"What’s especially mystifying about mainstream media’s behavior is that they’re tying the rope for their own noose ... they ought to at least be selfish enough to worry about dangers to the well-being of their own industry," writes @markjacob.bsky.social for COURIER's Stop the Presses.

One of the big media failures of the past decade is the ongoing search for the deeper side of Trump. There isn't one. His ideology, such as it is, is personalist, transactional, and zero-sum. That's as vain, vulgar, and wrong as you can get. He likes gold shit and applause. There's nothing beneath.

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot prevent him from invading a NATO ally and ending the alliance, I'll have no choice but to join his calls to cancel the 2026 elections.

According to the Congressional Joint Economic Committe, the average Iowa family has paid $1,303 more due to tariffs. As governor, I'd speak the truth: tariffs are bad for Iowa's economy especially and bad for Iowans too. That's public service over politics.

Its so interesting to see which Republicans are just gagging to go full fascist as soon as they possibly can... some are happy to just dip their toe in. Check the temperature, but others just dive on in there, like pedos at an Epstein party.

Maybe we should turf them sooner rather than later idk
a very unfortunate dynamic this administration has is that the more unpopular and weak they become the more damage they will do, because it is the only move they have
they are flailing but they’re going to do astounding amounts of damage on the way out even if we somehow avoid the worst case
