And wish people Merry Christmas (which I could always do anyways)

The President of the United States repeatedly lying about American citizens and trying to lock them up in a pathetic attempt to cover up a botched renovation of the Reflection Pool that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars should be a much bigger story in the news.

Former Gen. Chris Donahue explains what happens when competence becomes politically disqualifying

"There is one national security bureaucracy I would gladly see abolished, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)." Not *because* of Tulsi Gabbard - but her tenure illustrates why. New from @johnsipher.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/tulsi-gabb...

Even if the US and Iran reach a permanent peace deal that reopens the Strait of Hormuz, inflation isn’t going away anytime soon.

Some of Orbán's defenders -- some -- are willing to cop to his corruption. But that's not the worst thing about him. It's his alliance with Putin, against the Ukrainians. Russia is assaulting a neighbor, in an attempt to subjugate it. This is the side of evil. Cop to *that*.

This is a Ukrainian boy, Bohdan. He will forever be eight years old. Yesterday, a Russian drone killed Bohdan as he was playing on a playground in Cherkasy. Bohdan sang in the church choir. Deepest condolences... Russian terrorism must be stopped.

1/6/21, 10:58 am ET: Proud Boy members are seen heading towards the Capitol with one member saying, “We’re taking back our Country.”

1/6/21, 8:17 am ET: President Trump tweets allegations of voter fraud ahead of DC Rally.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Seems like someone should write a book about this a.co/d/ce5twlZ

Congressional Republicans "have abdicated their responsibilities under the Constitution. They're not doing their jobs....There are 23 million Americans who on November 1 are gonna get punched in the face with a skyrocketing healthcare bill." @captmarkkelly.bsky.social joins @samsteindc.bsky.social:

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The Groyper Wars

They are purging all the transcripts.

Spotted in Kansas City, Missouri: Patriot Front—a white nationalist hate group—holding its annual Memorial Day march in front of the national WWI museum and memorial. They wore masks, carried shields and flags.

The U.S. has—had—one of the top intelligence operations in the world. What a resource to make informed decisions. Yet we have an ignorant WH occupant who relies on fringe conspiracists to spread false information. What a danger. What an embarrassment. What a tragedy.

Trump's State Dept collects data on alleged critics, with the intention of smearing them www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

International students make America stronger: "About 25 percent of billion-dollar startup companies in the US have a founder who" initially came here as one. And because they pay high dollar, they may enable universities to keep prices lower for in-state students. [Kayla Susalla, @cato.org]

"Donald Trump’s erratic and foolish actions have turned the most desirable financial haven in the world into a whirlpool of risk. The safest way to conduct business now is to avoid the United States to the greatest extent possible."

"We are trapped in a constitutional order that no longer functions because the character of the American people has become so degenerated."

My new Capitolism @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social throws cold water on the oft-repeated claim that Trump's tariffs have induced a US investment boom. If anything, in fact, the uncertainty, higher costs, & foreign retaliation are causing the opposite:

"Angry, disappointed, frustrated"--Scientists were making progress on vaccines and antivirals for the next pandemic--until this week, when the Trump administration abruptly told them to stop. Here's my story with @apoorvanyt.bsky.social Gift link: nyti.ms/43Xz77q

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth​, are being silenced this weekend. open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/...

“America is deeply unprofitable” it’s a country not a B2B startup you fucking dweeb

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world.

This is where intelligence comes into play.

"Kash Patel reportedly declined to name the choir’s members when asked by the press. We now know why: The choir includes violent rioters who assaulted law enforcement officers on January 6th." NEW from @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social and @normeisen.bsky.social:

RFK petitioned the FDA to revoke authorization of the COVID vaccines in early 2021. If he is confirmed as head of HHS, he will put so many lives under threat with moves like this.

What a surprise!

"What I’m trying to say is that if you want a safe and functional road, guardrails are only part of the solution. The rest of it is stuff like maintenance, adherence to the law, and upholding a very basic sense of human decency."

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Now that Ukraine has become very active in the Kursk region, we would like everyone that hasn't found us on BlueSky, to be aware of the latest updates. Therefore, we would like to ask you to share this post in order to reach as many people as possible. Let's aim for 75.000 followers 👍
