I've outlined the structure and presumptions of the National Security Strategy so you can more easily see how much of it builds off wildly false assumptions about America's strength.

The National Security Strategy's Structure and Presumptions - emptywheel
Trump's National Security Strategy envisions sustaining American power by removing brown people and women from positions of power, sustaining a failed trade war, and dictating what Europe should be.

The GOP enacted civil service reform.
The GOP will destroy civil service reform.
The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

6. Meanwhile, free the major drug kingpins that share your far right ideology.
Trump/Hegseth instruction manual:
1. Invent a war where none exists.
2. Kill people by blowing up boats that aren’t attacking you.
3. Violate your own rules of war.
4. Call in the lawyers to explain why the clear violations are not really violations.
5. Blame it on “the fog of war.”

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.
