If you wrote a story about a regime so comically evil that it literally snatches people from their citizenship interviews, you'd be accused of over-the-top imaginings.

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

⚡️ Europe's overall Ukraine aid outpaces US by $26 billion, monitors say. The U.S. still holds a $1.1 billion edge in terms of military aid only, but Washington's assistance has stalled under Trump, a report says.

This needs to be condemned publicly by European leaders. Enough with the pro-Moscow prostitution of Donald Trump. He needs to be corrected publicly and we should take the consequences. Shake the fucker until he does something so stupid it leads to his downfall. He won't nuke us. He'll just fall.

These clowns are so predictable. Trump’s envoy Witkoff says a Ukraine peace deal would include "settling the issue of five territories" — plus security protocols & other geopolitical elements, although being 'difficult'. Zelensky should tell him to shove it. www.foxnews.com/video/637149...

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

On this topic, I think a lot of those people attacking higher education over the past decade might wish to consider whether they have, perhaps inadvertently, created an environment in which hostile actors are now trying to create conditions for Harvard similar to those in Hungary or Turkey.

Escalation during a war is normal and not inherently bad. You escalate to win. It would be absolutely appropriate for Ukraine's friends to deliver missiles so Ukraine can escalate and push Russia on the defensive.

Europeans must accept their efforts to flatter or cajole Trump into doing the right thing on Ukraine have failed. Trump is on Putin's side. Europe (minus Hungary, of course) now needs either to ensure RU is defeated in UA, or prepare for Putin to attack other parts of the former Russian empire.

Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.
