This, but also, as a liberal I believe in freedom and human rights for all people, all around the world. That translates into rooting interests in elections where freedoms and rights are on the ballot, as they often are.
I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

I will always have the bandwidth for this... and ffs, quite using the word literally. It literally does not mean what you think it does!
We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Why would anyone expect the President to obey the law? 'Several Republican lawmakers said the diesel deal handed Russia a win without any concessions and went against a 2022 law barring US importing of Russian energy without prior congressional consultation.' #r4today archive.is/202610152159...

What a stunning statement. It seems to be this commentators honest assessment. Texas - Vote for James Talarico!
Fox commentator: Paxton doesn't have any values. I don't know how he'll vote. I suspect he'll vote for whoever the highest bidder is, which is certainly what we've seen him do in the Attorney General’s Office.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. Recruit him and turn his wife over to ICE. How long do you think he'll remain in the armed forces?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

She does not just "say" she is a lawyer while not being barred (which is a violation of legal ethical requirements). She claims to have practiced law in roles that require the practitioner to be licensed. She is a fraud. It matters.
1/ Katie Zacharia is obviously an incompetent press secretary for a wannabe authoritarian president, but I find the whole "she says she's a lawyer, but she's not barred!" discourse a little weird.
Trump is transitioning the US from NATO and Zelensky to Putin and Xi. His next move in that direction is to have Putin at his economic summit at Mar a Lardo. Please mail or phone your Senators/Reps and make sure this is stopped.
This. Except I think DozyDon may have already absconded with those funds.
Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen says Ukraine is running out of money and cannot buy or produce everything it needs. She called Russia’s frozen assets “the most obvious source” of additional funding, saying Russia should be made to pay for the damage it is causing Ukraine and Europe. #Ukraine
