Trump's latest 'plan' for 2026? More chaos, fewer facts. From dodging accountability on Jan 6 to pushing policies that divide us deeper—it's exhausting. America deserves leaders who unite, not inflame. Who's with me for real progress? #TrumpCritique #BlueskyPolitics

Federal judge in Pittsburgh just blocked parts of the DOJ’s invasive transgender care subpoena for minor patients, pushing back against what critics see as an overreach into deeply personal medical privacy. A welcome check on government power amid aggressive enforcement tactics.

“Bari Weiss built her career crusading to silence Arab scholars criticizing Israel—campaigns to ruin careers at Columbia—yet poses as free speech champion at NYT. Greenwald exposes the hypocrisy: her 'academic freedom' rhetoric masks suppression of Palestinian voices. Classic gatekeeper move.”
Before Bari Weiss was silencing journalists at CBS for segments that were critical of Trump, she waged a war to get college professors fired for expressing concerns about Christian and Muslim Palestinians. This is who Bari Weiss is: theintercept.com/2018/03/08/t...
NYT's Bari Weiss Falsely Denies Her Years of Attacks on the Academic Freedom of Arab Scholars Who Criticize Israel
The New York Times columnist and editor spent years crusading for the type of censorship she claims to loathe. Instead of acknowledging this, she denies it.

Russia jailing a British citizen for 13 years as a so-called “mercenary” is pure political theatre. This isn’t justice — it’s hostage-taking dressed up as law, and another reminder of how Russia treats POWs and foreign volunteers.

Trump publicly grading loyalists like Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth isn’t leadership — it’s a reminder that loyalty, not competence, is the qualification.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
"Trump and his team exuberantly violate just about every precept of character that I was ever taught, and so it goes with moderation and humility. They’ve normalized bragging," writes Frank Bruni. "Scratch that: They’ve fetishized it."
