Trump has been "first pro-Soviet and then pro-Russian for decades." The renowned philosopher Francis Fukuyama: Trump visited Moscow in the 1980s, when the Soviet Union still existed. Later, he spent tens of thousands of dollars on advertisements in the *New York Times* claiming that NATO was the cause of the Cold War confrontation and should not be funded. For decades, he maintained a pro-Soviet and later a pro-Russian stance. Prominent and influential intellectuals from around the world have finally begun to openly state what should have been said about Trump long ago. t.me/MirovichMedia/…

Governments keep pushing ID checks everywhere, and now 153M+ driver’s license scans are being sold on the dark web. Maybe laws forcing ID checks aren't such a great idea...🙄 reclaimthenet.org/idscan-net-bre…

This is Karyann Parkinson and her five kids. She just received a 6-month suspended jail sentence and is now on Virginia's child abuse registry. Her crime: letting her 5-year-old, Sam, walk a half-mile alone in their gated community. She's not the first. A thread.

The narrative that tariffs are fueling America's manufacturing surge doesn't hold up. Hard data show the upswing is driven by non-tariff forces, and factories would likely be doing even better without the tariffs, explains Cato's @scottlincicome. ow.ly/mq7P50ZFiG8

The Trump administration just made it official: it's demolishing the US's shell company registry, and destroying all of the data it already collected. A disaster for US anti-corruption efforts.

President Trump said he’ll sue @amprog over this report that found the National Guard’s presence in several American cities hasn’t reduced violent crime. The president — and any of us — can disagree with the report, but the answer is to refute findings with data, not lawsuits. Alarmingly, Trump threatened to add some of the center’s donors to the lawsuit. Threatening non-profit donors sends a chilling message: Fund an organization that criticizes me, and you’ll be sued too. That’s wholly incompatible with a free society.

MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going.  We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year… $323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase.  National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority.  Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.

A truly WILD story. This appears to be the order of operations: 1. Trump flies to Turkey on the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One for the NATO summit. 2. An Iranian assassination threat triggers a secret “deception operation.” Security officials devise a plan to conceal which aircraft Trump is actually traveling on. 3. The Qatari-gifted Air Force One leaves Turkey first, without Trump. 4. Trump publicly boards the legacy Air Force One in Ankara, walking up the stairs and waving for cameras, creating the appearance that this is his plane home. 5. Trump secretly exits Air Force One through the other side of the aircraft and gets into an airport catering truck raised to the plane’s door. 6. The catering truck drives Trump to a smaller Air Force C-32A, a modified Boeing 757 parked nearby. 7.. Trump secretly boards the C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also boards separately. 8. Reporters and some White House staff board the legacy Air Force One, apparently unaware Trump is no longer aboard. They are instructed to close their window shades. (Remember all that reporting from the time?) 9. The legacy Air Force One takes off as a decoy and eventually uses the “AF1” call sign despite Trump not being aboard. 10. Trump’s actual C-32A flies secretly to Britain under the nondescript call sign “Reach 18,” with its normal flight-tracking systems reportedly switched off. 11. Trump arrives at RAF Mildenhall in Britain on the C-32A, shortly before the decoy Air Force One arrives. 12. Trump somehow transfers back onto the legacy Air Force One after landing. The Post says exactly how this transfer occurred remains unclear. 13. Trump then emerges from the legacy Air Force One in front of cameras, making it appear as though that was the aircraft he had flown from Turkey. 14. Trump boards the Qatari-gifted Air Force One in Britain and finally flies back to Washington with the press and staff. P.S. Remember when Trump told the reporters on the plane, "I go, you go," in regard to the plane being targeted? It actually seems Trump left and endangered the lives of everyone on board.
