The US govt probably has more info on each foreign student that arrives than it does about some of its own citizens.

This is major. As a reminder, DOGE stormed the USIP building in March with the help of DC Metro Police who were originally called there by building employees. Even tho, USIP owned the building, DOGE just…took it. Background: www.thehandbasket.co/p/us-institu...

Jake Tapper was interviewed on R4 about his new book on Biden's mental decline. Not asked about what lessons should be learned right now. Not asked about what he thinks of Trump's current state. Offered nothing himself. Incredible journalism.

Before the election, those worried about aspects of Starmer's approach were told by supporters not to worry, it was all for the election and he would govern more from the left when elected. Instead, he's shifted even further to the right and seems determined to continue down that path.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

It is fascinating the way you can take money from hungry children or disabled people without consequence, but try to limit the amount that goes to rich pensioners and everything implodes.

Kellogg is going seriously off message here as far as the Trump administration is concerned: praising the Ukrainians, the Europeans and denying that Russia is on the cusp of victory. Unfortunately, it probably means he will be further marginalized rather than signalling a change in the US approach.
