I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

OK, its not a question of whether the phone is compromised. If you are the spy chief of a major country's intelligence service and your people have not compromised this phone, you should resign and find some other line of work

Congratulations to all the people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d be good for the economy
A new high: 62% chance of a recession this year. For no reason. A self-inflicted wound.

Basically Trump is Cheddar Bob waving a gun around and shooting himself in the ****.

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is down. A SpaceX rocket went down.

Prices are up. Inflation is up.

Maybe Elon Musk… isn’t the best at this?

The thing about delaying auto tariffs a month is that, guess what, you're still going to be dealing with the Canadian/Mexican response, and both have significant leverage. Also: delaying a month does nothing to solve the problem of totally integrated supply chains.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

The irony of claiming fear about measles and TB from those seeking asylum while appointing an anti science anti vaccine grifter to HHS is just too much. Fucking post truth world.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.
