This point from @djrothkopf.bsky.social cannot be made too many times. Trump hasn’t “nominated” anyone. He hasn’t changed any policies. He isn’t the president, whatever he’d like you to believe.
The U.S. is suffering from a bad case of premature inauguration. Trump is sending emissaries around the world, attending events, making policy pronouncements like he was already the president. Never seen anything like it. And the response of the media and public is: yawn.

Dinesh D'Souza admitting his film "2000 Mules" had a "flaw" is like saying the Titanic had a "mild flotational hinderance"

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

"the Disinformation Machine...facilitates the abuse of power by distracting attention away from actual political conspiracies, the ongoing abuses and machinations of corrupt, powerful people..." @brianklaas.bsky.social on what Musk has wrought. Terrifying. 1/2
Elon Musk has built a perfect disinformation machine, which helps explain the Bluesky exodus. I explore its inner workings here: www.forkingpaths.co/p/elon-musks...
Elon Musk's Perfect Disinformation Machine
At a moment of dangerously splintering reality, the billionaire manchild has engineered his most revolutionary invention yet: the perfect mechanism to turn money into lies and lies into money.

I’m struck by the anger at Biden I've encountered on @bsky.app. It was McConnell & the GOP who quashed the quickest, cleanest way to banish Trump. Yet now some blame Biden for his rise from the muck. I decided they have a point, up to a point. My thinking here: www.thebulwark.com/p/son-of-a-b...
The ‘Son of a Bitch’ Is Back. So What Comes Next?
Biden promised and delivered a return to norms. Now it’s time to raise hell. For as long as it takes.
