The official White House website now includes a list of people from around the world who have offended Donald Trump. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get on that list.

If Trump does go through with his threatened invasion of Venezuela without Congressional approval, that should absolutely be grounds for immediate impeachment proceedings.
We would need mass, popular mobilization calling for his removal from office. It has to be a red line.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.
This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

"They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

One of the first things they did 10 months ago was to get rid of the JAGs who would have told officers and enlisted personnel that the orders were illegal.
They've been planning this all along. It's premeditated murder.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.
That should be a major story and talking point.
They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

Trump’s treasonous “peace” plan for Ukraine is the Mariupol plan 2.0. It neuters Ukraine and calls for NATO to prostrate itself before Russia. It fully aligns the US with Russia both politically and economically. It’s the wholesale surrender of Ukraine, NATO and the US to Russia. That’s 3X treason.

Here's what worries the Fed (and me!): The unemployment rate is slowly drifting up. This is a clear sign of an unhealthy economy. And it's happening slowly enough that it hasn't attracted many headlines. But it really matters.

From Letters From An American:
“When a female Bloomberg reporter at a press gaggle aboard Air Force One November 14 asked [Trump] if there was anything ‘incriminating’ in the Epstein files, he pointed a finger in her face and said: ‘Quiet! Quiet, Piggy.’”
