South Korea’s industry minister says the US signaled it will refrain from raising tariffs on Korean goods if Seoul swiftly passes draft legislation aimed at facilitating investment in the US.
“Some blame Russia for the US downfall, some blame Israel, but it was always both — along with American collaborators and assorted global operatives”
Tomorrow night.
Looking forward to chopping it up with my old friend, Stephen Colbert on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social.
Needless to say, LOTS to talk about!
(I hope the FCC doesn’t shut us down🤞)🎙️🇺🇸
Country Joe, RIP. This is where you and I both came in. One, two, three, four, what are we fighting for? Five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates, well, there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopee! we're all going to die www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W7-...
Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.
Can we just send Congress home and stop paying their salaries? They’re not doing anything anyhow!
Malignant narcissists are really nasty characters who delight in hurting others.
"The fact that there were only four countries with confirmed US ambassadors - out of the 14 countries told to evacuate American citizens after the war began - tells you all you need to know about this administration’s incompetence and lack of professionalism."

In case you missed anything, here are all of the past week’s columns from Civil Discourse, collected in one place.

When you listen to Sarah Kendzior, the puzzle pieces align and all the confusion and chaos of Trump, and a Congress that does nothing to rein him in, suddenly make sense.
Not that you won’t be less scared, but your fear will at least be better informed 😬

"A 2022 poll found that nearly 70% of Republican voters believed aspects of the Great Replacement Theory. Now that it's become a centerpiece of Trump administration messaging and saturates right wing media, I suspect that 70% number from 2022 has only gone up."
Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show
Dirty secret corporate media won’t discuss: US is reason Iran’s democracy ended and Ayatollah came to power. My new article is a reminder Iran had democracy but US ended that in 1953 to install a pro-Western, pro-Big Oil dictator. Same as Trump wants now deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dirty-secr...
Hey I did a fun thing with @warren.senate.gov about breaking up giant healthcare conglomerates
Sounds familiar.
President Donald Trump repeatedly said the 2015 nuclear deal he pulled out of gave Iran the right to secure nuclear weapons. @politifact.bsky.social rated the statement False. https://to.pbs.org/4ld3nlk
A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.
Thank you! I’ve been trying to get somebody to talk about this for days.
ICYMI.
The US also conducted combat ops in ECUADOR this week.
"We hosted that Iranian ship. They disarmed for our naval exercise. Then America attacked."
India's ex-FM just exposed the setup.
The UK stays silent when our "allies" pull stunts like this.
"Maria was working with a shelter program to house fifty unhoused families at one of the Motel 6 properties she managed, she told me." Now that she's been deported, they might be out of a home.

When the U.S. ignited a war with Iran, airspace closures left thousands of Americans stranded. https://to.pbs.org/4bukz2s
Inserting a love letter to Trump in an otherwise good sentiment is just embarrassing. We must recognize the role of billion dollar agricultural companies sucking up the Great Salt Lake for a quick buck, and under no circumstances must we "hand it to" Donald Trump.
They have a long old list that they’re just going down checking off boxes one by one.
We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.
