Donald Trump waited hours to deploy the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021.
Now, he has no problem sending federal law enforcement officers into the nation’s capitol — advancing a takeover that would roll back home rule and silence the voices of residents.

The extraordinary moment at the NATO press conference when Trump admits he gave a foreign enemy (Iran) permission to attack a US military base.
“They said is one o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.”
He even says soldiers were still on site.
I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but that’s treason, right?

Without making any endorsements, it does seem like in a city of 8.5 million residents, it’s not too much to ask for the mayor to actually live in New York City.

Trump's moves are already imposing immense costs on the United States and on the world via lost scientific progress on preventing Alzheimer's, curing cancer, etc.
aside: a stunning comment from David Baker, UW professor who won the Nobel Prize in 2024. Now 15 lab members are looking for positions overseas.
“There’s so many amazing people who want to come in, & we can’t take them. The Nobel Prize was just a little blip. But things have gotten quite bleak.”

Some Jews worry that Trump’s antisemitism crackdown is putting them in danger

I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.
Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
