Huge win!! In partnership with Senator Lisa Murkowski, we protected the Ocean Observatories Initiative—critical sensors that are essential for managing our fisheries, forecasting weather, and understanding climate change.

Fact: Trump does not have the legal authority to end mail in voting.
In Arizona, 80% of voters cast their ballot by mail and as long as I’m Secretary of State, I will fight to ensure they can continue voting that way.
Congress never voted to bulldoze the White House or for a dollar to build Trump’s golden Ballroom for the Epstein class (or anyone else). But now we learn that Trump’s bad architecture obsession is costing us all $600 million. Turn your illegal Qatari jet over to the people and we’ll sell it for $400 million and we’ll take the rest out of other illegal emoluments and slush funds, including the $1.776 billion fund for insurrectionists, and the Board of Peace, another unauthorized Trump fund bankrolled by money misallocated from the State Department.
Pete Hegseth has settled on a way of describing America’s allies. They were handed a test, he says, and too many of them failed it.
He has it exactly upside down.
The most expensive military on earth watched its bases across the Gulf get hit this spring, more than two hundred structures damaged, and the official instinct was to say as little about it as possible. The allies America had armed and shielded for decades would not open their runways when it actually counted. And the deal that ended the war was signed in a French palace, the cameras catching a man insisting three times over that yes, he really had signed it.
Strength is not only firepower. The Soviet Union had warheads to spare and still came apart the day its allies stopped showing up. Strength is whether anyone still stands beside you once the shooting starts. By that measure this was not a strong spring, and pretending otherwise is exactly how great powers quietly stop being that.
The full piece is up now.

In countries that have successfully reversed democratic backsliding in recent years—from Poland in 2023 to Hungary in 2026—opposition movements made prosecuting those who have broken laws a central campaign issue.
On the world stage, lying about America, badmouthing America. Talking shit about America. Trashing our democracy. He is a traitor to this country. He should be in jail.
When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.
We found that the request came directly from the White House.

Snyder: One of our national fairy tales is that [Donald Trump] is a negotiator or he has some kind of negotiating skills. He does not. He's a charismatic performer who played a negotiator on TV, but he does not have negotiating skills. He's terrible at it.
This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war— we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.
