The original purpose of NATO, our columnist Bret Stephens writes, was "to keep the Americans in Europe, the Russians out, and the Germans down. Under Trump, it's something like the opposite: America out, Russia in, and (the wrong kind of) Germans up."

"There's this line in that piece that says, no one has found any examples since 1865 of a president refusing to carry out a judicial decree. And that's the fear right now that is animating many of the legal experts." @sbg1.bsky.social joins Tim Miller:

Susan Glasser: Giving Away the Store to Putin
Trump is A-OK with all the murder and mayhem Russia has unleashed on Ukraine, and he's making a mockery of all his enablers who claimed he'd do a Reagan-esque kind of deal.

MOST EPIC TELEVISION FAIL SINCE THE "HEIDI" GAME: KPRC Channel 2 in Houston, the nation's 10th largest TV market, cuts away from SNL50 to its local newscast and MISSES an iconic moment in TV history: Sir Paul McCartney, 82, closing the show with "And In the End" 61 years after his Ed Sullivan debut.

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

Again, this could be a coincidence - or it could be DOGE installing back doors in agencies' payment systems so they can turn them on and off at will. One agency had a head's up for scheduled maintenance, but the others had no such alert. The systems were all offline for about an hour. END/

Want even more proof that Trump is just a leftist, anti-business, big-government NYC Democrat? Think of the BILLIONS in UNCOMPENSATED costs that businesses along the Gulf Coast must now swallow to change all their promotional material -- just because the Child-in-Chief needs to stroke his, uh, ego.

Trump's not an adult. He's a child whose intellectual and emotional maturation stopped in 7th grade. To discipline a child, take away his privileges and toys. Canada should consider seizing American-owned accounts, companies and properties there, and even U.S. military facilities on Canadian soil.

A ruling blocking Trump's birthright citizenship order wasn't issued by a liberal Democrat. It came from a REAGAN-APPOINTED federal judge. Maybe it's a sign that constitutional conservatives are FINALLY finding their backbone. Let other Ike-Reagan Republicans know it's safe to stand on principle.

I'm reading The Origins of Totalitarianism. The destruction of the perception of fact vs non-fact and propaganda to support it is intentional. We need The Fourth Estate to do their jobs well to counter this and they are failing us. There is no rule of law if we cannot agree that a fact is a fact.

I was looking at an old scrapbook of all the GOP campaigns I worked on between 1968 and 2012. I became a Republican because of what Lincoln called ‘the better angels of our nature,’ but now under Trump's thumb, my party only caters to mankind's worst, crudist, most visceral impulses. Makes me sad.
