NEW: One of my favorite columnists, @jenrubin.bsky.social has left the WaPo, to join with Norm Eisen in launching a new publication: The Contrarian. In a parting kick in the nuts to Bezos, the tagline is: “Not owned by anybody.” Rubin told CNN it's pro-democracy, with two dozen contributors aboard.

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

Can’t even MAGA see how destructive & obscene this is?
The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year.
12 people. $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

‘In a new realm’: China’s escalating cyberespionage leaving the U.S. ‘so vulnerable’
On Friday, the U.S. announced sanctions on China’s Integrity Technology Group, a cybersecurity firm linked to the Chinese hacking group Flax Typhoon, which has been accused of carrying out a litany of cyberattacks on Americans in recent weeks. China’s escalating cyberespionage campaign against the U.S. and its allies is one of the more overlooked stories, yet its stakes are intensifying. As cyber-attacks ramp up, top China cybersecurity expert Samm Sacks argues that the U.S. must decide whether to take a hardline approach in regulating critical industries vulnerable to attack. “Our system is so vulnerable,” says Sacks, we could find ourselves “essentially rebuilding it from scratch.”

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

I think we all wish they were better actors as a group. And the anti trust actions will hopefully clean some things up. Just realize they all look at this as their own version of Survivor. They each know that any of them could be the next IBM. A once dominant company turned into an afterthought

They don’t care about Trump. But they can’t let him put his “thumb on the scale “ and push them back, or one of the others forward.
Giving millions and kissing a ring when trillions are at stake, is nothing.
