Less discussed in the new National Security Strategy than America's abdication of global leadership is the document’s frank embrace of far-right narratives on Europe, with a strong whiff of white nationalism.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

Dozens of people arrived at Indianapolis Union Station thinking they'd become U.S. citizens only to learn their participation was "canceled."

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Nothing would make Putin happier than having Trump destroy the US-EU relationship and having the US ditch NATO.

That's his Christmas list of idea outcomes.
Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.

The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.

We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

"While trust in government has been low for decades, the current measure is one of the lowest in the nearly seven decades since the question was first asked."

The story of how The Blaze (Glenn Beck's 'news outlet') outright and wrongly accused a former Capitol Police Officer for the Jan 6 bombings based on flimsy evidence is a massive media scandal.

I hope both Beck and The Blaze are sued into oblivion for what they did.

The Blaze’s Burn Notice
A sensational claim by Glenn Beck’s outlet suggesting a conspiracy among law enforcement to frame Trump supporters over Jan. 6 has gone up in flames. Now the outlet is facing the fallout.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Warner is right. Leaders have a duty to protect U.S. troops from being ordered into unlawful situations, not push them toward potential war-crimes liability. Hegseth’s pattern of chaos and disregard for procedure endangers the force, not the enemy. #holdfast #steadystate
