Everything Trump touches turns to loser.

The people of Albania have been protesting the Trump family for 11 days straight because Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner want to build a $2 billion luxury resort on an environmentally sensitive coast site. Solidarity with the people of Albania standing up to billionaire greed. 🇦🇱 🎥 @olsimeraj on IG

This conversation is going to be rescheduled. Stay tuned!

Donald Trump proposes a 1.776 billion slush fund for terrorists. In my book "On Freedom" I proposed $1776 as guaranteed monthly fixed income for Americans. Each kind of future is possible. We choose.

Join me for a conversation with Rep. Jake Auchincloss on Thinking Live. We'll be discussing Iran, Ukraine, and the future. Monday, June 8th, at 3:15pm ET. On snyder.substack.com. @repauchincloss.bsky.social

Glad to see a reference to Ben Valentino’s important work in this fine reporting by M Gessen www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/o...

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Donald Trump as we head into the midterm elections—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building up a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military.

In this video, I say the obvious about Trump’s proposal to increase the military budget by nearly 50%: it’s a bribe to officers and soldiers so that they will side with him when he tries to overthrow the Constitution and stay in power indefinitely. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-mil...

The whole point is that he is unqualified and will make us less safe. This isn’t a glitch. It’s the design. The US is to bend to its rivals abroad and collapse from within. For this he is the right guy! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The readers and the writers and the soldiers can be the same people. Resistance can be about reading, wherever you are, bomb shelter or not, because good books liberate us from the obvious and prepare us for the real.

If you want there be to rules in government beyond Trump’s whimsy, now is a good time to say something. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/this-new-o...

If Big Brother doesn’t like your science topic you won’t be funded and if Big Brother doesn’t like your results you will be defunded. A recipe for backwardness that seems to be designed by people who want America to humiliate itself and collapse. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/summary-of...

Kyiv, Ukraine, 51 months into the war

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

If we give the Ukrainians Patriots and sanction Russian energy the war is over. In other words, US policy at present is to keep the war going. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Evil and unlawful on countless levels, but also just embarrassing that he’s so cheap. Consider for a moment that Trump is bribable for what is meaningless pocket change in the Kremlin.

Thanks to my union for helping us see the truth about what is happening.

The psychological war is the only one Russia can win. And the softest target as ever is the White House.

Good summary here of motives for recent Russian war crimes. understandingwar.org/research/rus...

With a little help from you and me, Ukrainians can protect themselves from Russian missiles and drones. Please join in if you can. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

Spot on as usual. And as usual, the White House can be expected to amplify Russian propaganda.

Given that the pope has now cited Gandalf to make a similar point, I will repost my article on the dragons within us. snyder.substack.com/p/tolkiens-d...

Americans wanted to put him in power, Israelis wanted to kill him, each goal contradicts the other, both are illegal, neither is achieved — that’s our "foreign policy." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

A superloser is a leader of a great power, or (onetime) superpower, whose disastrous choices lead to a crash. He possesses a combination of skills that allow for a rise to personal power and the collapse of state power. I spell out the phenomenon in this video: snyder.substack.com/p/the-era-of...

Zbigniew Ziobro was one of the authors of the attempt to transform Poland into an authoritarian regime. Ziobro is a wanted man with no passport. The Trump White House just went to a good deal of trouble to bring him to the US. snyder.substack.com/p/copycat-ty...

Putin’s magic is that he can always get close to Trump. But Trump’s magic is that he turns everyone who approaches him into a loser.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

It remains great work

Catastrophic and narcissistic – not even going to the trouble of masquerading as a defense strategy. And NYT, when something is impossible don’t write "nearly impossible" to split the difference between reality and delusion. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/u...
