Tom Nichols: “It was very clear on day one this was a war aimed at regime change, and all of the assumptions that the Trump administration made were based on the regime falling. When it didn’t fall, they were left with a bunch of terrible options…” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Tom Nichols: “You can tell people all day long that things are great but if it costs more to fill their tank, they don’t feel that things are great, and having Secretary Wright say ‘but Joe Biden’ doesn’t fix that.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
“The only thing that I find curious is how many of those Republicans still think that clinging to this kind of burning wreckage of the administration is still their only chance of political survival when it seems like the smart move is to start running for the lifeboats.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
Josef Palermo, a Washington D.C. area artist, was hired under Rick Grenell in June 2025, to establish a visual arts program at the Kennedy Center. Soon after, Palermo began noticing shocking corruption at the Center. Courageously, he stepped forward as a whistleblower.
Tom Nichols: “[Vance] knows that this is just a poisonous war and the message coming out of this White House is very clear: JD Vance and his people didn’t want to do this; they’re very worried about how it’s going, and Pete Hegseth and his people are screwing it up.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
“60 Minutes is emblematic of the attack on the Fourth Estate, on journalism and journalists, on independent reporting, that is the lifeblood of a democracy.”—Andrew Weissmann @weissmann.substack.com
“It all came full circle with this slush fund, and the American people saw for the first time what this man and this presidency is about. And it is for that reason that I believe that the beginning of the end of this presidency will be remembered in history as this week.” @judgeluttig.bsky.social
“The idea that you should care, whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, MAGA or not, that the Secretary of Defense potentially was going to profit off of a war that he knew was coming is completely lost in the wash.” — Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social
Andrew Weissmann on the choice of Bill Pulte as DNI: “You decide you are going to choose somebody who has no experience whatsoever in the intelligence community, and in law enforcement as far as I know. Who does that? Who would pick somebody like that?” @weissmann.substack.com
Devastating words by Rev. Al Sharpton: “I think that we are seeing the end of the Second Reconstruction.”
Tom Nichols: “Who knows? We can wake up tomorrow and the president’s gonna say that he is sending 5,000 troops into Iran because—I’ll say it again— because the president is emotionally unstable and cognitively impaired person.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
