The enemy of my enemy isn’t my friend—they just share my rival. But alliances of convenience can be powerful tools: use them strategically, but never mistake them for true friendship. When the common threat fades, so might the alliance—sometimes turning into a new rivalry.

And zero means to enforce the law to hold the president accountable when Congress is equally corrupt and complicit.

Presidents take this oath
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”
If you want to deny due process to some, how will you feel when your political opponents are in power and decide to deny you due process?! It can’t be selective because then it can become politicized.
You CANNOT call someone a felon without due process-period. Denying them due process *because* you think they’re a felon? That’s not justice, that’s tyranny. Due process is the foundation. No shortcuts. Ever. #RuleOfLaw #DueProcess
"THEY COMMITTED A FELONY"
oh yeah? And which process do you use to determine who has committed a felony?
Spoke to a formerly NSF-funded researcher and a former NSF program officer about the changes to the NSF re: disinformation.
They were clear: studying disinformation doesn't cause censorship, but censoring research causes censorship.
Efficiency in #business vs. #government are very different. Businesses streamline for revenue, cutting costs to boost profits 💰. Governments must be efficient to maximize equity, ensuring essential services reach all citizens fairly, even when costly or complex 🏛️. #GovEfficiency #Equity
We are witnessing the second great collapse of globalization, writes the historian Tara Zahra. The first time around was a disaster. Can we avoid the same mistakes?
It’s simple math.
Losing 25% means it takes a 33% increase to recover.
100 - 25 =75
75 * ? = 100
? = 1.3333
That is literally 8% wasted. It requires 8% more work to recover those losses simply to return to the previous value.
Anyone who claims to believe in what Trump is doing should be confronted with a single question:
Tell me when we’ll start seeing everything return?
Make a note of what they say and if they give a timeframe.
Maybe show them the math of what it will take to recovery these losses.
Stop watching the news, become the news.
Equating liberal and conservative media ignores the stark difference: both may omit, only one fabricates. This false parity undermines truth itself.
He’s definitely getting his money’s worth. He must be feeling like (is?) one of the most powerful people of all time to topple the most powerful country in history without a single shot fired. Continuously sow division, then just watch it burn.
Because Trump has been an unwitting Russian asset for at least a decade, probably more. As are all right-wing propaganda worshipers who believe everything they see on Fox News et al.
Researchers have found that people experience genuine pleasure—a rush of dopamine—when processing information that supports their beliefs, even when it’s wrong.
This was the plan all along.

Is that true? Or did you hear it on Fox News?
Millions of bees have died this year and researchers aren’t sure why. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.

News Analysis: President Trump and his administration’s lawyers are trying to deter law firms from suing his administration. His actions could undermine the basic right of Americans to sue their government.
Signalgate is a window into the administration’s approach to policy issues, but it mostly makes clear that these are stupid, reckless people pursuing stupid, reckless policies.
Yes. But liars lie.
