yes yes yes - Character Limit is a must read. It was before Elon Musk's storming of Washington and is required reading now. @kateconger.com @rmac.bsky.social

I know I’ve said this on here before, but it’s really remarkable and humbling to see our book resonate with people who want to understand DOGE. Thank y’all so, so, much for reading. It’s really special to me and @rmac.bsky.social. Hope to see some of you at the Tucson Festival of Books this week!

Inside Sam Altman's path into Trump's inner circle. I've followed his political journey for a while, and everyone thought he'd be sidelined because of his rivalry with Elon Musk. Don't count him out. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/t...

Heartbreaking to see such a mass exodus of talent from WaPo, my beloved former newsroom. It took weeks for its owner and management to destroy one of the most venerable news orgs in the world. Let's be very clear, many many who left were lifers and only left because the felt the house was on fire.

TikTok's only lifeline was Trump stepping in asap. He just posted that he needs time to review the situation and that he'll make a decision in the "not too distant future," which is absolutely not the vague timeline TikTok wanted.

Before Zuck2.0, he said he was all-in on Sheryl Sandberg's push for diversity and her Lean In efforts. "Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for an inclusivity initiative at Facebook..." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Stephen Miller, Channeling Trump, Has Built More Power Than Ever

Stephen Miller was the architect of Donald J. Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda in his first term. Now he is back with fewer internal rivals and even more influence with the president.

The irony of Meta deleting comments by their own employees on internal message boards which are critical of Zuckerberg’s decision to get rid of fact checkers… while extolling the virtues of free expression/free speech to get rid of said fact checkers. 😔

Sheera Frenkel@sheeraf.bsky.social · 2y ago

I spoke to two Meta executives, who said that the recent decision to remove fact checkers is really Zuckerberg going back to his roots on free expression. If you want to learn more about his libertarian history, pick up the book I wrote with @nytceciliakang.bsky.social

Mark Zuckerberg is done with apologizing. Did a quick story on today’s news that Meta was ending its fact checker program, and what it says about Zuckerberg’s personal evolution: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...
