@RonanFarrow Bam!

I have a PhD in political science from Oxford, focused on US foreign policy; worked as a State Dept. official in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East; and wrote a celebrated foreign policy book taught at universities like Princeton. That's why I get geopolitical questions.

@cb_doge Thanks for sharing. For anyone who wants to read the article, it’s here—and there’s much more in it: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

The emperor has no clothes. Time for the #25thAmendment. Congress and the Cabinet must act.

There are no words.

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

Iconic footage of the🐐Ruth Messinger going toe-to-toe with Trump over tax abatements. Love her reaction watching it years later. And he hasn’t changed at all. Here he was soft launching “fake news” 40 years ago.

Stephen Miller: “Trump = peace.” Tulsi Gabbard: “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to end wars, not start them.” JD Vance: “Trump's best foreign policy? Not starting any wars.” Donald Trump: "My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier." Liars.

@chefjoseandres @SecRubio No idea how this man can look himself in the mirror.

5% of Defense budget will end hunger all across USA….3% Feed all children in School! 3% of all the Defense investment worldwide will end hunger in the world! Why you don’t do it? @SecRubio this will be a true legacy worth bragging about….

Here's the problem. These are all "tactical" objectives. They are not strategy. Because there IS NO strategy. 1/ Let me take these "objectives" 1-4 to explain - based upon what I've learned in briefings - why we are badly and embarrassingly losing this war.

Absolute humiliation for Trump. A national security expert points out Trump is desperately trying to negotiate the exact same Iran nuclear deal he ripped up in 2018. The US literally went to war just to get back to the agreement they already had. Total incompetence.

If I seem pissed off it’s because I am. Speaker Johnson is a pathetic joke helping Donald Trump destroy this country.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, two of which are Black and two women on a list of roughly three dozen officers up for promotion, in a highly unusual move that has prompted some senior military officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their race or gender, according to The New York Times. Hegseth had been pressing senior Army leaders, including Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, for months to remove the officers’ names, military officials said. But Secretary Driscoll, citing the officers’ decades-long records of exemplary service, had repeatedly refused. Earlier this month, Hegseth broke the logjam by unilaterally striking the officers’ names from the list, though it is not clear he has the legal authority to do so. The list is currently being reviewed by the White House, which is expected to sent for final approval to the Senate.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

@JoshMeyerDC @USATODAY counting the days......

Trump says Supreme Court justices who ruled against him 'sicken me' - eight days after Chief Justice says such personal attacks have "got to stop." usatoday.com/story/news/pol… via @usatoday

A chilling story leading the Minneapolis Star Tribune this morning this morning. ICE agents followed Minnesota Democratic lawmakers who had been critical of ICE in the state, stopping multiple times to take pictures of their houses. This is what a police state does

Pressed by my questions, Trump’s judicial nominees give identical, nonsensical canned responses—looking ridiculous & demonstrating an abject absence of independence & integrity. Lacking a backbone now, they won’t have one on the bench.

A U.S. citizen.

This is either the worst OPSEC or corruption beyond measure.

Good news: The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award going to the people of the Twin Cities is a recognition of how our state persevered and led the way in defending freedom and democracy.
