Not quite well enough: in Munich it's a Brezn or Brezen. Close though!

And it can convince the public that the shutdown was the fault of the minority Senators when those worthies give their permission for the shutdown to end and it does in fact then end. Good grief.

Too bad the EU can't swap out Hungary for Ukraine. Or maybe it can? EU 2.0 anyone?

Looks to me that the Senate Democratic caucus has just agreed to share blame for everything that Trump does in exchange for… nothing. Primary them. Primary every single one that does not call for a vote to remove Schumer as Minority Leader within the next 7 days.

There are plenty of moderate Dems who would not have voted for a Republican candidate if that was the only alternative to Mamdani. Cuomo was not seen as a Republican, regardless of Trump's endorsement.

No, it is wrong. Mamdani won in a 3 way race against a moderate Democrat and a Republican. Not comparable with the races in NJ or VA. Ask yourself: how would Mamdani have done against the Republican candidate (who got 27% in the previous election) in a head to head?

The school was St Joseph's in Hannover, PA. And the irony is that Saint Joseph is the patron saint of, among other things, social justice and immigrants.

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..." -- Janis Joplin. Seems to me that, with the exception of those marching in No Kings protests, America is no longer the land of the Free. It's the land of the too rich or comfortable to be brave.

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..." -- Janis Joplin. These people are not free. Trump has revealed what was already true: with the exception of those marching in No Kings protests, America is no longer the land of the Free. It's the land of the too rich to be brave.

Downgrade NATO to a talking shop... as an organisation predicated upon US military support it's dead anyway. Use the money and people saved to create ETO... and make sure that Hungary and Slovakia are kept out!

Actually the date, at least for the purposes of long term planning, was January 20, 2017. Any country that could elect Donald Trump once was no longer reliable.

The fundamental ideal of the EU, the principle from which all others stem, is that borders should not be changed by force. If the EU acquiesces to this in Ukraine, it undercuts its own raison d'être.

Talk to everyone you know in the US military. How they react when they are told to either shoot at protesters, or stay in barracks while ICE shoots them, is the key to a quick and relatively unbloody return to democracy... or not.

I'm afraid that this Supreme Court will simply declare any such "Republican" national stay as sufficiently important to merit different treatment.

Frankly, nobody needs more than a billion dollars. However, as a compromise, the following plan for all billionaires: 90% tax rate on all income and gains, 2% annual wealth tax, annual audit, and draconian punishments for tax evasion and expatriation. Call it The Fair Deal.
