“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
— George Orwell, 1984

Trump continues to upend the world order. For decades, U.S. Taiwan policy has been strategic ambiguity. But after the China summit, he’s publicly made that ambiguity less ambiguous, and not in Taiwan’s favor.

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 government is promoting the “rededication” of the United States to God, which collapses the line between private religion and state authority. They don’t get to define national belonging in religious terms. It’s exactly what the First Amendment was designed to prevent. #holdfast

Blanche is playing word games while DeLauro is speaking in plain English. DOJ gave Trump and his family a pass on IRS tax enforcement, which Blanche then tried to rebrand it as “customary.”

The public deserves competent health leadership. Instead, key federal health posts are vacant, and the ones that are filled include RFK Jr. Dr. Oz, a penile-implant specialist in the infectious disease chain of command and a non-scientist acting FDA commissioner. This is a crisis of competence.

The pardon power was meant as a last resort when the justice system gets it wrong. Trump is using it as a loyalty program.

The MoCA is a screening tool for cognitive decline, not an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps bragging about “acing” it as proof of brilliance should itself be disqualifying. Authoritarianism thrives on confusing basic competence with exceptional greatness.

A question about Iran, Israel, escalation, and possible strikes should trigger disciplined language. Instead, he makes the entire geopolitical situation orbit around himself in his typical authoritarian fashion.

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.

Pain in the chest this morning

Markuszower herhaalde vandaag wat hij eergisteren in de kamer zei: Mensen (kamerleden) die meeliepen met de Rode Lijn demonstratie, die (volgens hem) door Hamas is geïnfiltreerd, dan zeg ik hetzelfde: dan moet de overheid ook daar met desnoods maximaal geweld optreden.

Defend Loosdrecht "Er zijn wat fakkels die kant opgegaan waardoor er vuur is ontstaan in de bosjes. De politie en brandweer hielden netjes afstand, want na 22 dagen staan de meesten achter ons." Leugens, zie gedrag van demonstranten: brandweer tegenhouden, politie uitschelden.
