The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Two things of note in today's announcement of the 2025 Nobel physics prize (besides the work being honored).

1: The US institutional dominance of the prize continues.
2: 2 of the three laureates are immigrants, drawn here decades ago by the then-unmatched opportunities for science here...

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Vladimir Putin has clearly made a calculation, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: Donald Trump, to use the language he once hurled at Volodymyr Zelensky, has no cards, and his fond wish to be seen as a peacemaker can be safely ignored.

Trump Has No Cards

Why would Putin need to make a deal with him?

Trump: This is somebody nobody else can do. We will get the drug prices down… 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.

I once considered myself conservative. And when I looked at Mike Johnson’s website, I don’t disagree with the principles he lists there. But if you look at what the GOP is actually doing, it becomes clear that they don’t meet their own standards. (Thread)
