"This is all governing—just not in the sense that Normalists understand it. And in this mode of governing, the lies are actually quite helpful. In fact, they’re one of the autocrat’s most useful tools."

The Trump administration’s Ukraine policy conceals a “source of future disaster,” @eliotacohen.bsky.social writes. “No one will contradict the president, and no one will raise alarms about stupid and immoral policies.”
