I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

Blaming Vietnam—or Canada—is like a junkie blaming the dealer. Even if those threats work and all tariffs are lowered, how many Cadillac Escalades are the Vietnamese going to buy on a $300-a-month salary?

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Fascinating read. The storyline is pretty much my life background so far.
I saw it first hand - without being complicit of it. It’s very white, very male, very sociopathic. And now, in their full force, scary as shit.

‘Headed for technofascism’: the rightwing roots of Silicon Valley
The industry’s liberal reputation is misleading. Its reactionary tendencies – celebrating wealth, power and traditional masculinity – have been clear since the dotcom mania of the 1990s

What would happen if Joe Biden or any other President said Chuck Schumer isn’t Jewish?
Why won’t you cover the story?
Hitler also decided who was Jewish and who wasn’t.
He’s a demented sociopath.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Yup. Kind of a make a lot of sense.
A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

“Crazy answer to a valid question”. Ca fait parti de l’air de notre temps.
« If Trump really wants to make a radical departure and take advantage of some of the fear he instills in people, it is not with this juvenile Mar-a-Gaza proposal. It would be to publicly call out all the parties and challenge each of them to do the hard stuff required to dig out of this hellhole.»
“Pay attention, ladies and gentlemen: This is not just about the Middle East,” our columnist @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes of President Trump's plan to take over Gaza. “This is also a microcosm of the problem we now face as a country.”
