It has been one glorious month since G7.

I have given away all the extra swag I've collected and given joy to family members who still can't believe I was there.

My itinerary is 99% set for 2026, including for a play that I became a patron for.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

"Strong Floor, No Ceiling" is the players' opening offer in next year's CBA negotiations. Like Jeffries' slogan, it'll be a loser, but at least it has the benefit of articulating an understandable goal in the context of baseball collective bargaining.

This is also true about RFK Junior
Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

The more Trump officials get angry with questions about why in in April they approved the National Guard shooter--who was a CIA trained asset--staying in the US, the more we need to press on this issue. The Trump cover up is on edge of falling apart.
