Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

Back in February, I predicted that Trump would use Musk as a "fall guy." The fact remains that both Trump & Musk have committed treason & enabled each other's treason, & we need to be rid of both of them & Vance & Johnson.

Health experts at Yale and Penn have found that the Republican cuts to Medicaid would lead to 51,000 deaths. People are literally going to die to give tax breaks to billionaires.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

American Exceptionalism= American Narcissism. David dispells the myths that we were spoon-fed in school and continue to uphold at our peril, and the challenges created by a foreign policy strategy that wildly vacillates every four or eight years, depending on who is in power.

Here’s a reminder that Ukraine isn’t just fighting for itself: they’re on the front lines protecting all of us. From risking their lives in Chernobyl to holding back Putin’s worst, Ukraine is the real shield for Europe and the world. Listen: https://loom.ly/AuHCzzw #oligarchy #dictatorship

“The outcome is already clear: Trump wins. Musk loses. The action began a week ago when Donald Trump fired Elon Musk…Trump had gotten what he needed from Musk, and he wanted Musk gone. The firing was spun as a “breakup” or “divorce.” But in fact Musk was dumped.” www.thebulwark.com/p/how-democr...

“Currently, of the 9,000,000 acres of national forests in WA, only about 18,000 are harvested every year. A 25% increase would only be about 5,000 additional acres each year. But these federal forests have not been logged and are irreplicable mature forests.” www.king5.com/article/news...

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

President Trump promised to end Russia's war on Ukraine, but it still rages on – and Trump keeps appeasing the aggressor. It was for that reason U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, resigned. She joins me at 10aET on the critical importance of protecting democracies abroad. #Velshi

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?
