  1. “As Europeans look ahead, seeking to put the relationship with the United States on a more durable footing, they will have no choice but to think about institutions and institution-building. That means building structures of political, defense, and economic cooperation that can deliver in the absence of U.S. leadership and that could perhaps even provide a deterrent against America’s predatory behavior in the future.”

  5. Rep. #Moskowitz is making the rounds of various podcasts, proposing a strategy for dealing with the #continuingresolution that is looming. Make the GOP defund everything that DOGE has claimed is fraud. Or make them vote for the #fraud in the #CR.

    #Democrats should not vote for either of these options.

    The only story I’ve read out of this collection is “Hernes”, a heartbreaking, heartwarming, thought-provoking, and very poetic matriarchal chronicle. Hope to get to the other stories someday.

    “In the statement on its website, Salem wrote, “It was never our intent that the publication of the ‘2000 Mules’ film and book would harm Mr. Andrews. We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews' image in the movie, book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his family.”

    Salem Media has settled a lawsuit brought by a Georgia man and stopped distribution of the movie and the book.

  13. #JohnJay (1745-1829) was the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. He knew the difference between "pretended" vs. "just" causes of war.

    The Federalist Papers, No. 5:

    "... absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for purposes and objects merely personal, such as, a thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts; ambition or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families, or partizans."

    The #IRS #DirectFile program has saved #taxpayers millions of dollars and made filing quick & convenient. Losing the program at this point would be a travesty. #US taxpayers need to be liberated from the predations of incompetent tax prep companies. Tax prep charges too much and makes too many mistakes.

    Buried in this article is the plan to eliminate the #IRS #DirectFile program which has saved #taxpayers millions of dollars and made filing quick & convenient.

    The Russians must not be allowed to retain the stolen #ZNPP and thus maintain a base from which to launch future attacks on #Ukraine.

    Look what happened in #Crimea.

  17. Jennifer Rubin at The Contrarian explains how Judge Beryl Howell (DC Circuit) threw the book at the Trump regime in her summary judgment overturning the EO against the law firm Perkins Coie.

    Rubin also chides the media for failing to point out consistently that EO’s are NOT laws and that most of Trump’s weird pronouncements will turn out to be just so much hot air.

  18. “The ability of a few wealthy people to manipulate the system to this extent—leaving two tycoons who possess the emotional register of toddlers with the power to impoverish most of the country, to their own benefit, speaks ill of the health of American democracy, regardless of the outcome.”

  19. “In a sane world, Americans wouldn’t have elevated an arrogantly ill-informed and reckless man to make the gravest possible decisions for our nation. Nor would the U.S. Senate…confirm men and women deeply ill-equipped to perform their duties.”

  21. The Triumph of a Doctrine of Cruelty in El Salvador

    “For three years El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has proudly shown the world the terrible treatment given to the country's prisoners.

    And now the U.S. is endorsing this view, sending hundreds of people removed from the U.S. to those same prisons.”

    I wish that Robert Pinsky would have finished translating the last two parts of the Comedie, but I suppose he’s retired now. His #Inferno translation is my favorite.
