Jack Smith will now write a report on Jan 6 investigation. He must include declinations to prosecute. It will be interesting to see if he and his team found evidence of crimes by members of Congress – who have seemingly gotten off scot-free – but declined to bring charges for constitutional reasons

A 25% tariff on Canadian goods would
- spike gasoline prices
- spike natural gas prices
- drastically increase price of lumber and cement
- completely crater the construction and housing markets
So all your prices would go up — but the value of your house would go down

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.
He had help.
It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.
Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.
70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.
There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.
Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

The decision by the LATimes’ owner to yank his editorial board’s Kamala endorsement now appears to be just his first step in sucking up to the new administration.
Good luck to the fine staff of that newspaper.

We live in a country where the incoming president is an unrepentant convicted felon serial sexual abuser who’s stacking his cabinet with sex traffickers, rapists & pedophiles, but at least we’re protecting our kids from all those books in which the main character has two mommies.

Trump is not playing 3D chess with cabinet picks. He wanted Gaetz and thought he could bully Republicans into confirming him. Same with Hegseth. He doesn't have a mandate or a large enough majority to install these clowns. Gabbard and RFK are also going to be huge issues. He doesn't have the votes.
