“Halifax understood the ancient truth that, in politics, the lows are lower than the highs are high. The sufferings caused by a statesman’s blunders are larger than the benefits produced by his accomplishments.” Amen. #giftLink www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"On darker days, I find myself turning to a more thoroughgoing narrative: that Trump is the fulfillment of what America has always been — a self-satisfied nation, granted license by its myths about providence and exceptionalism to do whatever it wants."

Opinion | It’s Not Trump. It’s America.

The country’s faith in its ability to shape the world to its liking is a much older malady.

Remember the joint US/Ecuador military operation to take out a narco terrorist training camp? Yah, it was a dairy farm.

The U.S. Military Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp in Ecuador. It Was a Dairy Farm.

The Times visited a village where the United States and Ecuador said they destroyed an armed group’s training camp. Residents said it was actually a dairy farm.

'Trump, who has long railed against mail-in voting — including on Monday, when he called it “mail-in-cheating” — used the method himself in a Florida special election scheduled to take place on Tuesday'
