New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

An important essay from my SAIS colleague @radchenko.bsky.social that offers a corrective to the view of a "no limits" Russia-China partnership. China and Russia have deepened economic ties. But they lack a true alliance. Putin is in many ways a liability. www.foreignaffairs.com/china/china-...

Every day, federal workers are proud to care for our veterans, deliver Social Security checks, keep our communities safe, and work in countless other ways to serve the public. They make the government work for working people, and America’s unions stand with them in solidarity.

Trump’s mission is simple: to exert authoritarian control over all branches of the federal government. To do that, he has to break the back of the federal employee labor movement.

Não existe resposta fácil, como querem alguns gurus. O artigo trata de algo pesquisado na academia, mas com muito pouco destaque no debate público, que é o sucateamento dos sindicatos e seus efeitos. Aqui no Brasil o governo Temer fez esse papel com maestria!!! sem-paywall.com/api/clean/ww...

Muito bom o texto do jornalista André Forastieri sobre o truque da ONG Transparência Internacional que aponta o Brasil subindo na escala de "percepção da corrupção" no mundo. A TI, que foi parceira do Dallgnoll/Moro na Lava Jato, levanta isso de novo. A quem serve? open.substack.com/pub/andrefor...

Fui questionado se a Ucrânia e a Europa não deveriam ser incluídas no debate de Rússia e EUA sobre o fim da guerra na Ucrânia. Minha resposta: Se não estão é prova de que não tem que estar. Ora, se a guerra se dá em solo ucraniano, que fica na Europa, e quem decide são os EUA, a guerra é deles.
