Trump’s Year of Anarchy The unconstrained presidency and the end of American primacy.

If the last 7 days have shown us anything, it's that our government really believes in a world that is truly Hobbesian all the way down. @dandrezner.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

There are no words left. God speed, America. What a beautiful human.

Unfortunately right now we have to rely on either the Supreme Court or spineless Republicans in Congress to end this shit.

This also proves to every country that whatever “deal” you make with Trump is utterly worthless.

For sure, we have our Maple MAGAts up here (mostly disaffected white folks - quelle surprise), but they are a small minority. What Secretary Bessent has done will only serve to further mobilize the resources of the anti-separatist movement. Oh, and guess how the indigenous communities will vote?

It's all such a sad, sad freak show.

Anything by Eric Larson, but given these times, start with 'In the Garden of Beasts'. He's a fantastic writer.

'Verbally' ? Are you kidding? He's declared economic warfare on Canada and what would you call the threats against Greenland? Sorry, but your description of what's happening perfectly describes the denial of actual reality. Most Americans just don't get it.

It was a good discussion - thank you!

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Gosh, this sounds more like a Pitchbot headline.

Why are people still calling him The Leader of the Free World. There's a Free World out there that sure doesn't believe this fiction.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

I agree that she made TERRIBLE decisions, but why are none of these much older men paying any price? Lizza won't be happy until her life is over, and Olbermann, Sanford and RFK Jr. are abject disgraces.

This brilliant article, Tom Nichols, will be quoted in the history books of the future. Well done, sir.

It's utter madness and will get worse, much worse, before it gets better.

If this had been written more than a year ago, we'd have thought it was from The Onion, not PBS News. How times have changed in America. What a freak show.

YES! Thank you so much. I wish more were like you, Mr. Global.

You 2 rock. I tried so hard to get tickets. But, I couldn't get Taylor Swift tics either, so them's the breaks. Love your work!

Good Start

Looking forward to the other half. Sorry.

One could describe them as sheep, but that would be an insult to sheep.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social , you WIN the internet today 😀

Well, Mr. and Mrs. Bezos did have a big fancy wedding, after all.

Canadians are no longer scared of this crap. Bring it on. We'd rather starve and freeze in the dark than capitulate to this freak and his band of fascist supporters. I've travelled to >25 states, several multiple times. Never expect to set foot south of the 49th again in my lifetime.

In Gaus We Trust!! We're worried up here🇨🇦 that we'll be tariffed extra for every game the Jays win!

Oh, yes. We Canucks are beyond upset. Totally done with the madness. How are Americans letting this happen? Sadly, I think we know the answer to that. It's what they wanted. They voted for it and they got it.

You're 100% correct. Watching with horror from north of the 49th. HOW are people not ENRAGED at the destruction of the beautiful and historic East Wing. I think we're more pissed about it up here than are most Americans! WTF is wrong with this universe.

How clever and droll you are, Spencer Kornhaber. What a killjoy. Personally, I think it's a fantastic album. Have a glass of champagne and dance a bit - you might like it!

It's just so sick, freakish and disgusting.
