Eswatini is Africa’s last remaining absolute monarchy.

In other words, it's just the kind of country—small, untroubled by democracy, and presumably eager to avoid a superpower’s wrath—with which the Trump administration has been eager to do business.

Hard to say who brokered it, but I would expect a Hawk in the Republican Party that has a little more brain power than the MAGA's. It is someone who knows Trump has leverage over Netanyahu and how to use it.

My guess is Trump finally figured out he could bully Netanyahu into peace. I don't think it will last, Netanyahu will look for ways to make it fail, because his goals haven't been reached yet.

People have stood up for farmers time and time again, but too many farmers have voted against not only themselves, but also most lower and middle income Americans. Hopefully they figure things out.

Congress must stand up for farmers and against Trump’s tariffs

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Where have real journalists gone

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 3d

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

When it comes to Trump’s immigration policy, cruelty has always been the point. But now anti-immigrant animus is being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

We may have have an army, but it is losing its head and spirt. We will be militarily weakened by this Administration to the point that China could think there is no time better than now to take on the U.S.
