I had a great convo with @jimacosta.bsky.social today!

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

That is in fact what this administration has done.

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Killer crab! 🦀

And of course one must assume that the Chinese and Russians as well as the Qataris will have bugged that plane to within an inch of its life.

An electorate who thinks it’s OK to vote for a man who has zero interest in public service but just exploiting public office to enrich himself is a broken electorate.

Why Walking Helps Us Think Since at least the time of Greek philosophers, many writers have discovered a deep, intuitive connection between walking, thinking, and writing.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Like Pritzker's approach to this more and more!

My Brain Finally Broke Much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. More and more of the world is slipping beyond my comprehension.

Much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. Jia Tolentino writes about how more and more of the world is slipping beyond comprehension.

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems.

Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it.

Hello?

The Astonishing Threat to Suspend Habeas Corpus The Trump Administration is stepping up its war on the rule of law. Is this bluster aimed at intimidating judges, or the start of something worse?

In the Trump Administration’s view, the only good court is a compliant court. “That is not the way the Constitution works,” Ruth Marcus writes.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.

In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.

So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

So many layers of corruption.

One Hundred Years of New York Movies Ten lesser known films from the past century have captured the city just as indelibly as modern classics by the likes of Martin Scorsese or Spike Lee.

Why is the paper that brought down Richard Nixon struggling to survive the second term of Donald Trump? @claremalone.bsky.social reports on changes afoot at the Washington Post.

Congress should be speaking out about this every single day

This administration is becoming the tool of the Persian Gulf autocracies...they do not give without expecting in return...

New on MSNBC: NBC News confirms: The Trump admin is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar as a gift to be used by Trump as the new Air Force One. It might be the largest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government.

How Can Love and Kindness Make a Difference? A Saturday Prompt before Mother’s Day

“Over my many years in politics and business, I have found one thing to be universally true: The kindest person in the room is often the smartest.”

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

On lies. From the @profgalloway.com podcast

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.
