Vance is frightening -arrogant, boorish and cruel
JD Vance went on a ski trip to Vermont this weekend, where hundreds of people lined the streets with pro-Ukraine and anti-Trump/Musk/Vance signs. Protesters gathered at the resort where Vance was staying—before he moved to an undisclosed location.

People assume Andrew Cuomo is tough and A Fighter because he always looks angry and acts weird. Mistaking a total lack of emotional self-regulation and wild, self-destructive spite for Masculine Strength is one of the defining political errors to me. No one even tries to keep it together anymore.

So blessed to know you, friend!
Like she did for others, @joyannreid.bsky.social elevated me. She was the first cable host to have me on as a subject matter expert. She’d reach out personally when news broke that’s in my wheelhouse, always thinking of ways to include me. She helped me find my voice, my lane.

BREAKING: The Democratic Party is suing the Trump administration over Trump's claim to be the ultimate decider of executive branch law.

Per Elie's point in the grab above, a loss in this case for the Democratic Party would ultimately be good for the Democratic Party and its policy preferences for free and fair elections...should a Republican-controlled FEC ever allow Democrats to win again bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.
Omg. This is a thread. Every one should be appalled. 1/5

The logical interpretation of this is that Trump and Hegseth want to limit recruitment and retention of everyone except for straight white male troops. The question then would be: why? www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The deletion of photos, video and other content is part of an order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that all the military services eliminate online material not allowed by the Trump administration.

This is a slight tongue-twister of a quote, but Pete is right about this:

"Politics is about how you make people feel about themselves... Before we even get to what they think of us, it's what they think we think of them."

Interesting that Musk shows more respect, in terms of his dressing, when he is with the Chinese government than with the American government, but MAGA doesn’t care.

The Tesla protests are having an impact. The world sees Musk not as a genius, but for the apartheid loving POS he truly is.

Keep it up!

Then there’s fed conflict of interest laws, which apply to Musk no matter what kind of fed employee he is. The most basic law, 18 U.S.C. § 208, bars gov employees from working on ofcl matters where they have a $ interest absent waiver in limited cases (not these). /5 www.oge.gov/web/oge.nsf/...

Trump’s planned Oval Office ambush of Zelensky continues to backfire, as thousands rallied in support of Ukraine in Times Square on Saturday. Zelensky was welcomed to the UK with open arms on Saturday. British PM Keir Starmer greeted Zelensky with a big hug and a massive defense loan worth billions.

While I appreciate the sentiment, not one Republican senator who disagrees with Trump on this will even say his name. While Zelensky demonstrated political courage, Republican senators are still afraid to say Trump’s name, except when they praise him.

Why?
“Puncturing Musk’s public-image bubble & crashing the price of Tesla stock will leave him still a multi-billionaire, but could alienate other less wealthy but nonetheless powerful investors in Tesla who have to date acquiesced to the coup...”
