This is the problem. Erstwhile allies were willing to view the first Trump Admin as an aberration. They are no longer under that illusion.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

Wow. Clerked for both Kavanaugh and Roberts. “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to be me.” Honor and admiration.

now that's how you write a headline www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

For years Trump & Vance have been telling us that America shouldn't get involved in other countries and in just the past 15 days they want to do that with Greenland, Panama, Canada, and now Gaza.

Recurring demands by Trump for Canada to surrender its sovereignty and be annexed by the U.S. belie the (rather weak) claim that these tariffs have anything to do with border security or fentanyl. They are an unprovoked war of aggression by economic means.

Good graphic from Pew on what the federal workforce actually looks like. “insurance company with an army” indeed
