The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
We Have Descended into Utter Madness
A new sense of urgency is needed. Our national crisis has grown much more acute.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Time to stop writing, & reporting a "possibility". The people need to see charges. Consequences. Done with threatening this without actually doing it. No such latitude for immigrants. Legitimate allowances offering protection asylum seekers, denied

New in PN: MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable

"The Epstein files are a 'hoax,' Trump says — a lie made up by Dems to make him look bad. Yet somehow, at the same time, there’s nothing in them that could make him look bad — b/c if there was, Biden would have released them. So which is it?"
MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable
To believe anything they say requires a complete suspension of common sense.

Another impressive 2026 Democratic recruit, this time for Governor of Nebraska.

When Lynne Walz served 8 years in the Nebraska State Senate, she did so by winning two terms in a district that voted for Trump by over 30 points.

Another House GOP retirement.

This time it’s Troy Nehls of #TX22.

Nehls should have easily won reelection, is only 57 years old, and has only been in office since 2021.

Not the profile of someone you’d expect to leave.

The rats are fleeing the ship.

I guess Hernandez didn’t use a fishing boat, so he gets a pardon from Trump instead of being blown to smithereens by Pete Hegseth.
