A brief thought on my Blue Sky experience: this is not Twitter. Early Twitter was gloriously chaotic and often wonderful. X is an obvious dumpster fire. But the vibe here is focused and deliberately kind. I hope we can keep it this way.

So Maduro has pled not guilty. How will Trump’s DOJ, with a history of botched prosecutions, manage this case? If Maduro isn’t convicted, what next? Stay tuned for the next episode of Anything But Epstein.

2025, we know it wasn’t really your fault, but we were happy to see the last of you. 2026, we will work with you to realize your full potential. Now let’s get out there and save democracy!

Here is my symbol of 2025. This defiant coalition of snow, mud, grass, sticks and two mismatched gloves is not your classic snowman. But those who say he’s not pure or white enough fail to understand his power. He endures though all the snow around him has melted. And he is all of us.

So the Trump administration announced they are eliminating tariffs on coffee, bananas and beef from Ecuador, Argentina, El Salvador and Guatemala. Bessent said this will “bring prices down very quickly.” AN ADMISSION THAT TARIFFS ARE TAXES on the American consumer. But we knew that…

A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile removed by employer Indiana University, & had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

An article from the WSJ: The unintended consequences of Trump’s firing spree. It talked reduced services in national parks and services to veterans. But none of this is unintended! The resulting losses in education, consumer protection, scientific research, etc. are a feature, not a bug.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

So we’ve reached the moment where that junk heap of a man, RFK, sits in his confirmation hearing pretending he doesn’t oppose the measles vaccine. He wrote an entire about expounding his opposition, but that was then and this is now. A corrupt hypocrite.
