Ok I’m at EWR waiting to fly to ORD. All day.
Incoming plane landed 20 mins ago.
The PILOT 🧑‍✈️ of our flight just got on the speaker of the terminal to us sitting:
“Folks it’s going to be 45 min taxi due to one air traffic controller and it will be a bumpy ride” he’s based in Chicago.

Boomers learning the slang expression "FAFO" and becoming obsessed with it might be the worst thing to happen to the lexicon since boomers learned about the word "woke"

The last time Gabbard mentioned the nation of Venezuela was in early 2019. It’s a big mystery why she’s apparently out of the loop.
Tulsi Gabbard It's about the oil ... again. @Tulsi...• 1/28/19 X Bolton just exposed real motive for intervention in Venezuela: "We're in conversation with major American companies now...It would make a difference if we could have American companies produce the oil in Venezuela. We both have a lot at stake here." • 1.1K 1776K 15K Ill 1, Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGa...• 2/22/19 X The US must stay out of Venezuela & let the people determine their own future. US meddling in Latin America has been disastrous for the people of the countries where we intervene. Pence's "demand" is inappropriate & dangerous. tulsi.to/2V7luuK 356 L7 1.7K 3.9K ill 贝 Tulsi Gabbard S9 # @Tulsi... 1/24/19 X X The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela.

The hedgies seem to believe there is or shortly will be something called a government in VZ, and that it'll be safe for them to travel there in March.

It's almost like the hedgies knew more about this invasion than Congress.

Finance Industry Eyes Investment Opportunities in Venezuela By Brian Schwartz Some on Wall Street are already considering possible investment opportunities in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, according to Charles Myers, chairman of consulting firm Signum Global Advisors and a former head of investment advisory firm Evercore. Myers said in an interview he is planning a trip to Venezuela with officials from top hedge funds and asset managers to determine whether there are investment prospects in the country under new leadership. The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors, among others, Myers said. The tentative plan is for the group to travel to Venezuela in March and meet with the new government including the new president, finance minister, energy minister, economy minister, head of the central bank and the Caracas stock exchange. Myers didn’t provide a list of individuals who were planning to travel to the country. He estimates that there will be between $500 billion and $750 billion in investment opportunities in the country for foreign investors over the next five years. "There is a huge amount of interest in Venezuela reconstruction opportunities. And it will bounce back faster as it is in our hemisphere, and the new government will be predicated on welcoming foreign direct investment from day one," Myers said.

Prayers up 🙏🙏🙏hope he recovers
New York Giants starting tight end Theo Johnson, who attended a Knicks game Friday night at Madison Square Garden despite not practicing all week with a noncontagious illness, will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. The second-year tight end was shown on the scoreboard sitting courtside during the game, smiling and waving to the camera. He later reposted a picture taken and posted on social media by a New York Post reporter and responded, "I am not sick."

What happens when Maduro says in open court that as president he has immunity, and Pam Bondi has to say that president's don't have that?

We’re all owed an apology from rightwing and centrist scholars and pundits who assured us for decades that US war-starting would NEVER be motivated by oil.

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

I don’t like that line at all. I would be strongly disinclined to support someone who said it. But it’s not like Mamdani’s opponents support individualism. Their slogan is “obey the dear leader, conform to conservatism, and send the garbage back where they came from.”

Whenever I think about Trump taking a cognitive test I picture his caddy standing next to him whispering "giraffe" under a fake cough.

This is crazy man. Bluesky is the only place I “promote” my newsletter or post my stories.

I’ve also never done a public sale before because I hate promo. As a woman in sports I also have to fight the understandable survival instinct to make myself small every day.

this is v v humbling!
Molly decided to promote her newsletter with a sale and the people of bluesky are like, yes we will subscribe!

If 2025 taught us anything, it’s that the global economy is more resilient than many gave it credit for.
Will this continue in 2026?

Fair warning:

If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow.

My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.

We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.
