The Prime Minister explains what has happened, why the world isn't able to go back, and lays out a path forward.

Required listening/reading. I recommend going to the Davis website which posts both the video and the transcript.

“Do me this favor: If you see headlines today proclaiming that the big takeaway from Trump’s speech was that he renounced the use of military force to take Greenland, ignore them. That’s not what actually happened.”

Donald Trump vs. the World
In his Davos rant, the president lied, insulted allies, and depicted America as a hellhole.

Trump has always preferred that his victims lay quietly while he attacks them.
But his attack will be even more vicious if they don't cooperate.
That's what strongmen do.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

When this is over, amoral anti-American law firms like Jones Day will eagerly be running Operation Paperclip for the lawless scum of the Trump DoJ like D. John Sauer, and the profession has to find a way to inflict debilitating harm on those firms and their managers or give up on the rule of law.
After Sauer says Lisa Cook "was given an opportunity" to respond to the allegations, KBJ asks whether that due process was: "She supposed to post about it, and that was the opportunity to be heard?"

Yes, Sauer replies.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Trump's speech at Davos is constant babbling. Interrupted only by him stopping to suck on his toes (ok that last part is my prediction for his next speech).

How does ABC summarize the speech?
"Trump outlines his approach to Greenland", ignoring even that he kept confusing Greenland & Iceland.

I think it’s bad that the Speaker of the House has been in a sensory deprivation tank since roughly 2015 and only emerges to get yelled at in the hallway outside of the tank.
Mike Johnson tells me that he hasn’t seen Trump saying in Davos “what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor:

"This is a new standard I've never heard of before. In an informal proceeding, the president can go by social media, and one believes that that is adequate notice under law. I'm hard pressed to think that a letter from a lawyer is not notice from the adversary."

Sotomayor with a perfect question: If courts can't stay removal, and courts can't reinstate someone who's wrongly removed, then "for cause, not policy disagreement" protection is meaningless, right?

Trump on NATO: "We never ask for anything, and we never got anything. We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay?"

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

Say you're watching a debate on the Arctic.
Carney vs Trump
Canada vs US

Say you can grade them without worrying that your family could be taken to Gitmo.

Who is best on style, content and leadership?

Carney A+A+A+

Trump doesn't meet minimum requirements. No grade given.
Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

I've helped with legitimate news outlet turnarounds. What's happening at CBS News is anything but. The Ellison's have gift wrapped the news network for Trump. The fake 'internal injuries' story was just the start of the MAGA makeover. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
Goodbye Cronkite, Hello Trump.
The new owners of CBS and their handpicked propagandist are all-in on a MAGA makeover, eager to spin, spike, and edit (or not)news content to keep Trump happy. Who runs CBS now? Trump.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
