Ukraine destroyed a third of Russia’s bomber fleet in a massive drone strike, and didn’t even tell Trump. He found out on TV. That’s how little world leaders trust this guy. Hard to blame them.

Every day seems to deepen the severity and magnitude of our never-ending national facepalm. That's because this election has put many of us in a precarious position that we've never been in our entire lives: we're now ashamed of our homeland.

The United States of Embarrassment
Lately, I confess that I’ve been imagining myself in a way I never have before in over a half-century of living here in America: I’m imagining myself as an expat.

➡️ My latest: Scientists at the F.D.A. had concerns about a lab-grown blood vessel. The company had deemed early deaths and amputations as 'success' cases in a key study. FDA scientists counted them as failures. The agency approved it anyway. GIFT:

FDA-Approved Artificial Blood Vessel Stirs Concerns (Gift Article)
The F.D.A. approved an artificial vessel to restore blood flow in patients, despite its own scientists flagging questionable study results and potentially fatal ruptures of the product.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all.

Took over 200 years for US to develop a robust federal government, rule of law, some social programs to abate abject poverty, to make some progress toward an inclusive, pluralist polity. It has taken 2 days of Trump’s Republican Fascist regime to threaten it all. Hard to build, easy to destroy.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
