My latest: "King" Trump Will Make Dictators Great Again At The Expense of America & Our Allies Trump seeks to recreate Putin's dictatorship at home. In doing so he's willing to throw Ukraine, our allies & the American people, especially his voters, under the bus. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Trump's comments about the war in Ukraine sounded straight from a Russian propaganda playbook. It's disgusting. The Ukrainian people did not start this war. Vladimir Putin did. The staggering suffering and destruction they have endured is all because of Vladimir Putin.

CONFIRMED: Trump has banned Associated Press from the White House & Air Force One for refusing to use the term “Gulf of America”. The WH Press Sec accuses them of ‘pushing lies’. At this point, EVERY reporter should have walked out. If the media won’t defend the 1st Amendment what are they for?

A very important part of being a politician is making your supporters feel like they have a voice, validating what they are seeing in the world. And what Democrats are doing instead is making their supporters feel like they’re losing their minds, and are completely on their own

I had insomnia the night Russia invaded Ukraine and watched it unfold in real time. And tonight watching, here in London, that's what it feels like again. A dark, implacable malevolent takeover. That's accompanied by almost total silence amid so much noise. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.

As a parent of two kids with special needs, I'm pretty damn excited to know that a racist billionaire who routinely uses the slur "r*tards" is destroying the federal department that's a bulwark for special education and support for disabled children.

The elimination of USAID and the NIH funding cuts are bad for pharma and agro interests. Asking once again, why are business elites not out protesting these massively illegal moves that can devastate large parts of the US economy? Why are they willing to let one businessman get so powerful?

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

DOGE plans to slash about as much ($4B) from NIH, and hence from universities and medical centers, as the government gave SpaceX ($3.8B) last year. It's not about the money and government "waste." It's never been about the money or government "waste." www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

When the NIH and NIS give out grants they give out extra money for operating costs, usually 55%, Harvard is as high as 86%. Trump just capped it at 15%, crippling US science and heath research.
