Has a single prominent Trump donor spoken out about the murder? Any of the CEOs of the companies that donated to the new ballroom or the inauguration? Are all of them comfortable being complicit in state violence against citizens?

I deeply identify with this from Ashley Parker. If you were a kid growing up in the DC area of the 80s and 90s, the Post WAS your hometown. And if you got hooked on journalism, it was very likley because of Style.

Much of the mourning for the late great The Washington Post has rightly focused on how democracy dies in darkness at the national level, which is hugely important. But the evisceration of Metro coverage is every bit as devastating because there is no comparable news outlet keeping

I think that's a pretty widespread problem in the higher Democratic Party ranks, in and out of office. Party affiliated intellectuals used to be budget wonks, now they're poll-pilled electoral tacticians. No vision, no ideas, all means, no ends.

In Munich, Rubio says the "deepest bonds" uniting the west are culture, ancestry, language, Christian faith. Meanwhile, the word "democracy" appears in the speech only once, in disparaging fashion, and "pluralism" not at all.

No legal basis and no debate in Congress about what could be a major war with no clear sense of what the objective is or what comes next.

A hallmark of Trump/Kushner/Witkoff policy is indifference or ignorance toward people who do not have 24/7 access to a private jet. x.com/TVietor08/stat…

Looks like a total failure of State Department planning. Maybe the position of Secretary of State should, in fact, be a full-time job? x.com/usembassyjlm/s…

This is absolute insanity. American citizens stranded in the region pay taxes, too. But those taxes are going to the physical and economic destruction of the region, by an administration with no plan, except to keep dropping more bombs
