No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions.
"He was worried they'd invade Russia."
No he wasn't.
He just wasn't.
That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

Finally had a chance to read this Incredible piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social that documents Miller’s attempt to undo and reverse the 1965 immigration settlement and reveals how central this effort is to the administration’s reactionary aim to take down the New Deal and civil rights orders.

Nothing says MAGA quite like bombing Nigeria on Christmas Day, the holiday fascist republicans pretend to worship, and pretending to attack the same ISIS they claimed to have eradicated whilst also pretending they are against starting wars. Can’t make this shit up.

A little too on the nose, here.
I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

"In Trump’s second term, the Republican-appointed majority on the supreme court has brought their institution to the brink of illegitimacy," writes Ryan Doerfler and Samuel Moyn, who teach law at Harvard and Yale.
"Far from pulling it back from the edge, our goal has to be to push it off."

I didn’t see it, but, I’ve heard that last night, a senior administration official made an impassioned, yet subtly worded plea for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. Did anyone see that?
