No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

This year’s prize goes to Liz Cheney. The former congresswoman soared sky-high above politics-as-usual in Washington by taking a principled stand that cost her power, friends and the money that comes with status in the capital.

用美元支持加密货币,现实主义外交和贸易保护主义,也是同一件事情的不同侧面,但这等于是放弃美国现有的所有优势,往前推动一点都会引起相当大的震荡。

The Chinese government espionage campaign that has deeply penetrated more than a dozen U.S. telecommunications companies is the “worst telecom hack in our nation’s history — by far,” a senior U.S. senator told The Washington Post in an interview this week.

週遭風雨城如斗,淒愴江潭柳,昔時曾此見依依,爭遣如今憔悴不成絲。
等閒歷了滄桑劫,楓葉明於血。隙憐畫筆太纏綿,妝點山容水色似當年。
秋來凋盡青山色,我亦添頭白。獨行踽踽已堪悲,況是天荊地棘欲何歸。
閉門不作登高計,也攬茱萸涕。誰雲壯士不生還,看取築聲椎影滿人間。

川普这一系列操作的目的是为了建立一个平行政府,一个属于他自己的deep state。减少监管,打击woke和裁减冗余只是Casus Belli. 如果是要开除“woke”军官或者裁撤冗员,总统自身的,合理合法的权力就可以做到了,不需要单独搞个warrior board或者DOGE,这两个机构就是想要架空现有的政府。军队,情报机构和国务院是所谓的“deep state”的主场,除了卢比奥可能是留下的一点面子以外,其余阁员全是用忠诚的素人凌驾在庞大的官僚机构之上,也就是没有想让国家机器正常运转。有没有recess appointment可能并不那么重要,因为Thune的当选大概是川党预计到了的,
尽管存在诸多争议,川普仍提名马特·盖茨为司法部长,此举引发广泛关注。盖茨以其对司法部的尖锐批评和对川普的坚定支持而闻名。然而,他的法律经验相对有限,且曾面临性交易指控,尽管最终未被起诉。这一提名在共和党内部也引发分歧,部分参议员对盖茨的资格表示质疑。川普此举被视为对司法部的强硬表态,意在改革其运作方式。然而,盖茨能否顺利通过参议院的确认,仍存在不确定性。此提名反映了川普在组建内阁时,倾向于选择与其理念一致且忠诚的盟友。
