Always remember--this is not a case of Trump appeasing Putin--its actually him joining Putin. Its not Munich 1938, its the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.

Trump says Putin launching massive strike on Ukraine is ‘what anybody would do’ 😳🤯 Tramp and JD cut off everything for Ukrainians to protect themselves and he say that’s what everybody would do‼️‼️. Are you ok with that USA!!? Really 🥲🥲 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Hi All, Just sent out a piece about a great failure of strategic leadership. European leaders failed to see Trump for what he is, but instead tried to make him what they wanted him to be. Thankfully, Ukrainian resistance has given them valuable time to make this up open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The reason why congressional Republicans are so upset about the SCOTUS ruling is because now they have to actually do their job and legislate on cuts to government spending that they claim to favor, when they would much rather prefer an unelected oligarch do it for them.

One further thought after today’s Substack post: on tariffs, Trump has been more extreme than his campaign, despite urgent warnings from business. Any reason to believe he won’t go all-in on mass deportations? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/america-is...

Just sent out a free post on the real meaning of the Trump-Zelensky press conference. Trump admitted he was trying to do Putin’s dirty work and force a bad ceasefire on Ukraine. And Zelensky refused to simply shut up and do what the enemies of freedom wanted. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

There is a major difference between today and 2017 when Trump first took office. Then people of integrity tried to ameliorate the damage he wanted to do (and partially succeeded). Now people are toadying up to Trump and actively implementing his worst ideas with gusto.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
