Don't get me wrong, I enjoy op-eds and I understand that reporting doesn't necessarily make money but without actual journalism we literally just won't know what happens. If the entire media ecosystem consists of Substack and highly-paid columnists and podcasts, we're doomed
It's extremely depressing to see just how much newspapers like the Washington Post depend on the goodwill of individual billionaires. I don't know how to fix it, but it's just sad. And the conflicts of interest are glaringly obvious

As Europeans, that's our opening. Most powerful Republicans don't like Trump, they support him because they think that it helps them. To deter Trump, we threaten to inflict as much pain as possible on Republicans that want to get re-elected
EXCLUSIVE: In secret recordings, Sen. Ted Cruz trashes Trump, Vance
"You're going to lose the House, you're going to lose the Senate, you're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week."

Exclusive: In secret recordings, Cruz trashes Trump, Vance
The comments to donors last year are some of the harshest criticisms of Trump and Vance by a fellow Republican.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Wenn das so weitergeht, werden reguläre Wahlen zu den Midterms noch unwahrscheinlicher: Zu viele, die sich jetzt schuldig machen, haben zu viel zu verlieren.
Was liegt dann näher, als in einen Ausnahmezustand hineinzueskalieren?

This is a red line. If we let the United States force Denmark to give up territory by threatening an invasion, we're done. There are no good options here, but we have to stand with Denmark

1/ Donald Trump isn't the first person to be given someone else's Nobel Prize medal. The last recipient of an unearned Nobel medal was none other than Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, at the instigation of Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. ⬇️

have a strong feeling that, almost immediately after trump is no longer alive (whenever that is) there’s gonna be a break in the dam & even his supporters will say how embarrassing he was (an analog here is how the right mostly gave up on lionizing kirk after a few days & he just became a meme)
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Donald Trump during a White House meeting. A White House official confirmed that Trump intends to keep the medal reut.rs/4bCPVV3
Trump accepts Nobel medal from Venezuelan opposition leader Machado
Machado, who described their meeting as "excellent," said the gift was in recognition of what she called Trump's commitment to the freedom of the Venezuelan people.

I bet the members of the Nobel Committee feel really bad about not granting the Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump. Nobody loves peace more than the guy threatening to invade Denmark

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

I don’t want to tell people to give up hope or despair, but I think a lot of my disagreements stem from being fundamentally less optimistic than this about the current trajectory which probably features the GOP holding the senate and courts getting increasingly MAGAfied ahead of 2028.
Between the popular backlash to ICE brutality and Jerome Powell‘s statement, we are getting more and more signs that Trump is failing to consolidate an authoritarian regime

Fox has mentioned January 6th zero times on the 5 year anniversary of the insurrection.
Instead, they reported on an AI tennis robot, an 'American First' license plate, Pope Leo closing the Holy Door, and DEI in sitcoms.
