I never really loved his personality, but he's gone off the rails lately. I just want someone with all of his policy positions who is a decent person. There's no reason we can't have both, except that it seems very hard to get within reach of the presidency if you are a populist (on either side!)

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

This week, the House votes on DHS funding. I will not vote to give ICE a single cent. No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

I re-watched Inglourious Basterds not long ago, and one of the things Tarantino gets so right about his Nazis (and authoritarians more generally) is how mundanely self-interested they are. Hans Landa's ideological commitments to the regime are minor; his ambition is everything.

‘Fight back and don’t let them win’: actor Pedro Pascal decries Trump’s attacks on artists
Comments at Cannes come after US president’s social media posts against Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift Pedro Pascal has sharply criticised Donald Trump’s attacks against artists, as the director of a conspiracy theory satire starring the actor said he feared the political messages of films could be weaponised by US border guards. “Fuck the people that try to make you scared,” the Game of Thrones and The Last of Us actor said at a press conference at the Cannes film festival, promoting Ari Aster’s new film Eddington. “And fight back.
