“…the idea of the West is now over.” andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/requiem-fo...

Man he really called it

From an expert: "Last night was the worst night in US civil-military relations since the Civil War." Loyalty purges of the military are very, very bad.

One reason Trump is doing this is bc Trump has failed to come close to meeting his deportation promises. If that were to become a bigger narrative--if the mob learned that he was diverting NatSec resources yet is falling behind Sleepy Joe Biden's deportation numbers--Trump'd be in trouble.

"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-...

Huh

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

“Today, the personal file of resident ‘Krasnov’ has been removed from the FSB. It is being privately managed by one of Putin’s close associates,” he alleged. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Have to say Trump's new anti-drug campaign could work. Who else could make drug abuse look this wack?

Pretty sure this is the setup for Elon Musk's X Mail www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It's impossible to overstate how offensive this is to Ukrainians who are fighting and dying for their freedom.

New York, 1939

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.

DOGE cuts 9/11-related cancer research funding, which FDNY commissioner calls "a tragedy for all Americans." www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Steve Bannon: “The future of MAGA is Donald Trump. We want Trump in ‘28. That's what they can't stand. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country’s history. We want Trump!” This is what fascism looks like

This is a new level of madness. I don't know how it can be stopped

Elon Musk is now trying to flip the balance of power on the top court in one of the country’s most important swing states. Read @ariberman.bsky.social on the very high stakes in Wisconsin and the Tesla founder's plot to buy the state supreme court.

For eight decades, alliances have formed the bedrock of American foreign, trade and cultural policy. But not any more. Europeans, but also America's Asian allies, need to accept this new world, and learn how to live in it. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Donald Trump is taking America out of NATO to join the Warsaw Pact. Well done, my Republican friends. You have no character, no conviction, and your legacy will be the betrayal of the Greatest Generation's sacrifice. You are a disgrace and will be remembered for who you are.

I wrote a book called "It Was All A Lie" that made the case that Republicans never really believed in their freedom and democracy rhetoric. It was all just marketing slogans. Watch how many call out Russian agent Donald Trump openly siding with Putin. It was all a lie.

“These are the heirs of the Greatest Generation, and they turned out to be the worst generation,” says Stuart Stevens

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

You know this is 100% going to happen…

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda. www.project2025.observer?utm_source=w...

NEW: @wired.com can confirm that two DOGE members—Edward "Big Balls" Coristine and Kyle Schutt—are now listed as staff at CISA, the agency tasked with protecting US cybersecurity and keeping hackers out of critical infrastructure. @kimzetter.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

NEW: Two weeks ago gov't IT experts warned us that the worst case scenario would be if DOGE got full admin access to agency systems. We can report at at least one agency DOGE has unfettered "god mode" access. Our latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Dark Pence is back.

Whereas the wink for a bondage fetishist is that the violence, the control, isn’t real, here the wink is that it is. The facelessness, the wordlessness of it, combined with “The White House,” gives you no choice but to imagine the fascist’s pleasure. This was made to invade our minds.

AI reality setting in. Just in recent days: • Klarna backed away from all in on AI • Humane AI Pin canceled • Grok 3 didn’t meet expectations • Mathematician D Litt exposed massive hallucination in Deep Research • OpenAI implicitly acknowledged that they don’t yet have GPT-5 Look for a correction

NEW: Trump cabinet officials have embraced Jack Posobiec, the far-right conspiracy theory-peddler (Pizzagate!) who co-wrote a book last year demonizing liberals as "unhumans" & praising fascist dictators—Spain's Franco & Chile's Pinochet—as role models for MAGA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump proved conclusively last night with his deranged statements that he is an enemy and menace to our friends and allies around the world, and the best thing that ever happened to our adversaries and corrupt dictators. meidasnews.com/news/trump-s...
