In the Atlantic, David Brooks writes that the last few weeks have altered his idea of his country. Also makes an argument about Trump and the working class.

The President of the United States just implied he would use force against an ally in an unprovoked war of aggression and conquest - and the entire world is so used to ignoring him like a crazy grandpa in the attic that it's not the biggest story on the planet.

JD Vance: “The president said we have to have Greenland…We cannot just ignore this place. We cannot just ignore the president’s desires.”

Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg. Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy. The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

The Trump administration has no credibility. Pete Hegseth claimed the chats were fake after his own department confirmed they were real. They are liars and what they say can be dismissed out of hand if it's not backed up by evidence.

Why are we letting the Trump administration make us debate whether the attack info was classified, or war plans? If an enemy or a journalist had obtained it wrongfully & made it public, is there any doubt in your mind how the Trump government would’ve treated them? Let’s not play their game.
