Didn’t get everything you wanted for Christmas? These single-digit billionaires can increasingly relate.

I have a book coming out in October about Florida's decades long battle for voting rights for people with felony convictions It's an extremely hopeful but ultimately infuriating saga that I reported for years. Preorder your copy today for Independent Bookshop Day. bookshop.org/p/books/just...

Where is Wikileaks when you really need them?

@ethanjskolnick.bsky.social Bam going to NYC cause A’ja is there. Good morning America appearance this morning.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it? MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Katie Porter would be a great governor for CA. @cbsnews.com is a different place now with agenda. I don’t know anything about Julie Watts politics, she could be a good journalist able to maintain impartiality. But the change in editorial control and ownership at CBS makes me trust them less

Exciting developments in solar. Just read this fascinating FT article on perovskite solar panels – the next-gen innovation that's lighter, more flexible, and up to 20% more efficient than traditional silicon ones. Imagine panels turning everyday surfaces into power generators

No lies detected

@cnn.com ought to stop giving live air time to Trump administration officials. Have them on in taped segments so they aren’t able to filibuster the question and air talking points and faux grievances. It would also allow their correspondents to ask more topical follow up questions.

In this day and age of holocaust denialism and historical forgetfulness it worries me that most don’t see the truth in this statement by Bill. This is absolutely true.

Any state official who receives a call from a Trump administration official needs to record the conversation and release to the media immediately. Sun light and transparency! Let them know they are being recorded. Let them know it’s going to get released.

Paging Susie Wiles Girl this is your chance! Tell your 🍊 boy what to do!

Well, it happened. I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene. There, I said it. I feel like I'm in the Seinfeld "opposite world." FYI, while I get paid by a newspaper when I write a column, I decide what I want to write about and what my position will be. I've never been paid for social media posts.

"'Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life ... Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.'" www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo...

👀 definitely no BDE right there

Admirable display by the armed forces leadership today. Apolitical reactions to the political statements. Respect for the process and institution. Thank you 🙏 🇺🇸 USA Armed Forces 🫡 The only people reacting to SEOD’s applause lines, were political appointees and Pete’s entourage.

The president suffered yet another moment of memory lapse, fueling speculations on his ability to serve.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

“He may need to release the Epstein files to distract people from this (show).” —Jimmy Kimmel

@jimmykimmel.com is a treasure He was so graceful and eloquent. I was saddened to see Disney cave and disappointed in its CEO Bob Iger, a great executive, for not fighting. I think I understand his calculus. But I wanted to see some grit. Heck the Wall st journal didn’t cave. Team Jimmy

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Kamala is making media appearances and pushing the narrative that Biden was problem. He yelled at her, he didn’t invite Elon to the WH, she wanted to pick someone else as her VP It’s pointless and unnecessary She won’t have a political future if she can’t take responsibility and be graceful.

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.

The Hyundai arrests “could significantly impact future direct investment in the U.S.,” said South Korea’s President. South Korean companies “can’t help hesitating a lot” about making new investments .. if their workers are liable to end up in detention ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/sout...

It’s as if a terrible thing occurred in 2016

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

Poor Carl

Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week. newatlas.com/energy/large...

I've been waiting for someone to write a column pointing out the hypocrisy of Ron DeSantis when it comes to prosecutorial discretion and who is allowed to exercise it in the State of Florida. John Hill with The Tampa Bay Times finally did. A Yahoo link gets you around the paywall...

No, they won’t

".. unless Pulte somehow had particular knowledge about issues with Cook's application, which is unlikely, then one has conclude that Pulte handed Fannie and Freddie a list of political enemies and asked for their loan files for review."

And those exact 4 republicans will continue to support republicans in the ballot box The GOP rot has metastasized

SCOTUS under chief justice Roberts has been a disgrace The last fight from a decisive generation that left the world in far worse shape. Baby boomers were awful for the planet and society

It’s all coming together folks

If @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social is critical of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social social media tactics then you know it’s the winning path Bend the knee Joe and kiss the ring Micah would only approve of something if King Donie allowed it @msnbc.com has lost its way

A master.

#jazz #vinyl Weekend pickups. Failed again at staying away from record stores. First 3 are represses or reissues (Dorham Japanese pressing obvs) so weren’t that expensive and all of the records after that were all bargain bin grabs..

@cnn.com loves employing and platforming controversial pundits to garner outrage views Gillian Michaels, Scott Jennings, Kevin O’Leary, Kait Collins, Jeff Lord and even Tucker Carlson It hides behind the concept of fostering conversation when the in reality…the controversy is all they want

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

Heinrich: And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences a few things very unusual. You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. Soil here

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

We fucked you America
