“Transgender mutilization”?

Fam, I’m getting a little nervous about by short crude oil position… …did someone at the WH forget to send the Sunday Night “Talks with Iran are going great” post?

“It’s tempting to characterize the SAVE America Act as a solution in search of a problem, but it is far more insidious. It’s meant to be the problem.”

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

"It's happening, Knicks fans! It's happening!!" This is a treat--the delightful Knicks Radio team of Tyler Murray and Monica McNutt calls the end of Game 5 (start at about 8:30). www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYxq...

Every day should be #EarthDay

Except, it turns out some market participants were suspiciously “all-in” before the rest of us. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

A great interview from @henrymance.ft.com - worth going back to read the original from 2016 as well. So many great lines, I struggle to pick one but…

I, OTOH, can’t recommend a digital subscription enough. Recently became a subscriber and the reporting is phenomenal. More useful than my NYT & WaPo subscriptions combined.

Afraid? A mob of lawless thugs in tactical vests and armed to the back teeth with military hardware are only afraid of one thing: Accountability.

Umm… are we filing the articles of impeachment before close of business or are we going to sit on them for the weekend? “sexual exploitation and rape of a minor child of 13 years of age by Donald J Trump and Jeffrey E Epstein” www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Can I just point out to the good people of DC that Trump and Melania are hosting the premiere of the Melania movie Thursday night at the Kennedy Center for their invited guests. That might be a good opportunity to express displeasure with ICE kidnapping and murdering folks.

“We lost the colonies because our King went insane,” Charles said. “But now the shoe’s on the other bloody foot, isn’t it?”

The first 20 minutes of 2026 already looks better than most of 2025.

@cnn.com needs to dispatch @camanpour.bsky.social in a flak jacket and a helmet to interview people having brunch on the Portland Downtown Waterfront.

What do we think the odds are that: A. Infections rise in public schools; and B. Private schools keep mandates in place and so are not affected?

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

@romanmars.bsky.social takes two @99pi.org podcasts: “99% Invisible” / “What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law”… …mashes them up into a #ConLaw book club! Really looking forward to this.

Humanity exhausted the Earth’s annual ecological budget by 24 July this year, meaning that 1.8 planets would be needed to sustain our rate of resource consumption. www.edie.net/earth-oversh...

This story has all the elements of a perfect Trump vignette: - takes a trophy he didn’t win - hangs around for applause he didn’t earn - thinks he can “Gulf of America” the NFL out of existence with an EO.

Really fascinating Alex O’Connor podcast episode, with @annakaharris.bsky.social on consciousness and her documentary, Lights On. annakaharris.com/lights-on/

Impossible to overstate how resigned the secretary of defense in any other administration in history would be at this point

Really interesting to see the mental gymnastics in MAGA world around Voter ID vs. REAL ID. It’s almost as if “papers, please” is something that should only apply to “other people”.

It seems the market may not be buying the whole “tariffs are paused” framing.

Surprised this didn’t happen sooner but this is the correct first step to document what is almost certainly the biggest cybersecurity incident in US history. bsky.app/profile/wire...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

No he further explained the calculation:

Good morning. Monday morning. In a rank choice voting system you need to rank five good apples for mayor in addition to NOT ranking Cuomo and NOT ranking Adams. Please help spread the word! Share share share!!!! Copy and redo in your own words if you prefer!

Roman salutes from London.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

First they came for the green card holders and I did not speak out - because I was not a green card holder. Then they came for the wine drinkers and a fucking riot broke out.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

I’m going to restrict my online shopping to the evenings. The tariffs are usually cancelled by tea time.

This was a setup. But Zelenskyy doesn’t let Putin bully him… …so I don’t know why they thought he would let Putin’s lapdog have a go.

More of this please.

You really can’t make this stuff up.

lol.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

A fascinating analysis.

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post
