We’re a little late to this, but we just saw MAGA melting down over a post claiming Mamdani is teaching “Arabic numerals” in public schools. We had to laugh do they not realize those are the numbers we use every single day? You really can’t make this stuff up.

heads up, this WILL ALSO REMOVE the automatic sorting that Gmail does, so you will no longer have updates/promotions/forums tabs and instead have just one big inbox. Which is stupid
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

If there’s anything that gives me hope, it’s witnessing young people recognize the issues and take action. These students, for instance, walked out of school and marched to protest ICE in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Charlotte is not called the hornets’ nest for nothing.

Another Trump Flop.

A planned $20 billion bailout for Argentina by JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citigroup has been shelved. Trump had been seeking to bolster Javier Milei’s pro-reform party when it announced a pair of financial lifelines this fall. (WSJ)

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about.

New in PN: The lame duck dictatorship

"It’s increasingly clear that Trump & his captive political party are in the midst of a political reversal. Every major 'policy' of theirs is unpopular & the regime’s leader is a lame duck dictator who's poised to draw his party deeper into a political abyss."
The lame duck dictatorship
Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.
