@radiofreetom.bsky.social what would happen in China embargoed rare earth mineral sales until US stopped their actions in Iran? Would that push Trump?

My latest crime novel (for now, only available in German) makes another best crime list in Germany, calling the novel "clever and ruthless."

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social The messaging Dems should be using about tariffs is that Trump stole over $100 billion from Americans with his illegal tariffs, and now is going to steal billions more with illegal tariffs.

Rep. Jesús García comes out swinging: "You're one of the worst attorney generals in our history and an instrument of Donald Trump's lawless authoritarian agenda, and I'm glad the American people are seeing who you are."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I have a new Mike Stone PI in hell story in the latest Black Cat Weekly. blackcatweekly.com/b/DHl0j

In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life. Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

Gotta credit the President for his extraordinary efficiency. How many past Presidents have managed to start AND end a trade war within four days?

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Julius Katz gets nominated!

"I've been shaken by not just the horror of Renee Good’s killing but the cruel and soulless rush to paint her as evil and unworthy of our sympathy or understanding." www.thebulwark.com/p/why-renee-...

we haven't really been in that business for about 130 years. and they've been a pretty good 130 years. and we've got plenty of stuff now, however we might have acquired it. also acquiring Greenland is wildly absurd. so basically stfu

Every time someone says "well, it's not an absurd idea," they're normalizing an absurd idea. We have everything we want from Greenland, and Trump isn't thinking about strategy, he's thinking about vanity and conquest.

My latest substack post: It's only Fiction davezeltserman.substack.com/p/its-fiction

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

Here's the deal: Trump, you can have all 3 of these awards, plus my prized issue of Mad Comics #13 if you just resign and leave us all the fuck alone!

I’m in love with him.👇

Always nice to see someone calling one of my books a gem (underrated or not!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkVl...

Insanity. This shit has to stop.

I think even @radiofreetom.bsky.social would agree that this post by Heather Cox Richard regarding fascism should be a wakeup call for all Americans. What she warns about is exactly Trump's playbook. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-9-...

Trump is running a world-wide extortion racket. Tariffs, domestic extortion, and now with the military in Venezuela. He doesn't care what type of regime ends up in Venezuela; all he cares about is extorting some oil from them. He'll keep threatening military operations until he gets his cut.

How long will it take for the morally bankrupt JD Vance to divorce his wife and disown his kids to appease Nick Fuentes?

So, not a bonus. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, who are in this case the same person

If you hadn't read Shelley's Frankenstein, I guess it's possible you might like Del Toro's heavy-handed, cartoonish adaptation, but if you have read it, I'd have to think you'd find the movie utter crap.

I see that my publisher has my horror novel The Caretaker of Lorne Field, which ALA shortlisted for best of the year when it came out and could be a movie in 2026, is on sale for $1.99 www.amazon.com/Caretaker-Lo...

The GOP's breathtaking hypocrisy is on full display today when they released a report that all of Biden's executive orders and pardons should be voided because an autopen was used and Biden had no idea of any of it.

@justinwolfers.bsky.social do you trust the inflation numbers put out today?

Maybe if the media listed the stupid things Trump says every day, we wouldn't have this moron wrecking our country right now.

We need more of this, and from more people. Rolling your eyes as if to say "We all know how they are" (or worse, "Don't get distracted") has been a big strategic mistake. Democratic politicians have to meet the brutality of MAGA rhetoric with outrage--and then, when necessary, match it.

At the core of my thriller Trust Nothing (release date Nov. 12th), there's a conspiracy to use an advanced technology to put an unfit demagogue as president. As it turns out, low-tech (social media) with a shameless huckster was all that was needed. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTRQZF5K
