The most important point in this piece by the great Bob Rubin is not how the Trump admin will interfere with the election, but how that interference will torpedo the economy. In other words, if they interfere, they are destroying American democracy AND American prosperity. What a legacy.

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Carry on Mr. Chekov...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Ukraine is taking back territory, and Trump is trying to bail out Putin — the one assignment he has always taken seriously. (Note: this essay by Phillips O'Brien is from last week. See his page for this week's update as well) phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

As always, Trump is right. “Incumbent” is like “dumb.” Unless you’re a stable genius like the president, you’d never know it has a “b.” Obviously the election must be cancelled.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.
