Meanwhile in Russia: TV pundits discussed the drastic change of America's foreign policy under Trump and how Moscow can use it to its advantage. They rejoiced that Trump's enemies are also Russia's enemies. Once again, Vladimir Solovyov threatened Germany. youtu.be/EEY1wMEqXs0?...

The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

Important to remember German history these days. After being democratically elected, Hitler turned Germany into a dictatorship is less than two months. The current loyalty purges in intelligence and the military warrant tremendous concern. #neverforget

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

G.A. Cohen pointed out that sometimes Hobbes argued that the Absolute Sovereign would reason “As I made the laws I’m especially bound by them,” and sometimes “As I made the laws I can break them as I wish.” I never thought this would ever be more than a matter of scholarly interest.
