How much money will Trump Family make in using US military to kidnap Venezuela’s leader and secure their oil?!? (note: not clear to me how kidnapping leader gives US/Trump Family control of Venezuela’s oil)

Maduro is a bad dude, but kidnapping sitting rulers of foreign counties is illegal & unconstitutional AND can have very negative consequences for US.

Democrats are the pro-Family Party.

(1) NYT not connect the corruption to a broader narrative of corruption, and impact of corruption on US, limiting impact of this work (2) even worse, NYT won’t bother to mention this corruption in future articles about Trump making deals for US that intersect things outlined in this good article.

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

NYT lost, NYC won! Fun to see NYT take the L!

Mayor Mamdani!

Democratic controlled cities are safe & interesting & prosperous, yet constantly defamed by the Corporate Media that lives in them.

Not sleepwalking: Republicans are intentionally killing masses of their children to prove their loyalty to their cult. Republican-states with disease, guns, lawlessness, mass poverty in danger of rapidly regressing into dystopian hellholes. We need to ensure they don’t drag rest of US with them.

Washington Post’s articles are just a cleaned-up version of Trump’s racist disinformation rants.

Trump focused on 4 things his first year: corruption, taxes in working families, undermining meager social safety for working families, terrifying minority & Democratic communities.

NYT covered Biden’s age with 315 landing page articles in 2024, every one of them about immediate gratification of attacking Democrats with vibes with no meaning, but had less than 25 articles about Project 2025. They care more about collaborating with Trump more than rigorous fact-gathering.

September 1939: “Following the Poland-US meeting, Trump lauded Hitler, saying the German president “wants to see Poland succeed”.

Imagine if NYT channeled their hatred towards Trump, rather Mamdani.

Must be stressful meeting the boss before a big meeting.

NYT collaborates in war on higher-education and free-speech.

Trump’s tariff policy does not force the rest of the world to pay US because of our economic hegemony, instead it forces the rest of the world to end our economic hegemony to avoid of the capricious taxes & regulations & overt corruption that is unacceptable in an economic power.

They keep telling US that this is hard truths, but it is just Republican disinformation. NYT IS COLLABORATING.

i live in a major historic black city represented by a white republican solely because of a gerrymander where's my article

US President is an obviously disturbed person (beyond corrupt, uninformed, authoritarian, incompetent). Everyone around the world knows this, except many Americans, because Corporate Media *sanewashes* him.

NYT is challenging journalistic norms of being pro-democratic.

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Trump: I can create arbitrary & absurd tariffs, everyone needs US, so they will just pay it Rest of World: we can find new products & markets, and retaliate with tariffs & undermine US exports Trump: <string of lies & gibberish> Corporate Media: Trump is Making America Great Again!

Default for any US action has to be that they are lying and whatever the action was done to harm innocent people for the benefit or stupidity of Trump.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

US President is an obviously disturbed person (beyond corrupt, uninformed, authoritarian, incompetent). Everyone around the world knows this, except many Americans, because Corporate Media *sanewashes* him.

Every “harsh truth” the Elite want center-left to hear is exactly what right-wing Elite want to say.

NYT just watched JD Vance embrace racist ideals & rhetoric, state he was neutral towards the increasingly public unapologetic racism of his party, and declared he was a great unifier. If you say racist things & refuse to condemn overt racism, you are a racist.

Crazy how incompetent our wannabe authoritarians are: they hide 99% of Trump-Epstein files, redact everything the release, insert obviously forged photos, but they accidentally release more incriminating stuff, screw up the redactions, forgeries too obvious to miss.

Buried as 15th graph: “Analysts also cite recent economic challenges related to President Trump’s tariffs. A backlash from Canadian consumers and provinces, which control alcohol sales, has virtually stopped the sale of American whiskey in what was once among the industry’s biggest export market.”

Congress passed law to release Trump-Epstein Files and Trump (1) released about 1% of Files (2) redacted almost everything (3) clearly doctored photos & added others to attack his enemies. Only meaningful story about this “release” is everyone involved is clearly breaking the law.

Any Corporate Media pretending that this is, in any way, a release of the Trump-Epstein Files despite it being (1) almost nothing (2) fully redacted (3) contains obvious fraud, is spreading obvious Trump disinformation: everyone involved in this “release” is breaking the law.

I expected Trump to hide his crimes in the Trump-Epstein Files with a scalpel, so we could endless debate if he truly released the un-redacted files: FACT TRUMP HAD TO TAKE A CHAINSAW TO THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES TO RELEASE THEM WITHOUT INCRIMINATING HIMSELF MEANS HE MUST BE HIDING A LOT OF CRIMES

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

Functionally ending FBI was a bad idea.

Who will kill more people: RFK/HHS, Noem/DHS, Hegseth/DoD, Rubio/State?

Shocked that after 10 years of no accountability for continuously publicly blazingly breaking the law, after Supreme Court told Trump he can break any law he wants without accountability, Trump thinks he can break any law he wants without accountability.

Solid podcast on how Walter Isaacson spent 2 years embedded with Musk as he transitioned to funding & leading international white supremacist movement, killing 100,000s of people, undermining democracy & freedom & opportunity around world, and COMPLETELY MISSED IT www.buzzsprout.com/2040953/epis...

<sarcasm emoji> Really starting to wonder if reassigning FBI to harass hard-working law-abiding immigrants, rather than criminals, was a good idea. Immigrants are terrified & innocent people are suffering, but we may have multi-state serial killer(s) slipping through what is left of law enforcement.

Kennedy Center => TRUMP-Kennedy Center We can play this game too! Epstein Files => TRUMP-Epstein Files Trump Ballroom => Epstein Ballroom Trump Tower New York => Letitia James Tower New York Mar-a-Lago => Palm Beach Home for Victims of Domestic Abuse

Very Honest Question: do we know for sure if they have stopped trafficking 14 year old girls at Trump's private club?

Republican policy on energy is bad for US independence & environment & unpopular when explained to people, while Democratic policy on energy is good for US independence & environment & popular when explained to people!

Is CBS just restarting Crossfire?

Your article is about how Democrats don't support oil & gas industry but last Democratic presidential candidate boasted in debate about "largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over rely on foreign oil.″ www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

What makes @mattyglesias.bsky.social such a great tool for right-wing is how effortlessly he conflates actual Democratic policy with right-wing-caricature of Democratic policy, validating their lies about Democratic policy. Kudos to Matt for subtlety noting in 8th graph oil & gas thrived under Biden

Confident that Trump (and team) are living in far-right-wing echo-chamber of Fox & X, and simply do not understand how shocked & appalled typical Americans are by an increasingly uninformed, lying, confused, and weak Trump. You have to be extremely out-of-touch with reality to think this would work.

Domestic oil & gas production both skyrocketed under Obama and stayed high. Did we win everything? Of course not. But this is another pointless messaging-only claim that, if everyone to Yglesias's just left shut up, then Dems would win everything. That's not how it works.

Marco Rubio just straight up looks like a sad divorced man at a Motel 6.

Bizarre to see Corporate Media talk about "officials" and "authorities" in regard to the Brown mass shooting: critical to know if they are federal (probably lying and possibly working against the investigation) or state/local (truthful and eagerly trying to solve the investigation).
