On @60minutes.bsky.social last night, Scott Pelley began by saying "it was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story–because of the fear". Is it any surprise that one of the people NOT afraid also happens to be speaking at our @principlesfirst.bsky.social event in NYC on Thursday? /1

Yesterday, in Canada, they elected a leader with degrees from Harvard and Oxford. He has a PhD in economics. He led two different major banks through times of unprecedented crisis.

Today, in America, we were treated to this.
This exchange is so very telling.

Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:

"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

First they came for the penguins, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a penguin.
Impressed the crack White House economic team not only found the Heard and McDonald Islands—an uninhabited Australian territory which is a two week sail from the mainland requiring a permit to visit—but that they managed to figure out the optimal retaliatory tariff to impose on penguins.

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

The main idea: stop the “this is preposterous!” interviews for cable news. Take Trump’s plans seriously. Don’t just explain why they are bad on TV. Show why they are bad for people in real life—literally go find those Americans, stand beside them, and champion their cause.

1/10 For the record, I am 100% against waste, fraud and abuse.

So already, you and I agree.

However, to get there, we need transparency. And to get transparency, there can be no conflicts of interest.

This is genuinely an important article. The two main lessons from Hungary appear to be:

DO NOT WAIT

DO NOT UNDERREACT

Authoritarians like Orban and Trump rely on opposition being unwilling to believe that what is happening is actually happening. That’s their window.

In fairness, Trump said he'd lower prices on day one. He said nothing about days 2 - 1461.

Oh, and also: we're in a coup

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."
