Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

Keith Richards, pictured here in 1140 CE is a timeless Brit.

I've been driving all over VA the last couple of days, and I have seen almost no trump signs. A few to voting NO to redistricting, but it's been surprising to the least.

A reminder:

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Make this make sense.

When asked by the EU about defending the principles of the UN charter, Ms Bachelet mentioned that this would be her priority — and it would be of high importance to ensure that the member states do also agree to defend the same principles and acting accordingly.

I’m at the hearings for the four UNSG candidates. In her opening statement alone, Michelle Bachelet spoke to the challenges facing the world in a way that was both direct and compassionate, presenting a vision of the United Nations as a home for dialogue. The full write-up will be sent out tonight.

True repentance isn't simply saying "i'm sorry". It requires deep, honest self-examination, humility and making ammends for the harm you've caused. It requires you to re-evaluate your choices and a willingnss to address the shortcomings that lead you to your actions. "Oops" doeesn't cut it.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
