To my American friends,

Tonight, Trump is not doing a State of the Union. This is a joint session address that addresses the direction he is going and why.

The State of the Union addresses the results of a president's policies. Putin will do that next year. #uspoli

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Do you fly in airplanes? Drive on highways? File taxes? Have kids or elderly parents? Go to the doctor? Prefer not to be poisoned by toxic chemicals? Then you rely on the government services that Musk is hobbling. It is tragic that many Americans won’t realize this until those services are killed.

I've heard Trump tell the "Raizin" Caine story numerous times. It's incredibly telling about how he sees the military.

Trump on DOGE: We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But we’re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.

Highly recommend treating yourself to a subscription to The Atlantic. Many excellent and thoughtful writers on staff -- I especially like Tom Nichols!
One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise.

literally no other journalist should be going to these in basic solidarity with the AP at this point.
For a third straight day, an AP reporter was blocked from attending an Oval Office event, I'm told.

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.
