Timothy Snyder: One thing that I do worry about... is that the way we fought the Iran war was obviously out of date. We haven’t learned how to fight a modern war. With Hegseth and Trump… and their just fantastic vision of testosterone plus battleships, I just don’t think we’re going to get there.

Tim Snyder on Trump's fixation with Putin: If you believe in countries, the United States is a much more powerful country than Russia. But if you just believe that it’s gangster on gangster, well then sure, Putin is a much better gangster than Trump.

A top DOD official says the military has “no plan” to deploy troops to election sites this fall. But given the Trump administration’s track record of defying court orders, violating federal campaign laws, and embracing election denialism, the reassurance is limited.

DOD tells senator it has ‘no plan’ for troops at polls. But she has ‘no idea what Trump will do’

“I take that as a positive sign,” Slotkin said. “[I] still have no idea what Trump will do."

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.
