L’ambassadeur US en Pologne rompt ses relations avec le Président du parlement. Pas avec le Parlement, pas avec le gouvernement, pas avec le Premier ministre ou le Président. Mais avec le président de la Sejm, qui dit publiquement que Trump ne méritait pas le Nobel.

Finally, a public official meeting the moment.
Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

Russia spent $160,000 in 2016 and it triggered a congressional investigation. So long as this is allowed to keep happening in Democratic primaries, the party is fundamentally unserious about confronting foreign election interference.
Incredible things are happening in the NJ-11 Congressional race, one example: Tom Malinowski, a pro Israel candidate running to re-enter Congress, is accusing AIPAC of using India-based call centers to run scripted ad calls against Malinowski.

i don't think removing, like, noem or rubio or hegseth would matter all *that* much in the scheme of things, but i think removing miller would be substantial. i think he's going to be one of the hardest people to dislodge as a result (also because he's not in a senate-confirmed role)
Millerism means Minneapolis times 100 for a decade. It would tend the United States apart. It is something close to Milosevic’s line.
