Mike Levin: It should be a much bigger story that JD Vance flew to Hungary, stood on a campaign stage, and told voters to return a head of government widely documented for human rights abuses and democratic backsliding. Then, after his candidate lost, Vance said what had happened during the Hungarian campaign was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.” Was he describing himself?

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The idea that there’s a coherent agenda driven by Putin works in the sense that most of what Trump has done is good for the Russian dictator while also bad for the US. It’s also that Trump came back to revenge himself on a country that rejected him in 2020…”
