In reality, NATO does valuable things for the US every day.
Intel sharing, defense/deterrent coordination, basing rights, an American as Supreme Allied Commander, support after 9/11, and more.
And America is throwing it away.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.
But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

To the extent that you agree with Project 2025 and the Trump administration that America is an ethnic heritage-based project, @washingtonpost.com is a pro-American paper. To the extent you see it as a creedal values-based project, the Bezos WaPo is an anti-American paper.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Chased him down, tackled him, put him in a chokehold, and dragged him through the snow.
He repeatedly told them he was a U.S. citizen.
They didn't care. Cuffed him and threw him in a car.
