I can say without any fear of contradiction that I know as much or more than anyone in modern American journalism about the absolute, no excuses necessity of operating in the black. In many cases much more since if you’re a big player there are lots of creative ways to operate ….

WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one?
BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings
WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000
Warnock to Bessent: "Manufacturers shed workers in each of the eight months after President Trump unveiled his tariffs on 'liberation day.' I would submit it's a strange liberation and a curious freedom that leaves you unemployed."

hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.
“It’s just too far away,” he said.

we have reporting, per our sources, in here on what Trump’s intel community (yes Intel community) and federal law enforcement have been probing since last year, which led to this raid, and boy is it wild… I know we’ve come to expect this from this gang, but it’s basically Trump’s feds and spooks…
…staring at a mentally ill subreddit, taking notes in crayon, and using that as legal justification for raiding and criminally investigating their political enemies. I am barely exaggerating here, my god

Exclusive: US spy chief's office investigated voting machines in Puerto Rico

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.”

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved
After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.
Trump once again ties the murderboats to Minnesota.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.
Support independent media.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.
I think this is right but also a good example of how inclinations overwhelm intentions. Bezos wasn't thinking that ten years ago. Musk was fucking around and got stuck. But their inclinations are who they are.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."
Beautiful eulogy, sir.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
