"No, this is not cost-cutting or isolationism. This is picking a side – Putin’s side. Any pretence at even-handedness has gone. The tragic truth is that, kompromat or no kompromat, Trump is behaving precisely as he would if he were a Russian asset."

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...
This. Is. Illegal.
If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.
In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

No, he’s not giving Putin Alaska, but he is giving Putin a huge gift: the legitimacy of touching down on US soil at the invitation of a US president. A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.
Putin is COMING TO THE UNITED STATES? Even by Trump 2.0 standards, this is beyond belief. U.S. diplomacy is dead.
Trump says he will meet with Putin in Alaska a week from today.

If Musk wanted to start a new centrist party to attract disaffected Republicans to kneecap Trump, he'd recruite people like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
Instead, he followed Andrew Yang because his plan is to split Democrats so Trump can retain the House and Senate next year.
