This strikes me, to use one of my (many) favorite French expressions, as une question mal posée. The problem is not, are we having a constitutional crisis? Only an idiot would deny that. The real problem is that we are experiencing overt constitutional failure. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

3 years after Russia's invasion, Ukraine’s fight is the world’s fight. This war isn’t just about territory—it’s about sovereignty and democracy in the face of tyranny. Abandoning Ukraine means surrendering to brute force. Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

This week, we have seen leaders in western Europe forced to move from fumbling cautious politeness to action as a result of the Trump’s various & wild pronouncements. There's no reason to think Australia's national interests will not be directly challenged in a similar way. Laura Tingle #auspol

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Remember this ad from 2012? Some things never change, and some only get worse. Trump and the MAGAs lied when they said they wouldn't touch Americans’ Medicaid. The billionaires need him to slash $880 billion to fund their $4.5 trillion tax cuts. You know what I say to that? DON’T CUT MY MEDICAID!
