Everyone should watch this. Thanks to our friends in France for putting it in plain English in a way that seemingly no American broadcaster can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k35P...

Someone explain to me how every other U.S. Attorney who skirted the statutory process is illegitimate and gone, but Pirro, who also skirted the same statutory process, is fine and still around.
Two federal judges have told me to mind my own business even though it's her name on papers in my cases.

Wild reporting from Bloomberg. Jeanine Pirro apparently freelanced the subpoenas and criminal investigation of Jerome Powell.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

All the talk of "balance" in journalism produced a culture where constant sane-washing of the right isn't just allowed, it's expected and required.
The news outlets that have so far covered this have omitted the description of the GoFundMe from the creator himself: "The stupid cunts wanna make a go fund me for the stupod bitch that got what she deserved i made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money." /

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

How to build a radically truthful news outlet

-Attack Fed independence
-Flirt w/ debasing the dollar
-Muse abt debt default
-Halt fin’l regs
-Destroy the rule of law
-Further juice a bubble
-Widen the deficit & jack up nat’l debt
Without causing a major financial crash.
Not predicting when but this is unsustainable.

Trump is doing to politics what biz schools taught future CEOs to do: break the social contract (e.g., the one btw mgmt & labor that once ensured steady jobs) & extract all the value stored inside.
This will have the same effect on politics as it did on the labor mkt: instability & immiseration.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

Feels like one of the biggest issues with the Trump administration is that they don’t mind pain being inflicted on the US, lines up well with the president’s goal of making America weak for his Russian benefactors.
The Trump administration is clearly betting that Europe won’t shed blood for Greenland without realizing that Europe can inflict a lot of pain on the U.S. in other ways.
The Telegraph reports that Europeans expect Trump to disapprove a large deployment of military forces by NATO to Greenland, and is preparing for a severe deterioration of Atlantic relations as a result.

American citizens and our allies need to understand that America was already attacked & lost.
Why would foreign adversaries send bombs when they can install a puppet president who destroys the country and our allies from within?
Trump continues to deliver for Putin.

Masses are now marching through Tehran. Preliminary reports indicate the Iranian Tax Administration building is on fire.
Across multiple cities, disturbing updates are pouring in, wounded and killed numbers are rising fast. The regime is throwing everything it has at suppressing the uprising.

Thank you to @adamserwer.bsky.social for making the excellent point on @chrislhayes.bsky.social that the burden has been implicitly reversed by the Trump Administration.
The burden is not on citizens to act to preserve their own lives as agents of the state have complete freedom to kill.
