Introducing Washington Walk & Talk, a new video series from The Steady State offering short, expert-informed updates from D.C. on the warning signs of growing authoritarianism in America.

The MN GOP didn’t hold a moment of silence for George Floyd. They did for Derek Chauvin. A movement on the right has been pushing Trump to pardon Chauvin for his fed conviction. Hopefully he won’t, but his record of pardoning violent offenders when it serves his interests makes it a real danger.

Someone may have made tens of millions betting oil would fall right before Trump announced progress with Iran. If that trade was based on advance knowledge, this is not just a market story.

Steven Cash warns Trump’s proposed January 6 "settlement" resembles the kind of state-funded loyalty network or private militia support system often seen under rising authoritarian regimes overseas.

Authoritarian politics: declare a target corrupt, assign a loyalist to investigate, then insist it is just accountability.

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

CSIS: 3+ years minimum to rebuild missile inventories depleted by Iran war. Navy Sec last week: Taiwan weapons sales paused to evaluate remaining stocks. We’ve opened a window of vulnerability against China, Russia, or any adversary watching our depleted stockpiles.

A combatant commander should not have to be cornered into acknowledging the plain text of the Law of War Manual. “No quarter” is prohibited. It’s a simple question with a simple answer.

The Death Penalty: Bringing Back Real Consequences #shorts

A C-SPAN caller identifies himself as "John Barron" (Trump's known past pseudonym), ranting against the Supreme Court's 6-3 tariff ruling and calling Hakeem Jeffries "a dope." It was probably not Trump, but the fact that we can’t completely rule it out says a lot.

John Cornyn: "Judgement day is coming for Ken Paxton, maybe in more ways than one…I believe that accountability is critical, and I do believe that May 26th will be judgement day for Ken Paxton in Texas."

Don’t let them tell you that Ukraine depleted our weapons stocks. They didn’t. Completely different systems. In fact, because of Ukraine our industrial base has improved. They lie and lie. We won’t fall for it

SOUTHCOM blew up another boat in the Pacific, but this time the video is zoomed out so far you can't make out anything, other than the boat was moving. Previous to this one, it was in color, and the boat wasn't moving at all. Those are usually fishermen that they kill. #SOUTHCOM #WarCrime 1/2
