I can't decide what is worse. The strongman or the people who go along with the strongman no matter how stupid he is.

Americans should know that Trump just abandoned allies with a combined GDP equivalent to US GDP, in exchange for Russia which has a GDP only 6% the size of US GDP. And Trump convinced MAGA that they were all going to be rich.

Daily reminder that Trump created DOGE. It never existed before Trump. It wasn’t a thing. He made it all up. So anything DOGE does, Trump is responsible for. DOGE is Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit
