An account so mundane that I don’t even have BOTS following me. Believes in facts and democracy. Only four awards away from an EGOT.

Elon Musk moved his companies to Texas because it was ruby red and it provided a perfect lair for his Bond villain self. He reportedly spent in excess of $500,000,000 to keep it that way. He may be the biggest loser of the night. That’s just another positive.
I miss when we had integrity and class governing us. I miss the time when we were governed by people who worked to make life better for the American people instead of working as grifters to enrich themselves at the expense of the people they serve. Everything said here is true.
Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."

The sheer number of lies from President Trump about Canada – growing again today – is remarkable. Just some fact checks from the last 18 months:
- Trump falsely said today that Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising,” though it is 6.4% (under the Canadian method that adds about a percentage point) and has been declining for three months
- Trump falsely said today that Canada does 95% of its business with the US, though 72% of Canadian exports went to the US last year
- Trump falsely said today that high Canadian agricultural tariffs have caused the entire US trade deficit with Canada, though that deficit is overwhelmingly caused by US imports of cheap Canadian crude and though something like 97% of US ag exports to Canada are tariff-free
- Trump has falsely said Canada generally doesn’t “take” US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-biggest buyer of those exports
- Trump has falsely said the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st state, which the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes
- Trump has falsely said Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually low in WTO global rankings
- Trump has falsely said Canada essentially doesn't have a military, though its military has fought with the US in multiple wars and its force size ranks in the upper half of NATO
- Trump has falsely said Canada hiked its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration, though they hadn’t changed since Trump’s first presidency
- Trump has falsely said the US trade deficit with Canada is “$200 billion,” though it is nowhere close
- Trump has falsely said Canada prohibits US banks, though it doesn't and though more than a dozen US banks were operating in Canada at the time he spoke
- Trump has falsely said Canada is “constantly surrounded” by Chinese and Russian ships, though that is fiction
- Trump has falsely said then-outgoing PM Trudeau was using their trade battle to run again for prime minister, though Trudeau obviously wasn’t running

what an incredible surprise ❤️
longtime usher Judy thought she was just receiving an on-court recognition at tonight's Inspiring Women Night presented by @AnthemBCBS, but we brought out her son, Kyle, who she hasn't seen in nearly 7 years due to military deployments, and it's the best thing you'll see today 🥹
Sure, Trump may be denigrating our national reputation and diminishing our country, but our greatness will shine through. World Cup fans have discovered and are praising Iowa gas station pizza!
This is breakfast pizza from @caseysgenstore
Oh. My. Days.
The photo does NOT do it justice.
Egg on pizza? Shouldn’t work but somehow it’s incredible! 🍕 🤤
I still love the race. It’s truly a highlight of the year. That being said some changed, not necessarily for the better, in the last 40 years.

Great article by @maureendowd It can’t be a coincidence the church made Polish born John Paul II Pope in 1978 during Solidarity and the fall of Soviet Union, and now Chicagoan Leo became Pope when the world is menaced by the existential threat of Trump.

🎯 Apologists trying to credit Orbán for conceding are intentionally missing the point. He would’ve done anything to stay in power had he thought it possible. Hungarians made it impossible. Trying & failing to destroy democracy receives no credit. He didn't stop; he was stopped.
I'm sorry they cut the video off so early, so we could not get the answer. I think I am going to go with downside risk, however.

While destroying a great journalistic institution is terrible and sad, leaving the people who were reporting in the hotspots of the world such as the Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East, without a way to get home is nothing short of reprehensible.

An underdiscussed news item is that Trump is a stark raving lunatic. Threatening to invade Greenland because a committee in Norway didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize is crazy. It's time to acknowledge that the (want to be) Emperor has no clothes. nytimes.com/2026/01/19/world…
