The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.
Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU.
Will Europe finally listen?

The Court does exactly what we knew it would do.
And here’s how broken it is: in the very same term—just months apart—it’s highly likely that the same Court majority will rule in the following, entirely inconsistent ways:

Russia has been attacking many things associated with food production in Ukraine lately. Tractors, food storage bins, fields, restaurants. It's like they're again using food as a weapon to kill & drive people out. Holodomor Lite??

Gotta cut those 8 ceasefires back into 7. Will FIFA take their medal back, or will it just disintegrate on its own over time.
(T* ended no wars whatsoever, but took uninvited unnecessary part in several cease fires or threats of conflict that had not yet ensued).
Normal people wld be embarrassed.

Remember: the Supreme Court handed Trump a permission slip to break the law...with both hands...and not lose a minute of sleep.
And the Justices who blessed it? They're operating at a level of corruption we haven’t seen....since judges took bribes in livestock.

The Supreme Court's taking the birthright citizenship case on the merits was prefigured in Trump v CASA, the procedural case that was really about nationwide injunctions. It doesn't suggest momentum for the Court's adopting the Admin position, which is crackpot and I believe Court will reject.

I'm in the cynical camp. I think Nuzzi will be just fine.
For those who bitterly believe that Olivia Nuzzi is still probably set for life after losing the Vanity Fair gig, I recently reviewed a documentary showing Susan Powter working for Uber Eats, so there is still hope
