When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here
With astonishing speed, the administration has toppled the most cherished pillars of a free society. And the experts agree: It’s all going to get much, much worse.

When I read the DOJ statement, I just thought, what clowns. But after a moment’s thought I am more incredulous and suspicious.

A million documents? When they’ve been on high alert for months? And DOJ and FBI do have filing systems. (That’s why they’re the Epstein FILES.)

Something’s rotten in DOJ.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

A few months ago Pam Bondi was saying there was nothing to release
The FBI was supposed to deliver all the Epstein files to @AGPamBondi's desk by 8 AM on Feb. 28, 2025. That's almost ten months ago. This seems like something @JusticeOIG would need to dig into www.justice.gov/ag/media/139...

His entire career is based his anti-woke views!

Without them he’d be an expat who couldn’t get published because his writing is almost comically bad. The anti-woke grift is all he has!
it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

This US Russian attempt to carve up Europe appears to have come directly out of the Kushner Witkoff Russia talks in Miami.
Just days before Christmas madman Trump escalates his assault on Europe. Putin is no doubt loudly cheering all this in Moscow.

Denmark is part of both the EU and NATO.
Let's remember that Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who is happy to try to overturn Greenland's democracy for Trump in 2025, was also happy to try to overturn US democracy for Trump in 2020. Rotten people are consistently rotten. 1/

A few years back I asked a former intel analyst who worked this file about what kind of accountability (if any) he expected for Russian atrocities against Ukrainians.

His response:

“The Israeli model.”
⚡️ Moscow explosion kills 2 Russian police officers tied to Ukrainian POW abuse, intelligence source says.

Ukrainian intelligence sources said the officers had previously taken part in Russia's war against Ukraine and were implicated in the abuse of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs).

I noticed a change in the last few weeks in how the NYT describes gender affirming care. They now use the term "gender related care" in their coverage. This term had only been used sparingly (4 times) prior to this year. Now it's becoming ubiquitous in standard coverage.
