Folks should remember that the Biden-Hur interviews occurred on Oct. 8 & 9th 2023, immediately after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Biden participated in Hur's interviews in spite of having far more pressing national security & foreign affairs issues on his mind during that time period.

It was - in 2021, Steve Bannon said "We're putting together a coalition that's gonna govern for 100 years." Katherine Stewart's new book, "Money, Lies & God" lays it all out clearly, describing who's who, the over-arching plan, & how they've been funding & executing that plan. Very scary stuff.

Very chilling - but indicative of the attitude of those leading the Christian nationalist backed MAGA movement. I just finished Katherine Stewart's new book, "Money, Lies, & God," which describes in detail the totally antidemocratic, ruthless, & arrogant views of MAGA. Everyone should read it.

Not to mention the necessary facilities & protocols, plus qualified medical, technical & administrative staff to find & properly screen potential patients then treat, test, monitor, document & assess all results from patients accepted into clinical trials, which are long & painstaking efforts.

As a reminder of how far we've fallen, Richard Nixon, of all people, created the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the current form of the National Cancer Institute.

@tomsuozzi.bsky.social, you are naive, ignorant & in denial that authoritarianism is possible here. Stop viewing America as exceptional - it isn't. Read the authoritarian playbook - Trump/the GOP have it memorized. They've been open about their authoritarian desires. Believe them. Act accordingly.

Yes. It's an enlightening book that explains & ties together history, relationships, events & policy decisions between US-Ukraine, US-Russia, Ukraine-Russia-US-Western Europe & Ukraine-Russia-US that have led to the current crisis centered in Ukraine, but facing the world. Everyone should read it.

The strategy Trump & R's are executing right now is taken directly from dictators like Putin & Orban. See, e.g., www.theguardian.com/world/2011/d..., www.france24.com/en/20181222-... In fact, most of what we see from Trump & R's so far in this administration is based on the authoritarian's playbook.

Yes, Dems should be walking out en masse, and holding a press conference to point out all the lies he's telling. His speech is nothing but a disgusting string of lies.

Your book's outstanding - well researched/written & extremely insightful. It offers invaluable detail abt Ukraine's history/relationships w/ Russia, the US & other regional players. It's also very enlightening abt US post-Cold War policies. It's a must read to understand Ukraine's current situation.

Anything that takes attention/press from Trump. Wyden's holding an online town hall during the SOTU: ktvz.com/news/governm... That could be effective if, instead of showing up at the SOTU, every Dem met with folks from their districts/states during the SOTU & got press to cover those meetings.

Why didn't the Times concentrate on Trump's lies during the campaign, or the last 10 years? He's been a liar his whole life, dangerously so during his first campaign, first term, throughout the Biden admin & particularly during the 2024 campaign. The Times knew this but deliberately normalized him.

Someone needs to ask Duffy why he's praising the Brightline West project, which is plagued w/ issues: medium.com/@jesseowen1/.... Could it possibly be bc Drew McKnight, co-CEO of Brightline's parent co., Fortress, has longterm ties to Jared Kushner? newrepublic.com/article/1742...

Mediocre speeds, ridiculous prices, a business plan built upon gentrification, and criminally unsafe crossings are a few of the reasons…

They aren't proposing such legislation cause Mike Johnson won't let it get to a vote in the House, & even if he did, Republicans wouldn't vote for it, & even if they did in the House, Senate Republicans wouldn't pass it, & even if they did, Trump would never sign it into law. So, it's a time waster.
February 20, 2025 at 7:23 PM
I read it when it first came out, & since Trump's election in 2016, I've thought often of Hollenbach, MacVeigh, O'Malley, et al. That book was eerily prescient & definitely worth a read today.

SCOTUS - how do you feel about that presidential immunity decision now that your guy's decided he's not that into you? You bent the knee, obeyed in advance, & appeased a wannabe dictator bc you thought he'd always need you. You never got it. You were just a means to his end, the death of democracy.

Hope Ed Sullivan shows up, tells the truth, and explains in detail how he came to draw the short straw at Bove's demand.

See original CRS analysis of DOGE: crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/... According to their analysis, DOGE reports to Suzie Wiles through an as yet unnamed administrator (not Musk), but Musk & his DOGErs are supposed to report to that unnamed individual. Reporters should question Wiles about this!
February 18, 2025 at 4:08 PM
According to the original description of DOGE, Musk was part of DOGE. He was never the DOGE administrator but was supposed to report to that person. The administrator has never been named, but that unnamed person was supposed to report to WH COS, Suzie Wiles: crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...

Very true. He has a law degree, is licensed to practice law, speaks Russian & English fluently, co-founded & served as artistic director of the highly acclaimed Studio Kvartal 95 production co., was general producer of Ukrainian Inter TV, then produced & acted in TV & major films for Network 1+1.

Yes, but this isn't just a Musk v Trump AI oligarch tech battle. One must factor in the intense goal of Charismatic Christian/New Apostolic Reformation/Dominionist/White Christian Nationalist movements/oligarchs worldwide to achieve their goal of creating the kingdom of god on earth through Trump.

Several of those blue states have outstanding schools of public health that perhaps could join forces to help alleviate a major public health crisis throughout the country.
