And that's why we are working to take down America and create a diseased and ignorant and impoverished population. For autocracies to triumph, America must fail.
FBI Director Kash Patel should already have been fired for his lies about the Epstein investigation; for flying on taxpayer’s dime to party at places like the Olympics; and for gross mismanagement.
If the allegations in this article are true, Patel should be fired immediately.
I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
These are not the words of a sane person.
Calling for the elimination of a civilization is a war crime.
As I’ve repeatedly said, our military must only follow lawful orders.
Every American of good conscience must repudiate this.
Background: Orbán is an entrenched but wildly unpopular oligarch and authoritarian. He is facing an election that he will decisively lose — unless he can manage some trick. This obvious false flag (which he will now blame on Ukraine) should not fool anyone. It should only remind us that other people in similar situations (I mean Trump) will have similar thoughts. See my essay from yesterday on "The Next Coup Attempt."
We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

Reports now that Hegseth oversold the war to Trump and underestimated Iran's willingness to fight back.
It's almost as if he's unqualified for his job. Too bad the Senate didn't have confirmation hearings; those would have proven his manifest unsuitability to lead the Pentagon.
Fact checking fraud claims: Heritage Foundation documented 1,620 cases of voter fraud from 1982-2025, including 100 cases of noncitizens voting. That's about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections in that time. @YLindaQiu https://t.co/c07MmyhyZm
Jut crazy. The President of the United States should be advancing American national interests, not Russian interests.
Whatever happened to America First?
