Today, on the first night of Hanukkah, and every other night, we recommit to fighting for the sanctity of all human life.
Who do you really trust to carry the next message in a bottle? And will anyone be left listening when it comes back?
What accounts for phrasing like this? If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.President Donald Trump targeted another elite law firm that has represented clients he considers his political enemies, sending a forceful message that he is willing to punish firms who work for people or groups that oppose his administration’s agenda.

Jay Rosen@jayrosen.bsky.social · last yr.Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.
Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.
How has Trump improved the lives of working-class Americans? Eggs are 15.2% more expensive. Gas at the pump is up 1.8%. 72 million Americans are at risk of losing health care. Stocks are down and grocery prices are up. I'm not sure what these Republicans are applauding.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
It is clearly in the interest of Americans to support Ukraine in a war against our adversary America First is consistent with support for Ukraine. It’s not hard.
