When I was forced to escape Putin's crackdown in Russia and made my home in America, I never imagined I would be warning my new home about the threat of authoritarianism. But thanks to Trump, here we are. My article: thedispatch.com/article/us-des…

1976: Jimmy Carter endures the “scandal” of admitting he had lust in his heart for other women. 1998: Clinton, “I did not have sex with that woman” 2024: Trump simulates oral sex onstage and it’s just another MAGA rally. This is not progress. Make America Decent Again.

“Whether women like it or not” seems like a much, much bigger gaffe than either side’s garbage comment. We’ll see if the non-Fox media treat it with the attention it deserves.

Trump: "I want to protect the women of our country ... I'm gonna do it whether the women like it or not"

Naval Academy disinvites historian @ruthbenghiat from a history department lecture under pressure from the Heritage Foundation--founders of Project 2025. Intended lecture was what happens to militaries under authoritarian rule through history

As controversies go, it was easy to miss this one. It all took place within the conservative media ecosystem. But it could foreshadow what might happen to the U.S. service academies if Trump is elected next month. thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/column…

Two weeks ago, our team was held captive by a militia in Darfur. As a journalist, one never wants to become the story. But I wanted to write this because in some ways our experience tells a bigger story of the complexities of the situation in Darfur and the challenges of getting…

John Kelly was hand picked by Trump to be his chief of staff. He was recommended by Tom Cotton. He is a decorated retired general and a Gold Star father. He is on the record here w/ the most damning anecdotes. Not sure how this can be dismissed. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Reminder: the war started in Feb 2014 when Putin seized Crimea and then took much of Donbas. Zelenskiy was elected in May 2019. Trump was US president for four years of Russia's occupation and did nothing to compel Putin to end it.

Trump to Patrick Bet-David on Zelenskyy: "He should never have let that war start."
