New post on my blog, about how the #Left should be taking lessons from the actions of #MAGA about why expanding the scope of government, so that it funds nearly every economic activity in society, is prone to abuse.

The problem with the army parade is the opposite of what was expected (that it'd be goose-stepping fascism). The soldiers look like they don't want to be there, & the reviewing politicians (including Trump) look bored. This perfunctory display is disrespectful of our military.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the formation of the Continental Army, which was created to fight a king who restricted immigration, sent subjects overseas to be tried for pretended offenses, deprived many of a trial by jury, and excited domestic insurrections (see Decl. of Ind. for details).

When asked if the US should have a military parade to "show off its might," President Dwight Eisenhower said, "Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak."

For the love of liberty, do not give Trump political cover to suspend the Constitution. Protest violations of the Bill of Rights with your voice, writing, and through the judicial system; not through fists, eggs, and Molotov cocktails.

The world continues its nostalgic quest to re-live the 1930s.
🇭🇺 A dark day for democracy in Hungary.

Orbán’s regime rewrote the constitution to restrict freedom of assembly to what it deems acceptable.

Opposition MPs and activists from our member Momentum were violently removed while blockading Parliament.

✊ This is not democracy. We will not be silent!

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

🚫 Tariffs are a lose-lose.

Donald Trump’s new tariffs on EU goods will hurt businesses and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. Europe must respond firmly and united. We are open for business, but we won’t be pushed around.

As liberals, we say NO to trade wars and YES to European leadership!

#MarineLePen guilty of embezzlement. #DonaldTrump guilty of falsifying records and defamation concerning his acts of sexual assault.

Those on the right who sincerely believe in the rule of law should start casting out the "beams" within their own ranks before trying to remove "motes" (Matt. 7:5)

If you’re a fan of high inflation, you’ll love Trump’s move to add tariffs on imports of EU cars. Plenty more to celebrate in the weeks and months ahead!

This really should done on July 4, 2026. 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, Benedict Arnold the Orange returns the U.S. to the British monarchy.
“I Love King Charles,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform, sharing an article from The Sun stating that Britain’s King Charles wants to offer the US an associate membership in the British Commonwealth.
