Tom f these guys! I watched this again this morning. I have just a favor to ask of you in your capacity as a public intellectual, please don't stop being this guy. As I said to you in a previous post, I'll stand shoulder-to-shoulder with this guy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZOr...

Bari gets a heavily promoted 60 Minutes story that would be bad for the Trump administration killed:
All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Does American pressure on Venezuela work? Tom Nichols: “Depends on what the Americans and President Trump think this is supposed to do. When we talk about whether or not this works, the question should always be: Works to do what?”

Everything is working smoothly, I see.
NEW: Tens of thousands of documents appearing to be from "Dataset 8" of the Epstein files went live on a Justice Department website today, only to be pulled down hours later without explanation.

All respect to the people who choose to serve our nation, but this branch of the armed forces did not need to exist as a separate organization
Happy birthday, Space Force! As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I'll keep working to support our Guardians, so they can continue defending American interests in space.

“The fact that the government is not releasing all information only reaffirms the need for FOIA litigation. There is absolutely no reason that the Dept. of Justice has not reviewed this material for release in the last 18 years”

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

Trump adding his own name to the Kennedy Center - a memorial institution given its name after JFK was assassinated - is the most nakedly reprehensible and insulting act of cultural desecration by any modern US president.
This is just beyond parody now. The man is mentally and cognitively unwell.
