Great interview of TPM's @joshtpm.bsky.social and @kateriga.bsky.social by @hcrichardson.bsky.social Regarding the question of how people could find TPM in the early days, in my case, it was from a NYT column by now substacker @pkrugman.bsky.social.

North Korea may have earned up to $13 billion from Russia’s war against Ukraine - arms and missile supplies, as well as the deployment of North Korean troops, have reportedly brought Kim Jong Un’s regime an amount comparable to nearly the country’s annual GDP. Key estimates of the revenue:

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

My view is that the American South never fully took to liberal democracy. And I think we have to reckon with that to face the moment we’re now in. I wrote about it for @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/liberal-de...

"In some ways, Péter Magyar was simply the right man at the right moment. In most ways, however, he was the man who made moments, manufacturing possibilities where none existed."

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

Maybe he should go run Germany. We can crowd fund a bunker.

Indeed. I hope Rudy doesn't die too quickly so reporters can start asking "when will the President visit Rudy Giuliani" while documenting his golf outings.

Wow! I'm speechless. I cancelled my NYT subscription years ago but they have a way to still get under my skin and make my jaw drop. Will it get you in trouble if I send money from Canada?

www.nbcnews.com/world/europe... Oh! FFS, why does any news outlet let Republicans pretend that Trump doesn't already know what message he's sending to Putin? How many times does he have to repeat that same message for our precious stenographers to get a clue?

Why do the Russians even care what happens to InfoWars? Unless... hold on... HOLD ON

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Remember not long ago Alito said you couldn't make changes on the "eve" of an election when it was like a year away. Now an election has already started but suddenly that doctrine doesn't apply. #CorruptCourt #CriminalAlito talkingpointsmemo.com/news/republi...

More Thoughts on the Court’s Dire Corruption and the Necessity of Reform talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/more-...

"The Court’s abuses of power now extend to ANY LAW that would limit their goal of remaking the country by corrupt means. So it all comes back to Court reform. "

Putin's troubles in Ukraine are rippling to Mali, where his "Africa Corps" leaves nominal allies out to dry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bTR...

Schools are also at risk. Anything that resembles normal life is a target of this regime and could be destroyed. The schools we visited were also in undisclosed location, hoping the secrecy will protect the children. But even here their safety is never guaranteed.

What I found especially shocking was the obvious and deliberate targeting of hospitals in resistance-held territories. I visisted a number of facilities, and all had been bombed out of service by the junta. All the deny people living here any kind of medical care.

Constitutional calvinball.

Seth Moulton just GRILLED Pete Hegseth on his disastrous campaign in Iran. This is what real accountability looks like.

And that's just the direct cost. For the purposes of a strategic defeat. The indirect economic losses will be massive and will never be accounted for. I guess the GOP will bring back Benghazi-style hearings any day now, right?

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

"After the comedian Seth Rogen made anti-Trump jokes at an event last year, Ms. Gilbert-Soto was incensed and complained to other guests, one attendee said. She declined an interview request." Not sure about the health of her gut, but her brain is seriously rotten. What a sad life for a billionaire.

Boom.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Each point of this Thiel manifesto is sophistry. #4: starting with "soft power is NOT ENOUGH", then pretending that means "it's OF NO USE". Too bad what we're seeing in real time isn't the limit of soft power (now destroyed thx to Thiel), but limit of hard power itself. "Software" the solution?🤣🤡

I'm working on a post on how SPLC indictment works legally b4 I do one abt how it works as content (to feed the trolls). But just a hint of how it IS feeding trolls, see how zillionaire who 1) replatformed Nazis & 2) allowed them to monetize on Xitter pretends to be horrified abt paying Nazis.

Correction: The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Republicans. And evidently, voters are not happy about it. That's why they turned out to vote "Yes" on Virginia's counter plan — to protect their own voices as Trump tries to drown them out. https://bit.ly/4mJbgQh

They think you're stupid.

Hi All, @timothysnyder.bsky.social and I did a Substack Live a little while ago. We covered Russia-Ukraine, US-Iran, and how Trump connects everything between them. Also, a shout out from both of us for Come Back Alive. Have a listen open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

In retrospects, it seems that my initial doubts about Mark Carney's political acumen and leadership were misplaced.

Kremlin talk about "European collapse" makes me wonder about the next migration crisis they might try to engineer. Vance hinted at it in his 2025 Munich speech: elect far-right populists or risk invasion by millions of migrants. Are Trump and Netanyahoo setting up the stage as we speak?

Schubert's Hungarian Melody, played by Andras Schiff, who has been refusing to return to his native Hungary under Orban (out of principle, and also b/c pro-regime elements were threatening to break his hands if he returned). www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm39...

Bannon referred to Orban as "Trump before Trump." Well, Orban is gone. MAGA is next.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

😮🇭🇺🗳️ THIS IS MASSIVE. Hungary’s parliamentary election turnout hit 74.23% by 5pm (62.92% at this point in 2022; final: 70.21%). Opposition stronghold Budapest is at 77.18%, big cities 75.55%. Final turnout is set to exceed 80% – unprecedented. Polls close at 7pm CET.

The Navy SEAL medic whose testimony helped Eddie Gallagher walk free in his war crimes case has recently joined a neo-Nazi group. We've obtained secret documents detailing his October interview with the group. We also uncovered his racist and antisemitic X account.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Marcy demonstrates how Haberman and Swan's latest "deeply sourced" story disappears such crucial and previously reported elements of the Iran negotiations and war planning process that it completely destroys their own logic and Trump/Vance/Kushner-friendly narrative. Another access journo crime.

Remember this Trump post, where he lied abt Dan Caine's warnings about invading Iran, and also claimed he wanted a deal that his stupid son-in-law and stupid developer buddy were too stupid to make? It was a response to Axios (Ravid/Caputo) and WaPo stories. www.axios.com/2026/02/23/i...

Israeli aircraft reportedly sprayed glyphosate over border farmlands in southern Lebanon & Syria’s Quneitra in Jan–Feb ‘26. Lebanese tests & UNIFIL samples found concentrations 20–30x above normal, killing crops. Israel said it is to deny militants cover. UN warned of humanitarian/environmental harm

www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMZD... So much great content on @pkrugman.bsky.social 's YouTube channel. This one about history busts a lot of myths around what/when/where/why was the Renaissance, if there was even such a thing.

Notices of new funding opportunities (NOFOs) are down by 90%. As of March 3, the #NIH gave out 74% fewer new awards than the avg for the same period in 2021-2024. Only 2 grants have been awarded from the National Cancer Institute since Oct 2025. A pattern emerges. 🧪 archive.today/5hBFV

This man did far more fighting for the US than anyone in the cabinet or the White House. And he died one day after being taken to an American concentration camp. One day. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
