Sorry you had to go through this, let alone sit on it as long as you have. Appreciate you, sir. I hope the weight's a little lighter today.

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

Schrodinger's Kennedy Center performance.

Thanks for being a lot.

People Are Paying Millions to Dine With Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the president at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a…

SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping.

Donald Trump is golfing.

Whenever I leave the room after playing with the dogs.

THEM: you look tired

ME: I am tired

THEM: oh right because of the…

ME: the horrors yeah

THEM: right right, that’s right

During the US governors ball, the US Army Choir surrounded the MAGA leadership and sang: "Do
You Hear The People Sing"

The oligarchs didn’t even realize they were being protested. #3E #USprotest #EndOligarchy

I think maybe the thing that saddens me - more than anything else - is that I remember feeling like we were arguing towards each other instead of away. It's been a while (cue chorus) so maybe its just nostalgia - how would I know. Anyway - I'd love to talk policy. But on hearts? I give no quarter.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger.

Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

10 minutes ago Jonah Bromwich The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation has resigned from the federal prosecutor's office in Manhattan rather than agree to file a motion seeking to dismiss the corruption case against the mayor. In his resignation letter, Hagan Scotten wrote that any federal prosecutor "would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials." He added: "If no lawyer within earshot of the president is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect.

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

Gleefully handling balls to own the libs.

Signing an EO directing changes to Title IX while drafting another to abolish the Department that enforces Title IX is precisely the level of competence that should be expected here.

YES! Chuck, where do you live? Can you call your Senator?

Seconded from VA - with love.

Virginia's not even a swing state anymore and gets no love. We're working our asses off over here.

There's no word to describe this other than "evil" www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/w...

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Most people are assholes. Don't believe me? Next time you see a group of people, yell out "hey, asshole." They'll turn and look.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

"Happy new year" feels inadequate to the task. I don't wish you happenstance happiness. I wish you the grit to seize it when it's in reach.

In 2025, survive. Thrive if you can. And leave the bastards at the bottom of the grave they dug for you.

Get outta here, 2024. Got no use for you anymore.

Well, I’m sure American men losing tens of billions of dollars in a way that barely existed prior to 2020 didn’t influence their opinion on the economy or anything.
