No wonder Trump is blustering about nuclear testing, whatever he means by that.

Russia’s nuclear powered torpedo and its nuclear powered cruise missile make an obvious joke out of Trump’s Golden Dome - which is looking to defend against high flying attacks, not undersea or ground-hugging ones. However, even for its stated purpose Golden Dome would bankrupt us and never work.

🚨 JUST IN: President Donald Trump has an opportunity to avoid the dangers of an unrestrained nuclear arms competition—something he has repeatedly warned about. Will he seize it?

Putin just gave Trump the opportunity to maintain nuclear restraint. Will he seize it?
Extending New START will also give time for Trump to work with Russia and China on future arms control accords.

Trump says late-night comedians are not allowed to only say negative things about him, and threatens their licenses. Since the Executive Branch is supposed to be implementing the laws passed by Congress… isn’t this is a violation of the first amendment?

A Sovereign Wealth Fund for a country with a debt to GDP ratio of unity puts that country at great risk, and - in this administration - puts immense economic power in the hands of those who will surely use it to benefit themselves at the expense of the people. Can you hear the sucking sound?
