Remember when some consultants warned Democrats not to run on something as “abstract” as Trump’s threat to our democracy, but to talk about health care, grocery, and housing costs?

among those countries with claims on the Arctic circle stiffens, threatens.

Anyone who really cared about “Arctic Defense,” would be doing more to mitigate climate change. Six years ago, I attended a program at the Norwegian Ambassador’s residence in D.C. about Arctic Security. As ice melt leads to a potential Arctic passage, the global competition and armed conflict

I know. I was thinking of that too. Remember how he didn’t want the cruise ships to return so the deaths wouldn’t be counted? Time and time again, he proves all that matters is “location, location, location.” DJT, DJT, DJT. Money, money, money.

Hard to care about this which reflects decades of misguided priorities & regulations when this administration is trying to bully the world & violate territorial integrity.

I wasn’t singing in the shower, but thinking about the number of people whose deaths this administration bears direct responsibility for — young, old, in the U.S. and in countries around the world stripped of U.S. Aid. Cruelty juxtaposed with the accumulation of wealth beyond measure.

A pox on his House!

Impossible to unsee it.

I was thinking about Trump’s relationship with Roy Cohn yesterday. It was a theme throughout his first term in office, sung to the tune of Paula Cole’s “Where have all the ‘cowboys’ gone?”

Grok didn't learn this on its own. It was allowed to learn it. Other AIs do not do this. If Grok is made in Musk's image, we have to ask what kind of man Musk is? The answer: a man who at the very least sees nothing wrong with child porn.

And beauty for those who see.

And look at the references! Sometime around 2016-2018, I remember listening to a French podcast where they were discussing the inordinate amount of law suits & how they were his M. O.

— how to tie people and companies up in endless litigation. The number of lawsuits this man has weaseled out of it is unreal.

I don’t know. The list of those we could blame & would want to hold accountable is dauntingly long. But I don’t hold Donnie John blameless. I think in part this country needs to take hard looks at its celebrity & wealth worship. And don’t forget, Trump learned from one of the best baddies — Roy Cohn

Couldn’t agree more. I was at the Atlantic Council’s program on Russian Interference in Elections that happened to be the morning news broke about Trump meeting Putin in Helsinki. Rubio & Warner gave their unvarnished reactions to DJT trusting Putin over US intelligence.
