The original purpose of NATO, our columnist Bret Stephens writes, was "to keep the Americans in Europe, the Russians out, and the Germans down. Under Trump, it's something like the opposite: America out, Russia in, and (the wrong kind of) Germans up."
Opinion | The (Fatuous) Case for Betraying Ukraine
The organizing principle of Putin’s reign has been the restoration of Soviet power at the expense of people power.

"There's this line in that piece that says, no one has found any examples since 1865 of a president refusing to carry out a judicial decree. And that's the fear right now that is animating many of the legal experts."

Susan Glasser: Giving Away the Store to Putin
Trump is A-OK with all the murder and mayhem Russia has unleashed on Ukraine, and he's making a mockery of all his enablers who claimed he'd do a Reagan-esque kind of deal.

The long-awaited “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” opened on Sunday with the musicians Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter sharing the stage at the show’s familiar home base at Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

Again, this could be a coincidence - or it could be DOGE installing back doors in agencies' payment systems so they can turn them on and off at will. One agency had a head's up for scheduled maintenance, but the others had no such alert. The systems were all offline for about an hour. END/

A ruling blocking Trump's birthright citizenship order wasn't issued by a liberal Democrat. It came from a REAGAN-APPOINTED federal judge. Maybe it's a sign that
constitutional conservatives are FINALLY finding their backbone. Let other Ike-Reagan Republicans know it's safe to stand on principle.

Dear Donald,
If you are truly a Christian, you would never be offended by a Bishop of the Church asking you to be merciful to the powerless. To remember the teachings of Jesus Christ. But of course after the sermon you chose to call her nasty & boring. Why are we not surprised?
