There is no reason to doubt that this man speaks for the administration. Read it and consider where we are.

Haben die Verfechter der "Stellvertreterkriegs"-These eigentlich mal innegehalten und sich gefragt, warum der Krieg trotz 180°-Wende im Weißen Haus unverändert weitergeht?

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Dictator shit

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

Words fail me. What a betrayal of Ukraine and the entire democratic world. What a gift to Putin and despots everywhere. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Terrible news for #Ukraine, and a clear signal to allies in Europe and the Pacific about dealing with the Trump administration. This does nothing but give aid and comfort to Russia and other dictatorships. www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/p...

Friday's Oval Office betrayal was to create a pretext for this move. As long as Trump is in office, America will be on Putin's side.

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.
