Vladimir Putin has clearly made a calculation, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: Donald Trump, to use the language he once hurled at Volodymyr Zelensky, has no cards, and his fond wish to be seen as a peacemaker can be safely ignored.
Trump Has No Cards
Why would Putin need to make a deal with him?

Even in the annals of an erratic presidency, Trump's Alaska meeting stands out as a reversal of historic proportions. Trump abandoned his goal of an immediate cease-fire and bowed to Putin’s approach of seeking a broader deal requiring Ukraine to give up territory. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/u...

It will slowly dawn on more & more people that the only adversaries Trump sees are the American people themselves. He will make nice w/the world’s worst and use the military as a tool of oppression domestically. Private prisons, ICE & GOP Governors will all go along w/gestapo.
Imagine how much money one could make if they were to make nice with all the enemies of democracy and instead deploy USA’s military against its own citizens to feed the private prison industry. Trump gets a big cut. He’s part of something much bigger & more sinister. Wake up USA.

And I am speaking of the money it will cost to wrongfully imprison these people *now*. I’m not even thinking of the civil lawsuits to come later.
And who’ll be jailed? Single moms, veterans, unemployable persons who don’t fit any DSM-V classification. MAGAs understand literally none of any of this.

In case you doubted it, Karoline Leavitt confirmed today that the Trump administration knows nothing—nothing at all—about unhoused persons or homelessness.
They do not know how shelters work. They do not understand mental health or addiction services intake.
They are just going to arrest everyone.

Holy shit he thinks it's still called Leningrad
Clearly his brain is stuck in that first KGB-funded trip to Moscow he took in 1987, which I wonder if he even realizes is almost 40 years ago now
I suppose if his KGB code name really is still Krasnov it probably doesn't seem that long ago to him

What it’s NOT is a felony—unless you’re Pam Bondi (nothing more than Trump’s personal lawyer) and trying to bring monarchy to America. No DC jury will convict this man of a felony. She’s a fool, as well as being a tool of the fascist class.

I don’t support assaulting officers—unless they’re committing crimes and you’re trying to protect a third party—but I admit this meme is funny.
It’s partly funny because it’s exactly why this man will be acquitted, and Bondi and Pirro will look like the fascist toadies they are.

Seems like just hours ago I was saying that based on my experiences in the real criminal justice system as a lawyer—not the ideational one Trump, Pirro and Bondi have created exclusively in their minds—the sandwich-guy felony charge is going to be an embarrassment to Pirro and Bondi

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected.
Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower.

What Bondi and Pirro are learning is that trying to sell the same sh*t to a judge that you've been shoveling to idiot MAGAs who know nothing about criminal justice simply will not fly
In the justice system we say that the *most important skill for a person to have* is to know "what a case is worth"

I like this video because it lets me see my taxpayer dollars being wasted in real time, underscoring that it was always the case that Trump and Musk spoke of ending government waste, fraud and abuse because it was their way of confessing how much of our money they were about to flush down the toilet
This is sad.
New video shows FBI, MPD, and DEA agents patrolling the streets of the Georgetown neighborhoods of Washington, DC, like it’s some kind of war zone.
This isn’t a “crime emergency” — it’s pure political theater by Trump.
