Trump: "Russia could've done a lot more to help Iran. Russia has done very little for Iran. China could've done a lot more for Iran. And I remember that."

The biggest difficulty for Trump and Republicans here is that the first three steps for improving people’s living conditions all involve undoing what they’ve done. 1) Undo the health care and food assistance cuts 2) End the tariffs 3) Go back in time and never start the Iran war

Meredith Lee Hill O @meredithllee X.com •• Rs inside Trump's political operation are warning that pro-Trump super PACs can only help so much Instead, GOP candidates need to focus on laying out 3-5 key future deliverables to "improve people's personal economic situation" and "lower [their] cost of living." If not, "there's a good chance they're going to lose." That's shocked Rs in tough races, who feel like they're getting diverging messaging. It's a big shift from even how House GOP leadership has approached the campaign trail in the final stretch.

No Kings response to Meta: “In the 24 hours before our account was shut down, we posted only a handful of times and livestreamed to thousands. Meta's "high-frequency" excuse doesn't add up…We need answers about why this happened & immediate action to ensure it never happens again.”

Trump on Bribe Force One: "You saw the brand new 747. You know, when you're given gifts, you taken them, right? ... when they give you a 747, you say two words -- 'thank you'"

Linus Torvalds Working On A Hefty Linux Kernel Improvement With Claude Code

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has been known to use AI to help with kernel debugging and outside of the kernel tree has also done some vibe coding with Google's Antigravity. He has previously said he views AI as a useful tool. It turns out he's even now using Claude Code for working on new Linux kernel features...

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

It’s confusing that @theatlantic.com described this man as a “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024” who when these are some of his very easily findable FB posts:

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Crypto’s efforts to buy politicians are spreading outside the US. In the UK, over $100 million in crypto money has flowed into Nigel Farage’s far-right Reform UK party, courtesy of Tether-linked billionaire Christopher Harborne and BitMEX’s Ben Delo (pardoned by Trump last year).

Outside the US The crypto industry's efforts to buy politicians are metastasizing. Some ten-figure donations from crypto billionaires to Reform UK’s Nigel Farage caused outcry in British politics in late 2024 and throughout 2025, as he accepted around £17 million ($22.4 million) across several contributions from Tether-linked British–Thai citizen Christopher Harborne [I98, 102, 105]. The contributions prompted discussion among the UK government over whether to ban large political contributions from British citizens who live overseas. That conversation has been renewed as the Reform party has accepted contributions amounting to £72 million ($97 million) — half from Harborne, and the other half from BitMEX founder Ben Delo.36 Delo and other BitMEX cofounders were charged in the US in 2020 for violations of anti-money laundering laws; Delo ultimately was sentenced to probation and paid a $10 million fine. In 2025, Delo and the other BitMEX cofounders were pardoned by President Trump [I81].“If you don’t pay taxes, if you don’t live here, you can’t buy your way into our democracy because you’re a billionaire,” said Housing Secretary Angela Rayner in an interview arguing for the Labour Party’s planned legislation. I would argue that even if billionaires do pay taxes and live somewhere, they shouldn’t be able to buy their way into democracy, but I suppose it’s a start.37

If you've ever taken an art history class, you know that professors can spend an entire lecture deconstructing one famous painting. They'll do that someday with this photo. The smug look on Schmitt's face. Kennedy's helpful hand. And best of all, the aide -- face hidden, torso with red tie exposed.

February 3, 2024 J.P. Cooney: Hey man. Is 109 Row 1 reserved for Jack? J.P. Cooney: Damn. Thank you for saving- but we are good. Ask Harbach. Gavin Wallach: He is already down here. Thanks. February 2, 2024 Fani Willis acknowledges personal AILA RENA

Ok, this may look like the more likely scenario now, but it also still makes Schmitt and his staff look very incompetent. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-happe...
