The original purpose of NATO, our columnist Bret Stephens writes, was "to keep the Americans in Europe, the Russians out, and the Germans down. Under Trump, it's something like the opposite: America out, Russia in, and (the wrong kind of) Germans up."

"There's this line in that piece that says, no one has found any examples since 1865 of a president refusing to carry out a judicial decree. And that's the fear right now that is animating many of the legal experts." @sbg1.bsky.social joins Tim Miller:

MOST EPIC TELEVISION FAIL SINCE THE "HEIDI" GAME: KPRC Channel 2 in Houston, the nation's 10th largest TV market, cuts away from SNL50 to its local newscast and MISSES an iconic moment in TV history: Sir Paul McCartney, 82, closing the show with "And In the End" 61 years after his Ed Sullivan debut.

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

Again, this could be a coincidence - or it could be DOGE installing back doors in agencies' payment systems so they can turn them on and off at will. One agency had a head's up for scheduled maintenance, but the others had no such alert. The systems were all offline for about an hour. END/

Want even more proof that Trump is just a leftist, anti-business, big-government NYC Democrat? Think of the BILLIONS in UNCOMPENSATED costs that businesses along the Gulf Coast must now swallow to change all their promotional material -- just because the Child-in-Chief needs to stroke his, uh, ego.

Trump's not an adult. He's a child whose intellectual and emotional maturation stopped in 7th grade. To discipline a child, take away his privileges and toys. Canada should consider seizing American-owned accounts, companies and properties there, and even U.S. military facilities on Canadian soil.

Sounds like Bryce Mitchell is trying out for the Trump Cabinet. www.tmz.com/2025/01/30/b...

Trump has gagged the CDC, but not me. So I'm sharing this. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

Perfect.

🌥️ Clouds increase and still gusty in the foothills, especially this morning. Highs in the mid-40s in Denver. ❄️ Light snow develops after 8p in the Denver area tonight, earlier in the mountains. 1-4” likely in Denver, most of which will fall tomorrow morning. #COwx

The bill would make it unlawful for “a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.” Oh, come now! How this idiot intends to police men's masturbation remains unclear. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

A ruling blocking Trump's birthright citizenship order wasn't issued by a liberal Democrat. It came from a REAGAN-APPOINTED federal judge. Maybe it's a sign that constitutional conservatives are FINALLY finding their backbone. Let other Ike-Reagan Republicans know it's safe to stand on principle.

Dear Donald, If you are truly a Christian, you would never be offended by a Bishop of the Church asking you to be merciful to the powerless. To remember the teachings of Jesus Christ. But of course after the sermon you chose to call her nasty & boring. Why are we not surprised?

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform. Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ? Their greed is our opportunity.

Trump reclaimed the presidency "in the same Capitol Rotunda where his supporters defecated, rampaged, and assaulted police in the deadly January 6th riot intended to keep him in power and keep Joe Biden out." @jilldlawrence.bsky.social is not having it: www.thebulwark.com/p/lies-and-f...

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Things we can’t say anymore. “Not even the president is above the law” “Peaceful transition of power” “Respect the outcome of elections”

I'm reading The Origins of Totalitarianism. The destruction of the perception of fact vs non-fact and propaganda to support it is intentional. We need The Fourth Estate to do their jobs well to counter this and they are failing us. There is no rule of law if we cannot agree that a fact is a fact.

One of the more personally difficult things for me to wrap my mind around is the destruction of law. Of rules and norms. I’m a lawyer. Always wanted to be a lawyer. An enormous part of my entire concept of my life and work is that the rules matter. So, what now???

Sad news. He was always fun.

The saddest part is, everyone knows what we’re talking about.

As wildfires intensify and grow more frequent in a warming world, the smoke from these fires is emerging as a new and deadly pollution source, experts say. By some estimates, wildfire smoke already causes as many as 675,000 premature deaths a year worldwide. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/c...

Under their own shortsighted ruling, the justices would have to rule that Trump's payment of hush money to a porn star was an "official act" as president. If these sycophants do that, just to please Der Führer, the last shred of SCOTUS credibility will be gone. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Is the climate warming? Yes. Are we feeling the impacts of it in Denver/Colorado? Yes. Is the fact that it's raining in Denver on Christmas a product of climate change? Probably not. And daily weather is rarely the way to view climate change impacts. #COwx

Aliens or high level moisture forced over the Rockies? Definitely aliens #COwx

I was looking at an old scrapbook of all the GOP campaigns I worked on between 1968 and 2012. I became a Republican because of what Lincoln called ‘the better angels of our nature,’ but now under Trump's thumb, my party only caters to mankind's worst, crudist, most visceral impulses. Makes me sad.

⛅️ A few more clouds today but warm again, with a high in the mid-60s in Denver. We'll have a fair bit of cloud cover through the day, with light mountain snow late tonight. 🎄 A bit cooler tomorrow + Tuesday (50s for highs), with a light mix possible Christmas night. #COwx #Denver

Of course there's some war fatigue in Ukraine. But this isn't some hidden truth the mainstream media won't touch, and its acknowledgment doesn't have to come packaged with typical pro-Russia talking points.

After Fox co-workers told media he was often drinking or hungover while at work, Pete Hegseth challenged people to find a single clip showing him drinking on the job. We accepted the challenge.

South Koreans showing us how to protect democracy. This should have happened to Trump within a week of 1/6.

Really, Captain Obvious? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Imagine Trump as POTUS when Japan attacked #PearlHarbor 83 years ago. Instead of decrying the day of infamy and declaring war as FDR did, Trump would have invited Tojo to Mar-a-Lago for golf with him and Jeannette Rankin, then handed him Hawaii in the name of "peace in our time."

Trump is not the hero that the MAGA world have been brainwashed into thinking he is. He is being embarrassed by the few competent Republicans who won't stay silent about his madness. Hear @therickwilson.bsky.social discuss on the latest episode of the LP Podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUqw...

Perhaps you saw the Fox News headline that Denver spent $356M on migrants. Our Angeline McCall looked at how the conservative think tank CSI Institute got to that number and why experts think it's inflated. www.9news.com/article/news... #copolitics
