The White House needs this.

Bigot in baby oil.

What on Earth does legitimacy have to do with gerrymandering? If this were a thing voters gave a shit about it would have been dead two centuries ago. They don’t. It’s abhorrent, but there’s no POLITICAL downside.

"They cling to the illusion that they can preserve their independence and integrity while making deals with a strongman..."

I would go further: If you believe this strategy will work, you know nothing about authoritarian rule.

Resistance is the *only* strategy.

This totally makes sense for Zelenskyy. It’s clear that whatever Trump is going to do or not do for Ukraine is not going to depend on Zelenskyy maintaining credibility as a democrat.

Ex-ambassador to Hungary: "[T]he real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence....

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

Trump: “I love children.”

Also Trump: Burns food that could feed 1.5 million children for a week.

State Dept. layoffs led by team of outsiders willing to ‘break stuff’ Interviews with more than 60 people detail a frenetic, arbitrary process underpinning the Trump administration’s far-reaching overhaul of the State Department.

This is shameful - and utterly stupid. It's not only dead wrong to treat this way those who give their lives to serve our country, but it's taking us out of the fight for our interests around the world. China & Russia are laughing, and taking our place.
