Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Updating my LEGO White House

Not to be cringe, but I'm surprised I am emotional seeing the East Wing demolition. My first job in DC was interning and going to meetings there regularly. I learned everything about it while giving guided tours. The beauty of the East Wing is that everyone can go there. It's America's house.

Two things are almost certainly about to happen in Q4. First, a massive drop in car sales. Everyone who was looking at an EV and had the ability to buy one rushed out to get it before the $7,500 credit disappeared. Even more importantly, the carbon credits Tesla sells are toast 🧵 #teslatakedown

This is real life: as thousands of federal workers are going unpaid, a ballroom is being built in the White House and the president wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Even Marie Antoinette would find that to be a bit much.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Derek plus Chotiner could destroy the world if they chose.

I'll go one farther. The idea that the middle class is somehow distinct from the "working class" is nonsense fed to us by billionaires to split solidarity. There is a ruling class and there's everyone else. If you're not in the ruling class, we're in it together.

Sick of living in an obscenely wealthy country utterly incapable of strategically investing its capital for pro-social gains. blog.erlend.sh/saving-democ... ..in which I argue that Norway should invest in the AT protocol and network, by whichever means necessary.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool: — New outerwear at Husbands Paris and Auter — New knits at Buck Mason and HE Sports — Patek 2552 and Ed White Speedy at Wind Vintage; Patek 3448 at Sothebys; Vacheron 4072 at Menta Watches — Italian donkeys carrying baby lambs in a special jacket

So a few months ago, we detailed how immigration agents were breaking car windows to grab the people inside. Well, it turns out one agent just did that *with his gun* and mistakenly shot the person inside and a U.S. marshal. www.cnn.com/2025/10/21/u...

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

🤔 Interaction between HuffPost and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster

I am now ready with a take: It is good when negative things about candidates come out before people vote rather than after they vote.

Hey, Philadelphia! There are only 9 tickets left for The Last Class at Cinemark University City Penn 6! Come show up for this special one-night screening on 10/22: gathr.com/e/91909d30

Nobody will ever be able to take away from me that my class persuaded @annabower.bsky.social to become a journalist.

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

Kind of amazing to think about how different the world might be today if PayPal had just... failed early on and shut down. You can trace so much nonsense today back to PayPal getting bailed out by eBay.

Subtle metaphor for America.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

Rachel Maddow’s documentary on Andrew Young is very good, can recommend. Essential history for the present crisis.

i hate that tryhard became a slur. all i wanna do is be around and work with and get inspired by people who put genuine effort into things they believe in. fiercely

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

On the day of “No Kings” protests across the country, look to the history of South African disobedience against apartheid. When they try to silence you with repression, reply with more people, louder voices, undeterred steps. #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Looks like the Russians like his Russia tie. It’s not red-white-blue either. It’s red-blue-white. Like the Russian flag. For a meeting with Zelensky.

Rep. Madeleine Dean reads out the litany of grievances enumerated 250 years ago in the Declaration of Independence, including most especially, "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? A beautiful day to resist.

Berlin is asking the right questions.

We US citizens still—barely—have freedom of speech and the ability to dissent in this country. Use it. So many people and institutions are tempering or silencing themselves in advance. You don’t beat fascists by being afraid to offend them and their ostensibly liberal collaborators.

Tonight’s clear winner was @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He won because he's the only candidate with a plan, with a vision, and with a focus on the working New Yorkers who built this city and deserve to live here with dignity. 19 days. Let’s do this!

Hats off to Ron Conway. I’d love to see more of this in the tech community. Call them out, walk away, don’t pretend they said something remotely acceptable.

Honestly Zohran could probably raise millions in a PPV model of handing Ackman his ass

The only thing that anyone ever needs to know about Bill Ackman is that he once joined a group of avid long distance bikers from NYC to Montauk and back without training or preparation, arrogant in his ability to "lead the pack" and ended up screaming in agony

Your reminder that the local paper partly exposed George Santos weeks before the election, and the journos who worked for bigger news outlets paid no attention.

This government suffers from severe loser stench. Everything they say and do is a barely veiled form of "I'm the BOSS and you have to RESPECT ME!" and nobody does. Millions of people are going outside tomorrow just to say so

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...
