked difference between the realignment of top military brass, which is to be expected, and an all-out purge, with court martials, of Generals who pissed you off during your last term. The latter will not go over well...at all.
