Tiny Johnson. "the whipsawing moves of a leader who derives his influence entirely from President Trump and defers to him routinely, and who must live in constant fear of being thrown overboard by restive Republicans willing to oust a speaker who compromises with Democrats to get something done"

The tragic irony of the last few years is that, had the USG given Ukraine only a fraction of the weapons that they have expended against Iran in a few weeks (Patriots, Tomahawks, etc), Ukraine would have won, oil prices would not be skyrocketing and the US would be more secure.

While Trump declared his administration “ended DEI” during his recent State of the Union address, the president of the association begged to differ. "What's happening is the work is being reshaped."

Now let’s do it locally. At scale.

A Canadian woman detained by ICE with her young daughter warns even legal immigrants are at risk, urging others to “lie low” as enforcement intensifies under Donald Trump. #TrumpEffect #ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

Trump's changing course on Strait of Hormuz strategy raises questions about US war preparation Trump has “lost control of the war and he is panicking.” sentinelcolorado.com/nation-world... #IranWar #Hormuz

The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”

What does “workforce development” mean when AI is being built to replace workers? 63% of Americans expect job losses. This framework follows that trajectory instead of changing it, offering retraining to workers, including young people entering a labor market where those jobs may no longer exist.

Federal preemption of state AI laws isn’t streamlining, it’s silencing the American public. 1000+ AI bills introduced last year isn’t chaos; it’s democracy in action with bipartisan support. Policymakers across the spectrum are pushing back on efforts to override their authority to protect people.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The Voter Elimination Act is something genuinely new in the American experiment — a legislative attempt to make representative democracy optional for the party in power for a president who has already tried to commit one violent coup to stay in power.

🚨BREAKING: Trump officials are advancing a government-wide policy that would force AI companies to end any safety & privacy guardrails that might inhibit Trump's plans to build autonomous weapons & mass surveillance systems, according to draft text reviewed by The Lever.
