If you would have told me 20 years ago that the Republicans would go further to weaken the USA's global standing – call it Pax Americana, American Imperialism, whatever – than the leftists could imagine only in their wildest dreams, I would have laughed in your face.

Extrajudicial problems; extrajudicial solutions.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

Chaotic, short sighted, capricious, & cruel.
The Trump administration’s abrupt decision to repatriate the U.S. Agency for International Development’s overseas workforce has thrust the agency’s global staff into chaos and despair.
Recall of USAID’s global workforce causes havoc and distress
USAID employees stationed overseas are struggling to navigate the sudden upheaval, having received little clear information from the Trump administration.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

“The federal government absolutely needs reform, but what we’re seeing isn’t reform — it’s vandalism dressed up as innovation. And unlike Twitter, where users could move to Mastodon or Bluesky…there’s no backup government waiting in the wings when Musk’s wrecking ball finishes swinging.”
Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is.
