In case you missed, it we beat Mike Flynn on Friday when he surrendered in the dark of night on Valentine’s Day after a year and a half of hoping I’d surrender or shut up. I’m not sure a more on brand ending could have been written. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID
1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.
2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”

Musk's "deferred resignation" contract is a TRAP.
Anyone who signs it WAIVES all rights to pursue legal action against the government -- including TO ENFORCE THE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT ITSELF.
So Musk and Trump can just break the contract, and there's nothing you can do.
