The Trump admin is sinking fast into backstabbing chaos. After the absurd argument about whether the 28 point plan was authored or given to the admin by Ru, now someone leaked Witkoff's soft treason word for word-- coaching Pu's aide how to sweet talk Trump.

The ability of so many analysts, academics and commentators to convince themselves that the United States has all the cards towards Europeans or anyone else even as Trump accelerates the American ship of state towards the rocks of geopolitical reality is one of the wonders of our time.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

pretty much every long-time Labour volunteer I know is seriously considering whether to vote Green or Lib Dem.
It is amazingly horrifying in how little Labour leaders have zero, even negative faith in the values that their party's supposed to stand for. I have the deepest sympathies for the party ground floor workers and supporters who're disgusted by this grotesque betrayal of their values. It's despairing.

Amazing to learn that Isaac Chotiner can apparently just come for you in your replies. Like suddenly realizing you're swimming in open ocean

I'd argue that if the Trump administration keeps going at this rate the transatlantic foundations of NATO will be gone by 2027 anyway. We are then left with a primarily Euro-Mediterranean alliance system with a few Canadians thrown in

This is ridiculous, yes, but I continue to think it’s among the actually most serious of the attempted violations/seizures of power/chilling effects. This isn’t a “if this goes any further this will be bad” thing. What’s described below is *already* extremely alarming.

A couple things to clear up with this thread:
First - the Pashtun people were wonderful and I wish so deeply we could have given them the future we promised. I think often of the girls we sent to school and one of the hardest parts of the Afghan withdrawal for me was thinking of them.

But the Marines asked our interpreters, "So, everyone here is gay, right?" And the interpreters shocked response was, "NO! Why would you say that?"
"Well, they all have sex with men..." and the interpreter's response was, "I've had sex with tons of men. I'm not gay."

The Pritzker Star Wars rankings are broadly correct. Asking for similar from Newsom seems unfair given this. Gavin, I'd like to see your rankings of Trader Joe's reds in the $50-75 range.
