2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

A quick plug since I just learned #idpol and #idleg have made their way to Bluesky (sorry I'm late): @kevinrichert.bsky.social and I are back at the Statehouse covering education policy for another legislative session. Here's how you can follow along:

A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released. Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

The Nobel Foundation makes yet another statement:

We must win back the House & Senate.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

(Hot Take TM) Providing mutual aid as part of campaign work is a good thing that candidates should do more.

The midterms are the last chance for Democrats to hold Trump accountable at the national level before he leaves office (unless he attempts to follow through on his musings to seek an unconstitutional third term).

TikToc & Meta are sponsoring Turning Point USA’s conference.

BREAKING: Brown University says no one is in custody, correcting earlier statement, as police respond to an active shooter on campus.

The RFK, jr effect.

On June 6th, the first day of Trump's Invasion of Los Angeles, I was teargassed for the crime of handing out water at an anti-ICE protest. My story isn't unique. 1000s of protestors & journalists were brutalized for standing up against fascism. Join us tomorrow to demand reform & accountability.

Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Reposting.

Narrator: “That process will not begin immediately however, as the Trump admin furloughed 80% of the National Nuclear Security Administration federal workforce, the same workforce that preps for nuclear testing.”

A representative of the University of Washington stopped short of saying WWAMI would sever its Idaho ties. But cutting Idaho’s program threatens the partnership — and its 53-year-old business model. #idaho #idleg www.idahoednews.org/top-news/uni...

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Federal agents would never have dreamed of doing this at a similar event where most of those in attendance were non-Latino. | Opinion
