I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping.

Donald Trump is golfing.

During the US governors ball, the US Army Choir surrounded the MAGA leadership and sang: "Do
You Hear The People Sing"

The oligarchs didn’t even realize they were being protested. #3E #USprotest #EndOligarchy

I think maybe the thing that saddens me - more than anything else - is that I remember feeling like we were arguing towards each other instead of away. It's been a while (cue chorus) so maybe its just nostalgia - how would I know. Anyway - I'd love to talk policy. But on hearts? I give no quarter.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger.

Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect.

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Most people are assholes. Don't believe me? Next time you see a group of people, yell out "hey, asshole." They'll turn and look.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

"Happy new year" feels inadequate to the task. I don't wish you happenstance happiness. I wish you the grit to seize it when it's in reach.

In 2025, survive. Thrive if you can. And leave the bastards at the bottom of the grave they dug for you.

Get outta here, 2024. Got no use for you anymore.

Well, I’m sure American men losing tens of billions of dollars in a way that barely existed prior to 2020 didn’t influence their opinion on the economy or anything.
Hey is exponential growth in a predatory industry good?

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
