America spent 80 years building the most powerful alliance network in history. We blew it up in 12 months so one man could feel important. China is laughing. Russia is relieved. Our allies are making backup plans. Let’s flush the toilet of bad history. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Before breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, Jackie Robinson served as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army. That part of history no longer exists on the Department of Defense’s website as part of the Trump administration’s DEI purge.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Who's running this country:
MUSK
Donald Trump or
Elon Musk?
Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it's time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk.

First day after a major storm disaster with fatalities & destruction across multiple states and Trump goes to a car race in Florida. Second day after a major disaster and Trump plays golf in FL. Dozens of posts about himself during that time. Not one word about the disaster.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day.
Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform.
Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity.
We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few.
But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong.
It is also contrary to the rule of law.
The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair.
We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.
