Wow, this man, #CharlieAngus, is the Canadian politician leading a #boycott of the #USA, and the man who just might save us. #Canada is done with us, and it's tough to blame them.

Trump officials accused of defying 1 in 3 judges who ruled against him A comprehensive analysis of lawsuits against Trump policies shows dozens of examples of defiance, delay and dishonesty, a serious test for the court system.

Are we in a constitutional crisis yet, or no?

"A Post analysis found that Trump and his officials are accused of defying or frustrating court orders in 57 out of 165 rulings against them."

In the CIA, our Commitment to Analytic Consensus Kept the Country Safe. Trump Has Ended that. Centralizing national security around himself and yes-men sidelines thousands of world-class analysts and puts every American in profound danger.

Yes, the #Qatarplane and #crypto corruption were bad, but #Trump dictating all of national security without sober #analysis is wildly dangerous. My new article on #CIA #strategy.

Violence in Istanbul Foreshadows Our Future Under Trump We Should Expect Violent Crackdowns, Democrats in Prison, and a New Constitution

Many invoke #Hungary to predict where #MAGA is taking the #USA. But #Turkey could be more apt.

Highlights: #Trump will attempt to circumvent term limits in the #Constitution by writing a new one. Be safe out there.

Ezra Klein is Wrong: Trump and Musk are Enacting an Administrative Coup that Does Not Require our Approval to Succeed He’s one of our shrewdest political observers, but his confidence in our ability to prevent Trump from capturing kingly powers is dangerously wrong.

I love #EzraKlien, but he erred in his last #essay in the #NYTimes. The #Trump / #Musk phenomenon is far more powerful than we think.
