It appears this is the fourth worst back to back day for the DJIA in American history with a two day combined -8.65% loss, only trailing the 1929 crash, 1987 Black Monday, and the 2008 crisis.

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says Chris Hayes on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

Last year, Prabowo said that he would pardon corruption suspects if they returned what they stole. Now, he wants to build a remote island prison for them.

Scoop: UN migration agency cuts more jobs, shutters lifesaving programs from Myanmar to Yemen. At least 20 percent of headquarters slashed. "Entire units are gone. Massive loss of institutional and sectoral knowledge," one source told Devex.

No ASEAN member states voted with the United States and Russia against this resolution.
Not even Russia-dependent Laos or Vietnam, or Russia-friendly Indonesia, Malaysia, or Thailand. Even China abstained.
Who'd have imagined a German leader asking for Britain and France to extend their nuclear umbrella to Germany? A stark measure of the Trump disaster. Europeans must act together or hang separately. www.ft.com/content/8be4...

Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist.
Extraordinary.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy.
