Meanwhile in Russia: experts explained why Russia is poised to become the main beneficiary of an Iran war, mocked Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, and predicted that "more and more coffins" will be coming back to America.

Am I the only person who’s actually read the Save America Act?! Why aren’t the media & lawmakers warning voters that it would require that states give our voter data to Trump’s DHS to run through a voter purge program that links to an SSA database compromised by DOGE? #NoOnSave
There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

In 2017, Tom Nichols wrote The Death of Expertise warning of a world where people reject expert knowledge in favor of their own opinions.
Eight years later, his warning looks not only prescient—but possibly understated.
Let’s talk about what he got right—& what got even worse.
