Donald Trump has laid America bare before its enemies. But Donald Trump has made America so small, and mean, and selfish, and pathetic, it almost doesn’t matter. My mother fought for a different America — and that’s my America, too. www.greatpower.us/p/happy-birt...

His resume, law students were always told, was a sign that he was among those at the top of the legal profession.

Just sent out this free midweek update. This was no ordinary Trump TACO, this was Trump accepting Iran's victory conditions as the basis of negotiations. It looks likely that Iran will emerge stronger from this war than before; a total US strategic failure. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
Josh Busby@busbyj2.bsky.social · 9mo agoThere is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important.
