Sometimes called NatSec democrats, they can also be called Service Democrats, since they come from the military and other professions that asked them to take oaths, swearing to be of service to Americans. They will be an important force in the future

Haven't loved any film this year more than NOUVELLE VAGUE. It's both a shout of joy and a call to arms; great artistry is worth caring about, even if the big-time bean counters in our current culture treat it as throwaway. Linklater clearly poured his soul into this thing. time.com/7286313/nouv...

Confrontation is the only way any journalist will ever start chipping away at the key, underlying questions about Trump that the public deserves answers to. Among them: Is he delusional, or is he a liar, or is he both? presswatchers.org/2025/11/cbss...
