I have two gut check questions that I ask myself while reporting: How do I know something is true? and What if I’m wrong?
I feel like we’re about to see the consequences of people in power being wrong about vaccines.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a former CIA officer who criticized Trump, says a class he was set to teach at a military college in South Carolina was canceled, after well-heeled alumni objected.
This could be a model for suppressing anti-Trump dissent.

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

While I'm definitely worried about the negative impacts of the next administration, I'm more worried about the cover-up of the impact data. Recall that Trump did everything he could to hide COVID data.

What would happen if a pro-democracy billionaire like Mark Cuban acquired MSNBC and had MeidasTouch Network operate it and run it as MTN? I am humbled you tagged me in this thought experiment throughout the day, so I have laid out my thoughts on it here open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

One of the best things about Blue Sky is that there are "Starter Packs" for accounts I followed on the dead bird. Kudos for that feature.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky
The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

I don't think any Senator should vote to confirm a Trump nominee if the nominee does not have an FBI background check.
Do you agree?

I do take issue with the #voldemortization of the name, but totally understand if that's your choice!
Personally, I'll be referring to it as "it" from here on out..

There is something deeply amusing about musklings coming here and realizing there’s no algorithm to boost their rage bait, which was their main advantage.

I wonder how long Trump is going to put up with a shadow President…
Ponder this: Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, wasn’t born in the U.S. and can’t run for president—but he bought Donald Trump.

An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.
