President Trump withdrew the U.S. on Wednesday from dozens of international organizations intended to foster multinational cooperation, cutting ties with a wide range of prominent forums addressing international security, law, trade, economics and human rights.

Here's a vicious attempt to destroy the rules-based international order since US funding is crucial to many of these institutions. The US wants to go it alone not realizing how much these international organizations do for us. Insanity amplified by arrogance.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day. Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained. Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

What a bizarre performative takeover in Venezuela where the actual government denies it has been overthrown and continues in power. There is a huge gap b/w Trump’s statements and the facts on the ground. A lot of anti-Maduro Venezuelans are going to be pretty upset when things stay exactly the same.

Here's a dangerous effort to carve out a loophole in presidential war powers big enough to drive a tank through. If such an authority existed, the president could invade anywhere, anytime, without involving Congress—just by claiming, without proof, that an attack is "imminent."

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
