The $100 million figure was not “made up.” It was a reported estimate of potential liability if Trump lost a long-running IRS audit fight.

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

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.

“Warrior-focused legal culture” is a phrase worth watching closely. In a healthy system, military lawyers help commanders fight lawfully. In a dangerous system, lawyers are pressured to make unlawful or abusive decisions look legally defensible.
A week ago, Kash Patel told Congress that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “convicted gang-banging rapist.” False.
America’s global power was built on confidence in U.S. rule of law, not just military might. That confidence has collapsed internationally, and the entire foundation of American prosperity has become fragile.
If the war is over, why are we still negotiating the terms to end it? Authoritarian governments have to manufacture victory, deny reality, and demand the public accepts the fiction the government gives them.
Trump does not simply like dictators. He likes the performance of unchecked authority. He admires leaders who appear immune to accountability, who command choreographed displays of loyalty, and who don’t have to bargain with legislatures, courts, journalists, protesters, or voters.
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.
“They turn out to be right” is the most troubling statement in this whole diatribe. After claiming he knows “very little about it,” he proceeds to endorse the idea that crimes committed on his behalf were not crimes at all, but righteous acts against a corrupt system. Unconscionable.
Washington Walk& Talk: Former senior national security officials warn that America’s checks and balances are weakening, and Congress needs to hear directly from voters like you.
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, Truth Social IS the policy channel. Tariffs announced and reversed by post.
Washington Walk & Talk: Congress has the power to check abuses in our executive agencies, but voters need to demand that oversight before unchecked power becomes autocracy.

The internet lit up after Donald J. Trump appeared to make a strange “Bulululup” sound during an Oval Office event with elementary school students. The moment, subtle but unmistakable, quickly circulated online, prompting questions from viewers across the political spectrum. F. M. P. at OGM News
The title sequence for Godzilla (2014) orientates the viewer to a hidden history of Godzilla. The images commence with cave art and pre-modern illustrations with title billings appearing partially redacted, as if the images derive from secret files, as the sequence segues to atomic test footage.

Found a black widow on the stove under the frying pan handle… I was gonna wash it… 14: when are we going to the store? Me: as soon as I kill this black widow. … 14: hope it bites you. Wha? I did not raise my kids to be like that. I’m about to tell him: I decided I’m not going to the store.

Trump and Republicans’ cuts are destroying the rural economy. Now, they want to pass a Farm Bill that cuts the programs that help our farmers and ranchers survive the crises they created.

"Canadians should have the birthright to own firearms," says The Canadian Shield podcast. "If govt decides the best way to stop [violent crime] is ensuring [police] are armed, then it stands to reason citizens on the ground have the same right to protect them-self, as the govt themselves" 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

We all know Scott Bessent has lost a few screws, but I’ll never forget when he claimed beef prices are high because immigrants are smuggling diseased cattle from South America across the border. When you run out of economic arguments, you start inventing barnyard fan fiction.
