#TheAgency season 2 > #TheAgency season 1, and season 1 was pretty, pretty good.

The October 2024 cover of The Economist:

“With no explanation“. Of course. What explanation could there possibly be?

Have Trump and his administration done anything in the past 17 months that hasn’t just turned to shit?

Captain. Queeg.

Great thread. (h/t @dandrezner.bsky.social)

We set out to close the Strait of Hormuz?

Only Trump could unite soccer fans to take the side of a ref.

I am often quite critical of @kristenwelker.bsky.social so for once I am pleased to say she did an outstanding job of sticking to her guns in the face of Trump’s attempt to intimidate her.

Bravo! Scott Pelley to his 60 Minutes bosses:

#Hacks Nailed. It.

He certainly isn't Making America Beautiful Again.

“Lincoln Memorial Weigh-Ins”? “Oval Office Walkouts”? The debasement is unending.

Introduce yourself with 10 artists you've seen live: Beach Boys John Denver Fifth Dimension Four Seasons Arlo Guthrie Wayne Newton Simon & Garfunkel Barbra Streisand Supremes (w/Stevie Wonder) Temptations

Call. His. Bluff. He won't do it.

Susan Collins “disappointed”?

@jonathankarl.bsky.social You were there. Did you or anyone else question this comment by noting that Democrats are protesting the exercise of unchecked power whereas King Charles has no actual power and is, in effect, a good will ambassador?

It can't be any more blatant than this. 🧵

Four dimensional chess.

I think it was better when we didn't negotiate on social media.

It's Saturday! 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love.

Captain Queeg vibes.

That time I was turned away from McDonald's because I forgot my driver's license.

If you’re going to spend all this money, at least spend it wisely. Jeez.

But he can’t go anywhere so he needs a ballroom bunker fortress. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

I don’t understand. Trump attends a lot of fundraisers and other functions in hotel ballrooms. Is he not going to appear in public anymore? And why pick on the Hilton? No previous President has been attacked at the WHCD and Reagan was attacked outside the hotel. Last night doesn’t change a thing.

Why didn’t Norah O’Donnell stand up for herself?

@kenjennings.bsky.social What is schvitzed? Me, after today’s game.

This is not the way percentages work, and he knows it.

I got Final Jeopardy tonight and none of them did!

But white Afrikaners are free to come in from South Africa and stay without question. We will never be able to obtain local assistance in any foreign venture in the future. This is shameful.

I'm not going to tell you if I'm beating my wife, but I definitely promise not to do it if I am confirmed.

Witkoff and Kushner?

Wait! Weren’t negotiations going to resume as early as this weekend?

@weissmann.substack.com What sort of burden is on her to justify overturning these convictions? Can the judge refuse?

Pardon my naïveté, but what is the legal justification for taking military action against Cuba?

Then why did he take it down?

I heard the Pope is also not strong and powerful on the 2nd Amendment.

This is revolting. Even if it is intended as some sort of joke (and, with him, there is no way of knowing), this is revolting. Revolting.

“Norah O’Donnell made me do it.”

ABC #WorldNewsTonight repeatedly shows Vance denying that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire agreement but never shows the tweet from the Pakistani prime minister announcing the ceasefire, which expressly references Lebanon. Pakistan mediated the ceasefire, so who knows best?

So, how did we do?

Said much better than I ever could.

Feeling absolutely powerless today.

Pete Hegseth wants to fire anyone who thinks he should be fired, which is anyone who can read at a seventh grade level.

Dumb Presidents, on the other hand...
