This is one of the most extraordinary and illuminating passages in all journalism. CNN frames Maduro as a paranoid liar for claiming the CIA is trying to overthrow him. Yet in the very next sentence, it casually notes that the CIA did, in fact, overthrow him. The level of cognitive dissonance and imperial brain rot you must have to write this, and then have it read by an editor and published, is truly breathtaking.

In 2020, during a deadly heatwave in California, Cruz blamed its “failed” energy grid and said the state was "unable to perform even basic functions of civilization.” And yet, where does Cruz go when it’s freezing in Texas and his state’s power grid can’t handle the cold?
Shea Jordan Smith@shea_jordan

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.

@MenInBlazers I’m so conflicted! Great for the US team, but my wife was an exchange student to Uruguay, and it’s been SO MUCH MORE FUN to root for Uruguay over the past 30 years

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion [video from The Curiosity Show: buff.ly/36DvRNs]

@bgurley Disney should not be allowed to own Fubo (or Hulu for that matter). We need real antitrust enforcement.

After acquiring Nest to force everyone to Google’s account, mining data inside homes, the recidivist monopolist is bricking mine tomorrow and trying to dangle a discount ahead of holiday sales rush. There is no way I would give Google business here.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

@jason_kint Some really interesting points! I hope @NBCSports / @peacock take notes. I dropped the cable bundle long ago, and it’s so annoying that they refuse to sell me access to all the premier league games without also paying for Fox News.

This app isn’t just a redesign. It’s a signal. ESPN may have just written the new playbook for sports media w direct user relation biz model weaving all of its capabilities together. Hat tip. Look fwd to watching more. /10

Blown away by ESPN’s new app launch today (and they said this is the first bit of a marathon). After having spent 20 years competing against them, I don’t hand out compliments lightly. But this relaunch? It’s a masterclass in where premium media should be heading. /1

I predict many bankruptcies among small businesses in the coming months. They have written letters of credit to the factory to start fall goods production. Many won’t have the cash to pay the tariff. And they won’t have leverage with their retailers to increase prices.

This analysis is spot-on. Tariffs will hurt small and mid size brands much harder than giant brands who have already smashed their suppliers for the lowest possible prices. That $20 Nike shoe might cost a small brand $40 - which means they also pay double the tariff
Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER@doctorow

For all that orthodox economists *hate* tariffs in all their forms, the question, "do tariffs work?" is a complex one, which can't be answered unless you specify *which* tariffs, in *what* context: #spherical-cows-on-frictionless-surfaces" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pluralistic.net/2025/04/02/me-… 1/

The (high) level of political pain that's ongoing now is before people really even start feeling the real economy effects, which are going to be very large
Michael Brendan Dougherty@michaelbd

Without a phase in period, you’re going to have a ton of importers just getting calls, “Hey, we’ve got the stuff you ordered from Italy months ago, please bring $200k down to the customs office for release.” There’s no deal in the future that going to make them whole, or make them forget.

@Stan_3s @nickgraynews If the setting allowed one request per app, I might set it to that… but some apps request All The Time.

@TheEconomist This has already been the case for years. Companies have been paying 15-30% more for in-office employees when compared to similarly skilled remote employees. (Up to 60+% if you include nearshore.)

Workers hate return-to-the-office mandates. If a firm’s goal is to reduce costs, there may be a simpler way: lower pay for remote workers econ.st/4gumhAq

@doctorow This would be fantastic. But also, Democrats need to kill the corruption. How does this vision coexist with “Dem Donors pressure Harris to fire Lina Khan”?

The Democratic Party doesn't need its own Joe Rogan - they need a nationwide network of local outlets, sponsored by the party, committed to *never* enshittifying, bringing relevant, timely news to a nation in desperate need of it. eof/

As unbearably cringe as the hunt for a "leftist Joe Rogan" is, it is (to use a shopworn phrase), "directionally correct." Democrats suck at getting their message out, and that exacts a high electoral cost. 1/
