What can we do? Where is the pushback?
Well, ICYMI, here is what it looks like.
So I thought I would do something I rarely (if ever) do… share the whole damn thing. No snark. No spin. Just the whole speech.

It’s not easy these days to single out the worst of the worst appointments, but certainly the elevation of the thuggish Emil Bove to the federal appellate bench has to rank right up there. Other churls and chodes will come and go, but federal judges are forever.

America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944.
We had allies who fought with us.
Allies from Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Poland.

So, yes, the market meltdown was scary, but what we are left with is even scarier: A world dangling at the whim of a capricious, economically illiterate, megalomaniac.

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

So here is your Saturday question:
Does American get it yet? Do we — by which I mean citizens, institutions, and former guardrails — understand the full scope of what is happening? Do the courts, businesses, law firms, universities, media companies get it yet?

As an exercise, try to imagine Ron Johnson being wrestled to the ground in Wisconsin; or Tommy Tuberville in Alabama; or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah, neither can I.

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t look at them.
They were right there.
She could have arranged to get their contact information.
She could have shown a scrap of sympathy.
But Pam Bondi wouldn’t even look them in the eye.
And that was a defining moment.
