"Even Putin doesn't name classes of ships after himself. Kim Jong-un doesn't name — I mean this is crazy," Tom Nichols tells Tim Miller. "We're gonna run around in circles because this unhinged old man, you know, wants to have a ship with his name on it."

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

Right now, one way of reading public opinion, you might even say a popularist understanding, is that the public is pretty unambiguously calling for a Volcker-style recession, and yet color me skeptical that an actual recession that brought prices down would be very popular.

This is the key to Republican power - constant lying, and having Traditional Media never tell you about this systematic, strategic lying. Without knowing that nothing else makes sense
Miller says immigrants erode social trust and solidarity. But immigration forges new forms of community/solidarity. It's happening right now across the country.
That Miller has to lie endlessly about the social impact of immigrants shows his view is a marginal one.

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.

There has never been, and there will never be, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The reason for this is that—under Netanyahu—Israel is a genocidal rogue state whose signature on any document is meaningless.
American media did Trump a solid by pretending that a wholly illusory ceasefire exists.
