"Congress is complicit in handing over their power to the executive branch," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social. "[Project 2025] wrote a line about Congress that, given the choice between being powerful but vulnerable or irrelevant but famous, most members of Congress have chosen the latter."

"What [President Trump is] interested in at any given moment is 'am I winning?' and 'is this a victory?'" said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social.

Where are we in U.S.–Canada relations? "Well, if Donald Trump gets his way, there will be no border. It'll be another part of the United States," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"I was on the ground in southern Iraq on the day that Saddam's forces left the southern city of Basra," said @sbg1.bsky.social. "The American and British officers we spoke with had no idea what they were doing there. They didn't know what the goal was."
What would be the consequences of a semipermanent hostility between Canada and the U.S.? "They’re massive trading partners with each other, so it would hurt the Canadians more because they’re more dependent on us than we are on them, but it would hurt us as well," said Idrees Kahloon.
Where did Stephen Miller's politics develop? "The thing that most struck me in talking to him years ago when I was profiling him was how much of his political worldview was forged in opposition to his upbringing," said @mckaycoppins.bsky.social.
"You've had the purging of the press. ... I think it's a notable thing. I'm a former Pentagon correspondent," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "It's like [Pete Hegseth] doesn't want to face — not any dissent, because it's not a matter of dissent, but even questions that veer from the orthodoxy."
"Trump is really good about asserting his own reality ... but Americans aren't going to buy it if things don't change and change soon. And even if they do improve, the higher prices are going to remain for a while," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.
"It is hard to prosecute in a state court these types of matters. ... Whether or not [the ICE officers] were protected by immunity, that doesn't seem to be the case," said Vivian Salama.
The state of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire remains fragile. President Donald Trump said Monday that the latest Iranian proposal was a "piece of garbage," and the ceasefire is "unbelievably weak" and on "life support."
"It is hard to overstate [Stephen Miller's] power inside the Trump second-term White House, in part because his purview is so much broader than just immigration," said @ashleyrparker.bsky.social. "It includes trade. It includes foreign policy. It includes national security. It includes education."
"[Trump’s] arguments about Greenland have been farcical I think for a long time, and people have understood them as farcical until such point as they can’t afford to," said Stephen Hayes. "Europeans and our allies and Canadians, they can’t afford to have the seriously/literally debate."
"I think, you know, there were Arab diplomats flooding Washington ... saying it's going to be different this time," said Felicia Schwartz. "Trump has been able to do things that everyone told him he couldn't do, and I think some of it was confirmation bias."
Days before Memorial Day, Trump waved off the 13 Americans lost in his war of choice with Iran—"somebody else would have lost 100,000 people"—reducing 13 grieving families to a talking point.

Imagine for a moment how Fox News would respond if Joe Biden kicked out critical reporters from the Pentagon—and then did not follow a judge's ruling to let them back in. Watch the full episode of Power Lines here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0185...

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

Trump's White House is full of liars and crooks. And they're trying to get you to believe the opposite of what your eyes, ears, and wallets are telling you.

I've been contacted by local residents about another potential pollution incident in the Loop River. I've informed NIEA and Andrew Muir's office, but both I believe are weak and ineffective. It's not a question of if, but when water quality becomes a risk to human health in NI.

I've already mentioned they were Ice officers and mercenaries. Israeli United States futures act of 2026 brought to the floor by Kristen Gillibrand would merge the US and Israeli military. They would share everything. This is a silent takeover of America by the Zionists.
