Kamala Harris: "We cannot afford to be nostalgic for what was in fact a flawed status quo and a system that failed so many, we cannot advocate for or settle for a simple return to the past.
The task before us is not just a political project. It must be a project of civil renewal."

Multiple allied intelligence officials have warned that Donald Trump’s handling of classified material has created an ongoing risk that sensitive information given to the US will end up in Moscow. Several allies have now limited, sometimes stopped, what they share with the US.

"..Agreements are based on assurances the cooperators will be protected by the US. Reneging on promises made in exchange for information could hinder the ability of US law enforcement to develop relationships with potential cooperators in the future."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?
2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?
3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Pretty amazing point in history: we have an administration in place that we distrust so thoroughly that we assume we might not be told if the head of state were to die.
