Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

🚨🚨 @coe.int of Europe said yesterday that the #US formally notified it that it would leave the Group of States against Corruption, or #GRECO. Only two other countries have left GRECO before — #Russia and #Belarus. The fall of the #US on the world scene is striking. apnews.com/article/trum...
This is classic bully behavior, going after those who are weaker while sucking up to those who are stronger. Bullies are cowards.
New in PN: Trump loves Xi because he wants to be him "Trump throws tantrums and damaging trade wars at utterly imaginary sleights from close allies like Canada. Yet he falls to his orange belly to abase himself before a country that is directly endangering US troops. What is he thinking?"

Commerce quietly deleted its own rules against political interference in federal statistics. Now Census and BEA data can legally be delayed, reworded, or manipulated. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-rules-changed-the-numbers-didnt

I guess he enjoyed the catering cart.
President Trump is planning to take the Qatari-gifted jet used as Air Force One when he travels to Ireland later this month, a senior White House official told CNN, just two months after he flew it to Turkey and then secretly left the country on an alternate plane because of security concerns.

Trump’s distractions are getting more bizarre as the crises pile up. We break down what he desperately doesn’t want you paying attention to.
The amount of stupidity in this statement is incredible. Autism is not an epidemic, it is not contagious. There is zero evidence that shots cause autism. Five shots instead of one is just a way too rip off parents.
Trump: "We're telling people when you get your shots for your young child, and this has to do we think with preventing autism, that you go to the doctor for five small shots instead of one big massive shots where those beautiful little bodies can handle it"

If "communism" would be poverty, violence and the end of freedom, how would it be different from Trumpism?
Sean Hannity and Stephen Miller are in full panic mode over some Democratic Socialist wins in primaries across the country. Someone could remind them that a handful of reps is not enough to pass legislation. This is just fear mongering.

“A couple of polls that appeared earlier this week are a useful reminder of why Donald Trump is making such frantic efforts to lay the groundwork for his election interference. The reason’s simple: If he doesn’t cheat, he’s going to lose.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-real-t...

FEC is without a quorum to act. EAC is without a quorum to act. DOJ is under Trump's direct control. This is a very dangerous time for elections. My advice and request is to sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
