Not that surprising that Trump delegates to some random guy Witkopf, who delegates to Putin's aides, who do the actual work that Trump wants to take credit for and that Putin benefits from.

We do have a State Department for this stuff, by the way.

AI will surely soon take over jobs from professional to menial, therefore it's worth valuing each company more than most developed economies. Simultaneously: when I search HBO for "thoughts and prayers," it's totally unable to find their new documentary Thoughts & Prayers. Too complicated.

Blood pressure high

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.
Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Holding off the Russians means “finding ways to compensate for Ukraine’s desperate shortage of manpower,” Robert F. Worth writes. Kyiv has found ingenious methods of staying in the fight:
Ukraine Might Be Winning Its War of Attrition
Russia assumed time was on its side, but a new Ukrainian strategy is yielding surprising results.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

Trump’s weakness creates huge openings for a whole series of unelected figures whose main difference consists in having different motives and methods of wrecking the government.
For all intents and purposes, the most powerful person in the federal government is Stephen Miller, not the President.
The Deputy Chief of Staff... is in charge of military strikes? Do we even have a president?
