People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

"The political class overinterpreted the 2024 results in a really grotesque & irresponsible fashion that might have been catastrophic ... I strongly suspect this idea that American culture had embraced Trumpism, had embraced right-wing populist nationalism, made institutions more inclined to fold."

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will impose tariffs of 50 per cent on a wide range of Canadian exports, a dramatic ramping up of his trade war against his northern neighbour.

The 50 per cent rate is being imposed in response to what a senior administration official described as Canada's retaliation against U.S. trade policy and its discrimination against U.S. motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.

"This is not a trade war with Canada, these are defensive measures," the official said in a conference call with reporters Monday afternoon.

The new rate is set to take effect in 30 days.

While energy, potash, critical minerals and fish would be exempt, other products that until now have been allowed into the U.S. tariff-free under terms of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) would be hit.

As I wrote when the rule was finalized: Trump has already made the civil service effectively at will. The purpose of the new policy is to formalize this practice, to give it a legal framework that SCOTUS can sign on to. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trumps-sch...
The new Schedule F becomes the most definitive legal pillar of the administration’s personnel policy for a President that has largely relied on ignoring personnel law, hoping to win in court. The Trump administration wants a legal fight to embed unitary executive theory and kill the civil service system, and have invested a lot of effort into building that vehicle with this rule. The ultimate audience here is not the public, or Congress, but SCOTUS.

This is the height of foolishness. “We will pretend we don’t want to hold this person accountable, since we can’t reliably do it.” You’re conceding that the rules bend to accommodate the powerful. It is an implicit admission that Trump is above the law.

Even for a degenerate like Johnson, this is a stunning misrepresentation. Just War theory delineates when it is permissible to go to war if there are no other appropriate options & what the ethical limits to how such a war can be conducted. Preemptive attack for incoherent reasons is not covered.

A second panel shows a smug person pointing to a similar newspaper, with a speech bubble reading “NO,” and text explaining that, according to Betteridge’s law, the most likely answer is no.

Some of the same purity-politics voices spent months slapping genocide slogans on Biden and Harris. Then came protest votes, third-party splinters, and now we are all living with President Trump. Fractured coalitions have real consequences. And Track AIPAC rides on that. 14.
