@kenjennings.bsky.social Really proud of the way you took this franchise in a tough time and somehow made it even better. Having someone up there likely to actually KNOW the questions ups the ante. Continues to be the daily must-watch.

Trump. Is. Insane.

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what it can do TO you

“the full wrath of the US Justice System” no. Our justice system is supposed to be dispassionate, clinical, and rules-based. Pam Bondi (and this entire admin) never understood her job.

Colleges make $$$ licensing patents from research. Why isn’t there an NIL for academic superstars?

What they call “Trump derangement syndrome” is in reality a normal person’s response to actual derangement.

So the US BEA, under Trump’s executive branch, says Q3 GDP surged 4.3%. Remember what they did the the BLS head when they published bad numbers? Does anyone really believe, that with tariffs in place, layoffs galore, that GDP growth went up at all?? How can you make decisions on this?

“Government silence is a statement, not a VETO.” Bari Weiss should resign in disgrace. She is to journalism what Benedict Arnold was to the Continental Army.

“The details in the report are troubling. Private payrolls for hashtag#small businesses (with less than 50 employees) declined by 120,000 jobs. This was the largest decline since May 2020. In other words, small businesses are in the midst of a recession akin to the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Trump’s father should’ve gone back to Germany and “fixed it”. Disgusting.

Arrest Hegseth for murder. Make Trump pardon him.

The killing was legal. And if it wasn’t, it was Admiral’s the one who ordered if. These people are pathetic. Our GOP Congress is even MORE pathetic for not holding them to account.

Putin now says that the proposal (which was based on his wish list) is a starting point for further negotiations. Surprise, surprise. Trump- the fart of the deal.

So if Xwitter has known country of origin for all these US-focused political accounts, 1) why allow it and 2) why open it up NOW? (I mean better late than never but still.)

Powell’s report- GDP growth much less than a year ago. This year will be 1.6%, next year will be 1.8%, maybe. Inflation…up. (Thanks tariffs). Employment…down. So of course it’s all Biden’s fault. Right? SMH

Report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas: Layoffs are the highest they’ve been in TWENTY YEARS. This is Trump’s economy. www.challengergray.com/blog/october...

Ok you Dem winners…. Now don’t go screwing it up for ‘26. And hey GOP congressfolk- you see those lights waaaay down the tracks? Think it’s time you got off the tracks.

Polls had @mikiesherrill.bsky.social with a tight race in NJ, right up to the end. She’s going to win by nearly 14%. That’s not a tight race. Can we please stop with the polls? They are always, ALWAYS WRONG.

VA with an Attorney General that will defend it from Trump

In NJ, EVERY SINGLE COUNTY shifted to the Democrats. That is astounding.

Xi is showing Trump just how stupid he really is, and how power is used to its greatest effect. Unfortunately we’re going to bear the brunt of the lesson.

Why does Qatar need an Air Force facility…in Idaho?

1/ I joined this platform to talk about technical stuff related to my career, along with a lot of like-minded folks who wanted off X because it became a hate-filled right-wing dumpster fire. But this is now the last real platform of independent thought. With Apple taking down apps that the..

So much for the 1st amendment. Hohn should take a page from the right-wing playbook and create a super-pac of dark money to send to these groups.

www.ft.com/content/b87f... The Trump admin is going after charities that promote DEI, calling them “terrorist orgs” and threatening their tax-exempt status. So much for the 1st amendment.

More violence against judges who rule against Trump. time.com/7323442/sout...

Y’know there’s a point here.

The Doha strike is a strategic mistake on Israel’s part. It puts this particular US admin in a position where it must take sides between economic interests and geopol strategic interests and I don’t believe that’s going to end how the Israeli’s have calculated, given how this admin has behaved.

I think it is easier to talk a Progressive out of damaging policy than it is to talk a MAGAite out of one. For the MAGAite, damage is the desired outcome.

Robinhood is bullshit. I got ONE share of Figma in the IPO. I wanted 200. WTAF

So now that FB and X produce AI created content, in FB’s case on AI-run accounts, how are they still entitled to Section 230 exemptions from lawsuits? They are no longer “passive” platforms hosting others’ views. They’re now overtly active participants.

Musk’s latest antics with Grok should worry anyone using or thinking of using any product or service where he’s the ultimate decision maker. You never know what’s going to be in your next OTA update.

Trump putting 50% tariffs on Brazil for personal political reasons HAS to be something that Congress or the court must stop. Whether Bolsonaro is being “witch hunted” or not is none of Trump’s business and it shouldn’t impact American consumers and businesses.

So GOP- Trump will primary you if you DON’T vote for the big ugly bill, and Musk just said HE will sponsor a primary against you if you DO. Sucks to be YOU, doesn’t it. Good. You all deserve it.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself. Ever

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

So if you haven’t noticed- Facebook has started polluting your “people you may know” with people you may know OF- ie major and minor celebrities and artists. They are getting SO DESPERATE for more engagement. It’s a huge social Ponzi scheme that’s about to burst.

Someone should remind ICE and DHS folks that the statute of limitations takes them past the point where Trump can pardon them. Following an illegal order is still illegal.

He’s banning Haitians? For threats of terrorism??? Find ONE instance. I’ll wait. The blatant racism with these people must be dealt with.

It’s amazing that people who Trump vilified on UnTruth Social, like Leonard Leo, respond with nothing but sycophantic praise for him. Perhaps they know that one prostration is all it takes to get on his good side again. It’s a true Idiocracy.

Proposal: 1) US Gov takes a 15-20% ownership in all public companies (and perhaps private ones), and eliminate corp tax. 2) Their preferred shares take that percentage of profit (before tax and depreciation), and they have voting power. /1

Jodi Ernst’s “Let them eat cake” moment.

SO true, just sayin’ 💥😊😎🍀

CPAC is an overt international conspiracy that is working to undermine and overturn democratic governments around the world. It should be labeled a terrorist organization and handled accordingly.

Supreme Court’s gonna have to put in some overtime this year.

Voters in US States need the ability to call for a snap election for their Congressional delegation. 2 years used to be too short a period for lasting damage. Not the case anymore.

Being Speaker of the House is apparently not Mike Johnson’s “Lane”.
