Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

Awesome to see a write-up of Furious Minds in the New Yorker.
The contradictions of the ideas associated with Trumpism reflect a unique disconnect between thinking and reality, Joshua Rothman writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/imQD69
Does MAGA Have Ideas?
A new book traces the intellectual origins of Trumpism—straight into the void.

When you choose to advocate for others, you make the world bigger than what’s directly in front of you. It’s the first step on the road to service. And it’s a value that I hope each of our students takes on their journeys into adulthood.

Just as a reminder: Trump's doing Putin's bidding on Russia, his attacks on science at HHS and with regard to the environment, his corruption, his ICE army attacking US cities, his gutting of the DoJ and attacks on the rule of law and democracy are all much, much, much bigger scandals than Epstein.

Meanwhile, this is verbatim Nazi propaganda being pushed out by the US Dept of Homeland Security.

Trump now says that to rebel against the authority of the state is a DEATH PENALTY offense. And who determines rebellion? Why he does of course. Can it get any worse?
