This is a complete and naked abdication of commitment to our allies and all the world is aware. This republic and its former standing in the world is dead. There is no redemption from this administration forward. We are definitively weakened and the scraps of this empire have already been sold.

“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Yes! @billresh.bsky.social knows. Neoliberalism unleashed rent-seeking like never before. The state couldn’t continue to be an effective counterbalance to the market when public officials just opened the doors and said, “come on in and take what you want (just leave us a tip).”
Our entire political-economic-cultural era is one defined by the dominance of rent-seeking interlopers.

"This line goes down to nearly -10%"
Trump says that 100% of jobs added this year were in the private sector. That's true — but only because he's overseen a massive drop in government employees. The rate of new job addition is way under 2024. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
