Devastating. We will carry this stain a long, long time…
It is beyond stunning to me (and REALLY f’d up) that this must be said at all….
It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released:
100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.
Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.
What Smith says is far more incriminating.

28 years in the navy, half in acquisition - this still gives them too much credit (as posted earlier, it’s bat***t insane and will waste billions of dollars and years of valuable time/effort)
Here. I wrote about our new, totally not complete vaporware battleship that is definitely not a massive waste of resources.

A chill wind blows…. Not good for morale or discipline, and driving good people away
Normally, military members enjoy broad First Amendment rights to share their views on social media or otherwise, but recent guidance following the Charlie Kirk assassination changes that. @frankrosenblatt.bsky.social examines the consequences of this new guidance and what it means in practice.
The Military’s Social Media Purge
Nobody can tell what’s covered by the military’s newest standards for online speech. That’s the point.

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.
