The Orange Felon is today's asbestos.

Who's going to be the CCP leader who says WTF, it's time, let's allow an opposition party? Not Xi but somebody. #China

Thoughtful op-ed! #Taiwan

Here's the case.

Careful there. The Orange Felon crowd is being robbed of their fun.

Good trouble - backed by plenty of facts. The latest from Michael Turton. #Taiwan

Umm. Not so much. CCP down two major allies. VN about it for now. Also, hardly a rules-based actor. #CCP

With the Iranian counterweight gone, Xi finds himself between a rock and a hard place. #CCP

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2072...

Some cogent analysis of what's ruffling CCP feathers as they see a core ally take a hit.

Who says MAGA doesn't love masks.

This is a direct violation of long-standing US policy toward Taiwan. Beginning with the 1982 version, the Six Assurances to Taiwan explicitly states that the U.S. will not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan. Nor will the U.S. set an end date of arms sales to Taiwan.

With folks like VP Hsiao Bi-khim and former president Tsai Ing-wen, #Taiwan has compelling voices to reach out to AOC.

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

Don't forget the candles! #DubNation

This is a major repudiation of Trump's efforts to use the law enforcement system to attack his political opponents. Grand juries only hear the prosecution side and rarely reject indictments. But in this case, the everyday citizens found even the one-sided case unconvincing.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

'These actions are intended to chill political speech, constrain international engagement with Taiwan, and signal that support for Taiwanese democracy carries personal costs,' write Nathan Attrill and Shelly Shih.

Meanwhile, always thoughtful, the latest from Tim Culpan. #Culpium

I hope you spend some time with this story today. It's incredibly important and a small window into what's happening behind the federal government's detention center doors. www.propublica.org/article/life...

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

Silicon shield may be out of favor. Call it silicon smarts, then. Latest from Tim Culpan at #Culpium #Taiwan #TSMC

Buddy stepping up. On ball defense keeping Dubs in this game. Getting to the rim too. Way to go. #DubNation

Meanwhile in Beijing speculation runs rampant whether Xi has had Zhang Youxia killed yet.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an Executive Order that holds federal agents criminally liable for any actions that violate the law "If the federal government will not hold these rogue actors accountable, then Chicago will do everything in our power to bring these agents to justice."

Horrible luck. The Orange Felon would have sold them pardons.

trade the farm

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? R: No

WSJ reports Fulton County officials accused of giving nuclear secrets to China. The newsroom is on a roll!

LOL. Coded messages with Chinese characteristics.

TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.

Heck of a troll while maintaining a straight face. #Taiwan #China #CCP

Purge of General Zhang Youxia and General Liu Zhenli #Xi #China #coup Beijing is in lockdown, the generals are in handcuffs, and the "invincible" PLA has gone silent. The official purge of General Zhang Youxia and General Liu Zhenli on January 24, 2026, marks the most violent structural collapse…

@gallego.senate.gov Good moment for this visit.

Anti-slavery is woke

The Orange Felon can try to whitewash history but cannot erase it.

The wealth of Bob Weir stuff in my timeline shows all is not lost.

The Orange Felon has a unsatisfying dump. Orders fresh tariffs on the next big mac he sees.

call it a tariff

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

Very good news to have Tim Culpan posting on the regular. #TSMC #Taiwan

RIP Bob Weir. Many of the best parts of life have been Bobby songs.

"...social freedom, especially religious freedom, will cease to exist if the PRC occupies Taiwan." No joke. The latest from Michael Turton. #Taiwan

Come up next: AI concludes that "No Kings" is the better business model.

Does anyone trust the Orange Felon to do anything other than let an oligarch class take over Venezuela? Come on. Get real.
