Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel and stop caving to authoritarian censorship!

If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

America first drifts inexorably towards America alone.
It doesn’t matter how powerful you are. In an interconnected world, we can’t survive without allies.

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.

The theory that Trump is nominating people who will be intensely loyal to him because they have been cast aside by everyone else feels devastatingly likely.

Trump is expected to have his cabinet announced by end of week.

Rex Tillerson was announced as Sec of State on 12/13/16
Rubio was announced as Sec of State on 11/13/24.
