Professor Krugman doesn’t use the term “ugly American” in his comments, but that’s the image that comes to mind. The senior levels of the U.S. federal government are currently occupied by people who proudly embody that old stereotype.

Last night we welcomed Lina M. Khan, former FTC Chair, for an enlightening conversation with our own Paul Krugman, research professor in economics. Video of “Affordability, Antitrust, and Inequality” coming soon! Presented with @stone-lis.bsky.social (Photos: Matt Harvey)
Justin Fox Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 7 of 7 - He refuses out of fear to implicate Elon Musk in the deposition. In Part 7, he's worn down, tired and weak. "Did I send the termination notices? Yes."

You can tell when he's reading because his lips are moving.
We now unfortunately have a image to go with the nightmares that this person - Nate Cavanaugh - and Justin Fox caused by cancelling 1400+ grants and destroying the careers of 70% of staff at the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Most of us never even met these people. #NEH #humanities
No wonder Justin Fox, DOGE agent responsible for NEH grant reviews, couldn't define DEI. He didn't read the grants; he created ChatGPT program based on the EO to select grants for canceling.

Videos of the depositions of Michael McDonald, Adam Wolfson, and DOGE staffers Justin Fox and Nathan Cavanaugh are available in our playlist at www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I would share video of Justin Fox from the DOGE raid on USIP but he doesn't say more than three words in nearly six hours of footage and now I guess we know why.
Just for fun, here are some images of the same DOGE douche (Justin Fox) at the raid on the US Institute of Peace via the MPD body cam footage I obtained:
This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
And the pigs keep gobbling.

I know why they used scare quotes, but the orders aren’t legitimate, and there are ways to say that which don’t imply they are.
DHS needs to be dismantled.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
In response to this CNN report:
Iran has begun laying a small number of mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Only a few dozen mines have been placed so far, but Iran still has most of its mine-laying boats available and could deploy hundreds if it chooses.
It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
U.S. Automakers Risk Being Reduced to Niche Producers of Gas Vehicles www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/b...
Well Boohoo automakers. You’ve hitched your wagons to Ratpublican politicians and they’re screwing you. As a company you’ve screwed your employees, you drive cost down buy building unreliable cars.
I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
No principles, no morality, no information, no expertise, just endlessly appeasing Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and assorted billionaires and foreign oligarchs or chasing the next headline, until suddenly colliding with reality. Bang, oof.

We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

Speaker Johnson could call the House back and vote to fund TSA today.
Let’s be clear: long lines at the airports are a direct result of Republicans insisting ICE be able to defy court orders, kidnap and murder people and face zero consequences.
The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.
Today in Brooklyn Federal Court, a pair of former rookie NYPD cops face civil rights charges for groping and stealing money from a naked prostitute in a Queens brothel -- after the state case against them got tossed on speedy trial grounds last year.
