I was fortunate to sit next to Bill Moyers at a 1997 League of Conservation Voters dinner in Manhattan. Here is the text of the speech he gave that night. It is my privilege to share it now. 1/2 @hcrichardson.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Guaranteed: Putin encouraged Trump's adventurism, seeing in it a fatal mistake and opportunity to energize opposition to the "imperialist" USA. China will also view the US incursion as justification for violence against Taiwan. Shitshow. @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

Trump promising to rescue non-violent Iranian protesters being brutalized by their government as here at home he authorizes and condones non-violent *American* protesters being brutalized by *his* government (to include urging that they be shot in the legs) is certainly a new take on "America First"

"In 2020, interest payments totaled $345 billion at the start of the COVID pandemic. Now that amount has just about tripled only six years later,... Since foreigners hold about one-third of all U.S. debt, it means a larger chunk of U.S. income will flow overseas." qz.com/us-national-...

Did you know that the homicide rate in NYC is roughly 20% the homicide rate in Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee? If you watch Fox News, you don't know that. Fox has been smearing the Apple with false claims about crime for a decade now.
A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.
Homicides in NYC...
1990: 2,262
1993: 1,927
1998: 629
2001: 649
2013: 335
2019: 320
2021: 488
2024: 382
2025 (as of 12/28): 302

So he takes 4 times the recommended dose of aspirin every day, has "thin blood," and yet he didn't bleed like a hog in an abatoir when he got "shot" in Pennsylvania? Okay.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.
