No longer beating a cracked kettle for bears to dance to. Now moving the stars to pity.

ICE and Border Patrol have maybe 50k active officers combined. The Nazi SS had about 250k in 1939. The fact that I’m making serious comparisons to Nazi Germany highlights how bad things have gotten. And it also shows how much worse they could be. It’s important to keep both of those in mind at once.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Key GOP Senator Cassidy explains why he's supporting RFK Jr. ( Hint: Because he is the Neville Chamberlain of our time..a man befuddled by how to do the right thing and still keep his miserable job).

Just a reminder that U.S. support for Ukraine sends a clear message that aggression and territorial violations will not be tolerated, deterring other potential aggressors worldwide. If the Trump administration fails to deliver aid, I would expect people to take to the streets. Slava Ukraini.

It is probably true that local politics define the contours of frustration with democracy country by country, but it fails to take into account the pernicious impact of technology in spreading hyper-pessimism on a global basis. Democracy has never been tested tested in this way before.#democracy
