Back in April, President Trump boasted that he “ruled the world.”
Honestly, it was hard to argue with him
But as 2025 draws to a close, Trump seems a whole lot smaller www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

There is a direct line between Mario Rubio now weaponizing the government against “censorship,” Jay Bhattacharya crying “censorship,” M Shellenberger lying on Substack about “censorship,” and the ongoing destruction of our public health, vaccine, and science infrastructure.
The US State Department is now going to be deporting people and/or revoking visas over Benz, Taibbi, and Shellenberger’s “censorship industrial complex” hoax.
