Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree.
A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”

@nicollewallace.bsky.social @mcfaulmike.bsky.social @benrhodes.bsky.social @markhertling.bsky.social have we lost all ability to put oneself in someone else’s shoes? If not, then why is this hard? We’d never consider a proposal like the one we/Putin (gross) offered Ukraine

Don’t lose sight of what matters here. Donald Trump is doing everything he possibly can to keep the Epstein files hidden. Even coming out last night and telling the House to vote to release the files. It’s all an elaborate act. He and Pam Bondi will not allow the public to see those files. It’s a great cover up.

🧵Let's talk about the obvious:
Where in the fuck did all the historic artwork and priceless furnishings go, including the gold leaf Steinway piano that was presented to FDR from the Steinway family?
Did Trump steal all this when he demolished the East Wing?
Why aren't Dems demanding to know?

LISTEN: Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's message to Allied forces taking part in D-Day on June 6, 1944:
"The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you."

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.
