<\/a><\/p>\nJennifer Rubin: The \u2018buck stops\u2019 nowhere<\/a><\/h2>\nPresident Harry S. Truman had a sign on his desk that read \u201cThe buck stops here.\u201d President Carter actually borrowed<\/a> Truman\u2019s sign. President Barack Obama<\/a> said \u201cThe buck stops with me\u201d after a failed terrorist attack. President Joe Biden said the same about the messy end of the war in Afghanistan<\/a>. But in Donald Trump\u2019s regime, bucks never get near the Oval Office. If you listen to the MAGA cult, neither Trump nor any regime official is responsible, accountable, or to blame for anything.<\/p>\nThe killing of one national guardsman and severe wounding of another in D.C. was a tragedy and an outrage. The killer, of course, should be punished to the full extent of the law. But to ignore Trump\u2019s egregious decision-making that brought us to this point of reckless political violence is to invite further tragedies and condone grievous incompetence.<\/p>\n
No matter how furiously Trump and his minions try to spin the narrative, Biden cannot be blamed for this one. Trump\u2019s crew granted asylum<\/a> to the suspected killer this April.<\/em> Most importantly, Trump and MAGA governors who comply with the president\u2019s whims and who send national guardsmen around the country willy-nilly for tasks they are not trained to perform are responsible for their safety. The guardsmen who were attacked should never have been there.

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – December 2, 2025<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nToday, at a televised meeting, Trump\u2019s Cabinet officers rallied around the president, telling him he is brilliant and a miracle worker, and Trump threw his support behind Hegseth. Clearly, the president intends to stand by the weekend Fox News Channel host he installed in one of the most important positions in the United States government.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the meeting, PBS NewsHour<\/em> journalist Nick Schifrin reported that a U.S. official told him \u201c[t]he US military struck the boat on September 2_four_times: twice to kill the 11 people who were on board, and twice more to sink the boat.\u201d<\/p>\nTrump is slipping. After he drew attention by posting wildly on social media last night, today\u2019s meeting was clearly designed to demonstrate that the president is alert, active, and on top of things. But this made-for-television photo opportunity was anything but a display of competence: Trump could not stay awake while his Cabinet members were praising him, and so we had the wild visual of Secretary of State Marco Rubio praising Trump as the only man who could end Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine, gesturing at the president sitting next to him, who was, to all appearances, sound asleep.

Jay Kuo: Double-Tap Gate: A Case Study in Gaslighting<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nIf you feel a disquieting revulsion witnessing Karoline Leavitt spout talking points about killing \u201cnarco-terrorists,\u201d your sensibilities don\u2019t need adjusting. Anyone paying attention understands that the whole idea is nothing more than a cynical framing designed to create a false pretext for U.S. military action.<\/p>\n
To see why, we need to deconstruct \u201cnarco-terrorism\u201d as a concept. When we think of \u201cterrorism,\u201d it\u2019s typically some kind of public act of violence, often in pursuit of a political or religious ideology, that is designed to sow fear in order to topple a state or change its behavior.<\/p>\n
But \u201cnarco\u201d drug traffickers aren\u2019t trying to achieve anything except to maximize their own profits. They may deploy terror and violence against rival groups or local law enforcement to further this goal, but the cartels are not trying to topple the U.S. government or fundamentally change our society.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why the idea that we need the full weight of the U.S. military to strike and kill \u201cterrorists\u201d who are allegedly smuggling drugs to our shores doesn\u2019t sit right. What\u2019s more, we are somehow actively targeting Venezuela, which isn\u2019t even a significant source of truly dangerous drugs such as fentanyl to the U.S.

One often mythologized as a break from dictatorship and a leap toward democracy. Yet as Salas shows, oil remained the ruling language. …
\n…<\/p>\nToday, as human rights abuses mount and migration surges, oil profiteering remains a life-or-death game, not just for Venezuela, but for the geopolitical chessboard it sits on.

Reflecting on Trump Derangement Syndrome<\/em>
\nSpencer Ackerman wrote a searing piece about the now-slow-dripping horrors of the boat strikes in the Caribbean. …<\/p>\nHis piece got me thinking about Trump Derangement Syndrome, not the MAGA-fied insult tossed at liberals on cable news, but the quieter, more insidious form found in donor-fed media and institutional op-ed land. It\u2019s the kind that insists every grotesque development in Trump\u2019s America is a deviation from some imagined moral high ground, rather than the logical, maskless evolution of a system already cracking its knuckles.<\/p>\n
Trump didn\u2019t just fall out of the sky like a lightning bolt. He was forged in the backlash to civil rights, in the bipartisan romance with market fundamentalism, in the smoldering ruins of a post-Cold War consensus that replaced material progress with PR and vibes. He rose out of a landscape where inequality widened, social trust eroded, and the only consistent ideology was protecting capital. That consensus still calls itself the \u201ccenter,\u201d even as the country burns from the edges inward.

Economist: America is foolishly waving goodbye to thousands of Chinese boffins<\/a><\/h2>\nHostile policies and attacks on science are driving them back into China\u2019s arms<\/p>\n
CHINESE-BORN brainiacs have long been at the forefront of innovation in America. Yang Chen-Ning, a Nobel-prize-winning physicist who died in October, was one such. But a mixture of pushes (such as the hostility of Donald Trump\u2019s administration to all sorts of newcomers) and pulls (including China\u2019s lavish support for science and tech) mean many are now following the path Yang took later in life: he returned to China in his 80s to teach at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Today, a host of Chinese youngsters are also choosing not to go to America to study at all.
