How is the tradeoff on cutting taxes to billionaires versus the loss of healthcare for millions a good deal?

Who is going to pay for senior citizens in nursing homes?

Paraphrasing Scrooge, if they're going to die, then they'd better get on with it and decrease the surplus population

Of course we're all going to die. We just have the expectation that our government doesn't have a hand in our death.

But our government says, "Screw you people. You're either the rich or rich adjacent, or you can f**k off. Oh, and do you know about Jesus Christ?"

Tim Walz: I saw recently, the Democrats got together and hired a bunch of people, and they went into a hotel to decide how we can best message to people.

That's how we got into this damn mess. Stay away from the poll-tested things - just tell people where they're at.

A great year for British football. Newcastle wins the Carabao Cup. Crystal Palace wins the FA Cup (its first trophy ever), Wrexham 3rd promotion in as many years, and Liverpool gets to celebrate winning the Premier League with their fans.

YNWA is why I'm a Liverpool fan.

The message is one party is choosing the very wealthy over the working folks.

The rich need their tax cuts. Grandma can fend for herself.

That needs to be said loud and often.

Congratulations to Crystal Palace 🎉

Wow, that guy sitting next to @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social in the White House said one idiotic thing after another.

It's almost elder abuse to put that old man in these situations where he embarrasses himself with his diminished capacity on full display.

I just did a quick PoC with Claude, minikube, and the Kubernetes MCP server. I had it create a small test cluster, which it did quite easily, and then asked if we could configure it to comply with NIST guidelines. It gave me several steps that I could do to secure the configuration. Very cool!

I love how things like this are discovered accidentally, as a byproduct of trying to improve a process. This will change how we do public private keys if it's true

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

@marcelias.bsky.social how binding are the deals between Trump and the big law firms?

I really appreciated the simple, clear explanation of tariffs and wealth flows, plus the call for people to have a real conversation on how to come up with a real economic policy.

I guess because like five of us are saying something, what was done to @krebs is an absolute injustice and a mockery of his selfless service.

America no longer supports or protects critical infrastructure defenders. I hope someone else appreciates him a lot more.

I know he can’t reply.

Money tells us what people may not feel safe to speak out loud. US Treasury bonds and the dollar were the safest place to park money, but the world is saying that it no longer trusts the US with its money.

I wonder how long the people who run the markets are going to stand by and watch it burn

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.
