"No, this is not cost-cutting or isolationism. This is picking a side – Putin’s side. Any pretence at even-handedness has gone. The tragic truth is that, kompromat or no kompromat, Trump is behaving precisely as he would if he were a Russian asset." www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11...

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

No, he’s not giving Putin Alaska, but he is giving Putin a huge gift: the legitimacy of touching down on US soil at the invitation of a US president. A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.

If Musk wanted to start a new centrist party to attract disaffected Republicans to kneecap Trump, he'd recruite people like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Instead, he followed Andrew Yang because his plan is to split Democrats so Trump can retain the House and Senate next year.

Ed Martin replies: "Yup"

Anna Bower responds to Martin: "Hi again, Ed. Do you think it’s appropriate for an acting US attorney to spread false info accusing uncharged individuals of criminal acts? Do you believe that to be consistent with DOJ norms and your ethical duties as a member of the bar? Looking forward to your reply!"

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
