If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.

What do voters think about Elon Musk and his rampage through the US Government? A banger episode of The Focus Group pod with @karaswisher.bsky.social ‬⁩ who blows my mind with a couple of insight about Elon’s endgame.

It won’t be long before Felon 47 and his Republican Party try to convince Americans that we need to pay for a support package to help Russia rebuild military bases, supply depots, and weapons depots depleted or destroyed during their war in Ukraine.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

I'm sending my fourth weekly dispatch of how the US media *should* be covering the unprecedented coup by Musk's junta later this morning. Sign up here to get it straight to your inbox: www.doomsdayscenario.co

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities get demolished. The most beautiful domes. FOX: But that's Russia's fault, Mr President T: 1,000 year old domes. Everything is demolished. It's sorta like Gaza F: That's Putin's fault T: I get tired of listening to it

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine). But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

This is the best refutal of Trump's lies about Russian & Ukraine that I have seen. Interesting that it is done by Bernie Sanders. Where are other US politicians? youtu.be/rKBM2kS6B8o

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Leading expert on democratic collapse says most authoritarian regimes start by seizing control of government agencies with power to regulate and prosecute. Trump is already, right now, closely following the path to entrenching an authoritarian regime.

After talking to sources on every side, it's become clear the stakes in the Eric Adams case are far higher than one man's fate. MAGA is looking to tame the famously-independent US Atty's office in Manhattan. They're trying to take DOJ's "crown jewel" for itself. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat warns on my show that Elon Musk has waged a "new type of coup" youtu.be/z8Lrd8FM6mA?...

Munich Security Conference chair gets standing ovation when he can't finish his speech acknowledging the U.S. is no longer a reliable partner. #3E

All these plane crashes must be real hard on Republicans who can’t blame Pete Buttigieg.

Have y'all heard of the Project 2025 Heat Map that outlines how 1/3 of the goals have already been achieved? Check out this site and follow: www.project2025.observer Call your representatives and ask them if they are aware of this site and how much of their plans have been implemented.

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

Along with the fact it was posted on X instead on TruthSocial, this is a way you can tell Musk wrote the post, not Trump.

Walking the dog. Like I do every day. She pooped. Like she does every day. I picked it up with a little baggie. Like I do every day. But today, instead of waiting to toss the bag of fresh, steaming dogshit in a trash can at home, I left it on the hood of a double-parked Cybertruck. Where it belongs.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

There are protests at Tesla dealerships across the country tomorrow. There are protests at state capitols on Monday. This pillaging of our democracy and our literal treasury will not be abated unless good, ordinary people stand up and turn out.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. Incredibly, they didn't know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts
