As you read the House Ethics report about Gaetz, always keep in mind that Donald Trump believed that Gaetz was the most qualified person in America to be the chief law enforcement official in the United States.

This time Trump won by ~1.5 points because voters wrongly believed that he can reduce grocery prices, and is claiming a mandate for trade wars and mass deportations. This also won't go well, although I worry that vote suppression may blunt the political impact 2/

Very much this, from Dan Drezner. He focuses a lot on universities, but rightly so. U.S. educational, scientific and technological preeminence are closely linked — and all have a lot to do with the past openness of our society 1/ open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

It’s wild that there are still people out there who think Elon actually cares about the truth, and that this DOGE department will be anything but an excuse for unfathomable corruption.

One of the New York Times’ clearest tells is that it has multiple reporters whose bio lines say they cover free speech issues, but the paper never once reported that Donald Trump threatened to fine and imprison people for criticizing the Supreme Court.

I love that the 53-year-old richest man in the world regularly has his mother on TV saying he's a very special boy and everyone should be nice to him
Elon's mom is on Fox buttering up her son and answering questions about whether anybody actually likes him. Cringe.

People have been puzzling over Scott Bessent's claim that tariffs can't be inflationary — which is, by the way, completely different from Trump's claim that foreigners will pay. The thing is, there is a kind of model here — one that is clear, consistent, and totally false 1/

Donald Trump will impose tariffs that raise prices.

It is now cheaper to purchase Thanksgiving dinner in years thanks to President Biden.

When bin Laden attacked this country, we hunted him for 10 years and vowed to never forget.

When Trump attacked this country, we RE-elected him president with a $400,000 salary and dropped the charges.

We PAY him to hate this country no less than bin Laden did.

“The federal government has nothing to do with public schools curriculum”

Fact-check: True. And it’s actually this incoming administration that is most likely to try to change that by interfering with their own agenda of indoctrination and privatization. Listen:

The folks on Fox & Friends don't seem to know that the Dept. of Ed has nothing to do with curriculum in public schools. It's actually illegal for the Dept. of Ed to mandate curriculum. I've included a short segment from a Baltimore ABC affiliate that explains it.

'It is through..economic growth that we need to be able to properly fund our public services' says Chancellor today

But OBR report Gov’t keeps quoting says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by 15% - a huge reduction in the country’s potential economic performance yet it never gets a mention
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
