Alex points out that even if Donald Trump isn't able to make good on some of what he's threatening to do, the fear he generates serves his ends regardless.

Here's that great report from Ellison Barber last night showing how things can still be on fire even when it seems like they haven't been burning for hours: youtu.be/EYbrN0Bp5uM

"The blunt truth of it is that we have built our world for a climate that no longer exists." Climate journalist Jeff Goodell talked with Alex last night about how climate disasters are changing the insurance market, and the domino effect that has across the entire economy. youtu.be/vDDpSxgSNI4

Here is @kristygreenberg.bsky.social from this past Friday, before we knew the Trump sentencing would happen, explaining why it's going to be remarkable even though we know Trump isn't going to jail: youtu.be/95eALtLe3uw?...

"Wind gusts between 35 and 50 mph will be common across the advisory area through this evening, then the winds will increase. Wind gusts are expected to increase by about 10-15 mph tonight through Friday morning." forecast.weather.gov/product.php?...

Morgan Chesky, NBC News national correspondent, talked with one man who had five family members who have lost homes in the California fires.

"Winds will remain strong" Ariel Cohen, Los Angeles meteorologist for the National Weather Service, looks ahead at the strong winds that are spreading the catastrophic California fires:

Ariel Cohen, Los Angeles meteorologist for the National Weather Service emphasizes two key points for people in the area of the California fires to stay in a high state of readiness: Have multiple ways to receive information. Take evacuation orders seriously. "Your life depends on it."

"One giant fact-check of lies" @clairecmc.bsky.social on the return of Trump-style press conferences.

When your president has a hang-up about the size of things... youtu.be/fS4Ks1zbW4k?...

. @jahimes.bsky.social makes the case that when Donald Trump says something outrageous to get attention, it's because there's something else going on that he doesn't want to get attention.

However this House speaker vote ends up playing out for Mike Johnson today, squandering the good will of his colleagues across the aisle seems to have been a mistake. @repjasmine.bsky.social makes clear he hasn't left himself much of an option there. youtu.be/IM4jwYTU9F8?...

If Donald Trump seriously wants to negotiate an end to Russia's war on Ukraine, Putin needs a reason to negotiate. Just being buddies with Trump is not going to cut it. @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains why Trump is approaching negotiations with the wrong idea: youtu.be/srHhjRPQJag?...

Alex just replayed this discussion from before the election. Pretty amazing to look back on it now and see the writing on the wall. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fC...

Faiz Shakir explains his theory that the reason co-President Musk suddenly had a problem with the spending bill is that he wanted to deal with the debt limit in Biden's term so they can avoid accountability for Trump's massive spending and tax cuts in the new term. Watch: youtu.be/SfcDitC1cJw?...

"It sure seems like this lawsuit is meant to deter negative information about Donald Trump." @rickhasen.bsky.social gets to the heart of what Donald Trump's Des Moines Register lawsuit is really about. Watch: youtu.be/irJzvMQMywg?...

Here is Alex's full interview with Rep. Sherrill about getting answers on drones: youtu.be/8mklDdi6LxY

After a briefing today, Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) feels better about the federal response to concerns about drones in New Jersey, but she still has some concerns (but aliens aren't one of them).

Among the things that make Kash Patel an odd pick to lead the FBI is his utter contempt for the organization. youtu.be/ZkI-_esqGVs?...

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. That’s the FBI’s motto and it perfectly describes Director Wray. He’s served America faithfully, and I’m thankful for his leadership. He was confirmed nearly unanimously for two major law enforcement jobs and has served our country with honor.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Donald Trump is choosing people to serve in his administration because he saw them on TV.

It is not a great sign when you nominate someone to lead America's intelligence agencies and members of those same intelligence agencies say, Hey, wait a second, maybe you should read the secret files we have on her before you go and do that.

The restoration of the Notre Dame Cathedral is a nice reminder that catastrophes do not last forever, and what's broken can also be fixed.
