I think we should let him put his name on anything he wants to. As long as he puts his dear friend Jeffrey Epstein’s name on it too. The Trump-Epstein John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts.

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

@theduncanmackay.bsky.social I just passed my copy of Echolands to my classics-loving daughter (22YO). Felt momentous.

Women are <5% of interventional cardiologists in the US. It's not a pipeline issue, a systems issue. WECARE shows women love the field but face pay gaps, limited parental support & cultural barriers. Mentorship is critical. Time to redesign the system. www.ajconline.org/ar... #CardioSky

In January 2028 I’d like the new president’s first act be to tear down the Epstein Ballroom. It’ll be symbolic of the undoing of Trump’s already disastrous second term that will take them the entire 4 years of their presidency.

How long can airports continue to operate at all without paying TSA agents? I doubt those folks had that much saved up. GOP is going to have to stand up to Trump on this one.

I thought I had no chance of getting into the room for Gavin Newsom's SXSW session, but I saw plenty of seats open when I showed up a few minutes late (of course!) to see finance podcaster Vivian Tu interview him. Notes from that hour-long session in this short thread...

The US Military is still loyal to the constitution ... so Trump had to create his own army of brownshirts who will do his bidding in spite of the law, in spite of the courts, and in spite of any human decency. ICE has to go - forever.

Nathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 9mo ago

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

The war Trump is setting up against Venezuela looks a lot like Putin’s war on Ukraine: / Completely avoidable / Based on lies that no one believes / Defiant of international law / Basically an armed robbery

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
