A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship.

But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

In October 1999, Hassett coauthored a book that purportedly calculated that the DJIA (then at 10,273) was grossly undervalued, and would hit 36,000 by 2002–04.

On October 9, 2002, the Dow closed at 7,286.27.

The index did not reach 36,000 until November 1, 2021.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Trump just shattered a 117-year precedent, defying the will of the FBI Agents Association, all to install his deranged, fascist loyalist at the helm of the FBI. F this guy

This is so exciting, and it's also so funny that our national response to this is basically "not NOW, new state of matter, we have a lot going on" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/t...
Microsoft Says It Has Created a New State of Matter to Power Quantum Computers
Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible.

A reminder: in the past, when a singer's mic cut out during the U.S. National Anthem at a hockey game in Canada, the entire arena stepped in, singing every single word of the Star Spangled Banner together.

Tonight, thanks to Trump, Canada is booing during the National Anthem.

This is a *remarkable* message. Although phrased politely and with no hint of disobedience, Acting FBI Director Driscoll is making clear to all that he's not onboard with Trump's purge.

I would expect him to be removed from his position if they can find someone more willing to do Trump's bidding.
Message to the whole #FBI workforce from Acting Director Brian Driscoll:

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

“Maybe happiness is about falling in love with your life, eating your favorite foods, dancing to your favorite songs, soaking in all the nourishing moments, slowing down, taking up space, loving yourself and the people around you harder.
Knowing, you are more than enough.”

Nothing legitimizes Putin’s expansion rhetoric and tortured historical excuses for doing so like the incoming American President making basically the same arguments.

Saying there are security reasons we need to “own” Greenland and historical reasons we should reclaim the Panama Canal is nuts…
Trump’s Christmas message fails to mention Jesus, forgiveness, peace, joy, of any other Christmas message.

Instead, he threatens Panama, China, Canada, and Greenland and just rambles about himself and his grievances.
