1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The Economist has said that the time to be really alarmed is when Donald Trump ignores a court order. Did it just happen? Yes. And judges should stand up to it through whatever resources they have. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...
The judges Trump scorns should stand their ground
The rule of law is at stake

DeWine is likely to sign into law the most dramatic ending of academic freedom in the modern history of higher education. There are even deeper red states that aren’t doing what Ohio’s doing.

The end goal is to make education a privilege for children born into wealth while destroying the meritocracy that is at the center of the American dream.
Donald Trump’s order dismantling the Dept. of Education is yet another attack on our children’s future. This isn’t about empowering states—it’s about gutting protections for students, slashing resources for public schools, + abandoning families who rely on federal support as a pathway to prosperity.

NYT thinks this is insightful analysis. It's moronic. Yes the victorious allies redrew Europe's boundaries at the end of WWII. But here the US is not a combatant power. It's stabbing Ukraine in the back and hoping to get scraps from the table left by Russia.

Trump and his henchman Musk treat America’s oldest allies as enemies. Britain can’t face that threat alone | Jonathan Freedland
The president-elect’s hostility towards other democracies is already clear. There will be no special relationship with him: we should look to Europe, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland
