Going into this year with an ambitious goal. To find some balance in my life. open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since the pandemic—year-on-year job losses have hit 65k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out

My tribute to #robreiner open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

The US Tourism industry is about to get with a hammer and no one is talking about it. #USTourism fredericpoag.substack.com/p/the-horrib...

Hatred of immigrants is rooted in a failure to understand who is really oppressing you.

Why do the shittiest people still want to be recognized and rewarded? Because it’s not about actually doing things. It’s purely ego driven and it’s hurting all of us. #FIFA open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

Listen if you’ve seen Mamdani’s wife you know that man can charm anyone.

When someone says “take baby steps” I feel like I’m just gonna fall on my ass and then start crying until someone picks me up.

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve. No contract? NO COFFEE!

Um. Did he forget what happened? The dementia is really, really bad.

Until we put people first we’re gonna keep getting the same outcomes. #healthcare

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.” Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

More than FAFO for Texas Republicans we should be furious they can fuck around with our voting rights so easily. Demand an end to ALL gerrymandering. Demand the John Lewis Voting Rights Act Pass as a Start. A Bare Minimum. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTredaJPq/

Trump Gives Himself an Enormous Out on the Epstein Files talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

NEW: House passes release of the Epstein files. So far it's unanimous

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

"It is a total neglect of American values!" @timmiller.bsky.social has something to say about Trump's gross Oval Office meeting with MBS

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Whatever it takes we have to do this. #epstein open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

Everything is Epstein and Trump. Awesome discussion with my good friends @julieroginsky.bsky.social & David Schuster. Check out @themaydaynetwork.com for more of Julie and @blueampmedia.bsky.social for more of David. #epstein open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

My life, basically

Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify. The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil. Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court. Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

Fox goes with real-world math over WH gaslight.

The most corrupt America Last President in history. Every day a new pardon worse than one the day before.

“We can’t solve any of this with a strongly worded letter.” @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social on why Democrats need to stop waiting for permission — and start meeting the moment with the urgency it takes to win. 📺 WATCH: youtu.be/lApuRKaRmN4 @julieroginsky.bsky.social @michellekinney.com

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

It doesn’t happen often enough, but co-anchoring with the Judge is always a treat. 2017 vs. 2025. @scottwapner.bsky.social @cnbc.com

Don't waste time living in the past or a future that's not here yet. Focus on right now. #stoicism open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

The photo in the Oval Office today captured the ugly soul of America’s monied classes. Like I’ve said. You don’t need to be worried if the other classes are reading Marx. It’s when they start reading Lenin. “Every society is three meals away from chaos.” - Lenin

What happens when you view success and failure through the same lens? You're really starting to live your life. #stoicism open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

Oof. The most accurate framing I'm read on the US economy to date.

MAGA cope is gonna be off the charts today! #Mamdani open.substack.com/pub/frederic...
