McCormick calling the Trump administration a “regime” before correcting himself is one of those moments where the truth accidentally walks into the room.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

Hillary’s 2016 National Security Address reads like a prophecy. She called his ideas “dangerously incoherent… a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.” In 2026...

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

A real disclosure process narrows uncertainty. A propaganda operation expands it. That is how you tell the difference. Transparency produces evidence, while authoritarian rhetoric produces enemies.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell, 1984
A retainer is what you pay so someone is available when you need them. Trump is effectively putting a retainer on a political mob that has already proven it will act violently on his behalf.
Posted by the WH. The standard is now that seashells are a federal threat, but the President posting AI video of himself physically attacking a critic is just “lol free speech.” Their rule is that speech is dangerous when it criticizes Trump, harmless when it comes from Trump.
Stephen Miller claims stopping fraud alone can balance the budget, but someone ought to ask for his math. Projected FY 2026 deficit: $1.9 trillion. GAO high-end annual fraud estimate, based on FY 2018–2022 data: $521 billion. That still leaves well over $1 trillion unpaid.
Democracies usually die when mainstream actors fail their gatekeeping function. To every editor, judge, university president, law firm partner, and elected official reading this: your job description just got more important. To everyone else: your job is to make sure they do.
Steady State’s Jim Petrila nails why Keepseagle is the wrong precedent. It involved Native American farmers, decades of USDA discrimination, a bipartisan waiver from Congress, a class action settlement, federal court oversight, and appellate review.
If any administration’s DHS can violate court orders 96 times in one state without consequences, then court orders become suggestions, not law.
Jan. 13, 2021: “No excuses. No exceptions...Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice.” 2025: pardoned Jan. 6 defendants. DOJ in 2026: opened a “weaponization” fund they can apply to. Rule of law stops being the rule of law when it’s enforced only against his enemies.
Why does this video seem insane? Because it is. Vance takes a felony case, flattens it into “misdemeanor trespassing,” calls Peters an “innocent grandmother,” credits Trump for a commutation issued by a Democratic governor, then uses that rewritten story to justify possible compensation.
From the Netherlands to Uganda. From strategy rooms to lived realities. This collaboration showed why Global North and Global South must meet face to face. Not to speak for each other. To listen and act together. We are redefining history. #ClimateActionNow

2/2 - Mr. Obrknežev, as a Serbian government official, has reason to be pleased: The White House strongly backs 🇷🇺 interests in 🇭🇺, while at 🇷🇸 student protests pro-Russian flags (“No surrender of Kosovo”) wave freely — and citizens carrying EU and 🇺🇦 flags are physically attacked.

Most organisations don’t have a strategy problem, they have an execution problem. This is Chris Hirst challenging the belief that the answer to organisational underperformance is always another framework, workshop, or strategic rethink.

Since 2017, (after extreme postpartum), I’ve dealt with nocturnal stress-induced seizures. I only have them while I’m asleep + when stress increases and/or i forget to take my meds. The hardest part is how they erase pieces of my memory. 💔 😣 #Seizures #Epilepsy #Postpartum #Stress #MentalHealth
