AZ AG Kris Mayes: This is a coup by Trump against our Constitution, because they are violating not only the separation of powers but also the court orders We have federal judges saying to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, “Stop this now,” and yet we believe they are violating those orders.

We Europeans must be careful not to get caught up in Trump's storyline and process. We must remain in control of the agenda—which means rejecting his. Let's not repeat his tale of “peace talks,” because that's already giving in to Putin. Let's have instead a narrative of victory—Ukraine's and ours.

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

The greatest success of Putin's systematic mental warfare is that national conservatives in Western countries, who have traditionally been fiercely anti-communist and anti-Soviet, see him as an ally. In contrast, he sees them as useful idiots.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

1. Distrust of Americans is spiraling across the world. This damage is permanent. Do ordinary Americans understand this? No one is going to place trust in a people that elected a criminal who enriches himself, extorts those in difficulties, tells lies to smear the heroic and kills the weakest.

The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy - Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)
