American Liberals and Leftists should not be surprised if America faces a lot of scepticism even after Trump is gone from Canadians, Europe and the rest of the world as long as Democrats and DSA preach norms of international law they refuse to implement towards their own country

Everything being said about prohibitions on personal glorification and political campaigns is correct, but also note that 31 USC 1301 prohibits spending any appropriated funds for any purpose not specified in the appropriation. Doing so therefore violates the Anti-Deficiency Act and is a crime.

Congress rejected some of Trump’s proposed budget cuts. OMB is making them anyway.
President Trump and the Office of Management and Budget are accused of violating the separation of powers by attempting to unilaterally withhold funds that Congress specifically appropriated.

Lavrov told the UN today that Ru was forced to invade in 2022 because Ukraine was about to try to retake Donbas. First, 💯💯 false. But also, now you know the exact line he will use to justify Ru’s third invasion if Ukraine were to agree to give up all of Donbas in this round of useless "peace talks".

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Indeed. And a main obstacle to the U.S. playing any constructive role is its insistence on giving Russia large swaths of Ukrainian land that Russia has been unable to take by force in over 4.5 years of trying.

This is a more overt variant of a longstanding GOP gambit. They win elections promising average voters tax cuts but then give almost all of the money to their richest backers. Voters don't realize thelat almost all the money went elsewhere and remain hungry for "tax cuts" at the next election.

Important point. An underappreciated contribution of left cranks is they kept the disaffected out of right crank parties. That seems to have largely stopped in much of the West, with left crank parties either becoming less crank or less effective with voters (or both).

One key dimension of Musk’s far right propaganda push is his effort to reframe far right extremism as “centrism.” It’s patently absurd to those who follow politics, but it’s effective messaging when aimed at low info voters.

To believe that a territorial concession would end the war, you must ignore: (1) what Putin repeatedly said about destroying Ukraine, both before and since 2022 (2) what Russia has done for the territories it seized in 2014 (nothing) and (3) Russia's record of breaking solemn international treaties.
