This is also why Starlink should be taken over. If Putin were to attack US government satellites, that would be an act of war against the US that even Trump/Vance could not ignore.
I infer from this post (which I copied from another post here because I don't go on Xitter) that Putin has threatened Starlink with destruction if Musk doesn't rein in Ukr.'s use of Starlink to defend itself.

Trump claims he didn't trade anyone for Stephen Hubbard. But on the same day Trump betrayed Ukraine, October 9, he let Russian election interferer Mikhail Zvinchuk go free. [corrected, I think]

🚨This is the most dangerous thing Trump has said yet:
"Russia hasn't been nearly what they could have been in Ukraine, and I appreciate that."
With this, he has absolved Putin of all his war crimes and suggested he will accept even greater ones.
What an abhorrent creature.
100% correct. So is biblical law.
That’s the whole point of our secular government:
Christians, Muslims, atheists and everyone else live under the Constitution, not somebody else’s religion.

A case from the discontinuous edge of America, with obvious parallels to cases you have reported on, including the Minnesota prosecutions (e.g., prosecutors misled grand jury) and others (charges dismissed by AG but only without prejudice).
For years, Alaska officials prosecuted (& persecuted) a community of American Samoans in the city of Whittier, threatening them with years in prison for the crime of voting.
You may have read about this when we covered it in Bolts earlier this year.
HUGE NEWS: Alaska just dropped all charges.
Trump’s out-of-touch billionaire oligarch Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blames Americans for struggling: “There are some malcontents who do not want to work, they want to pull everyone down with them, they are under-earning…” 🤔
(As he leaves “Democratic” out of the DSA)
Fox News host Joey Jones ranted about the "weak" U.S. Navy sailors aboard the USS Lincoln who have complained about the conditions on the vessel that has been deployed in the Middle East since November of last year.
@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social suspicions' are warranted. The tax immunity deal with Cornyn is also bogus. Trump operates many (all?) of his business interests through tax pass-through entities, like partnerships. A deal protecting "only" Trump will protect all of those businesses' income.
Todd Blanche’s written assurance that the $1.8 billion slush fund won’t go forward is garbage. It won’t go forward today. What about tomorrow once Blanche is confirmed as AG? Tillis and Cornyn, agreeing to advance Blanche, are pathetic.
If Trump had been in charge at the 1936 Olympics Jesse Owens would never have won gold. Because.
The Trump administration is ahead of the Third Reich in refusing to accept reality.
tbh people should spam the pages of every shitbag republican strategist who very selectively won't shut the fuck up about "merit" (when it's convenient for punishing black and hispanic kids) with this story
And where is the rest of the media on this?
Crickets!

A Federal Reserve survey finds more Americans going hungry now than during COVID. 10% of households are missing meals because they can’t afford it, & nearly 16% relied on food donations. In Augusta, GA, food banks have 2-to 3-mile lines and people sleeping in their cars.

Good that @muellershewrote.com got her claim in early. I mean, after all the Universities attacked by the DoJ, all the DoJ employees fired, and now Raul Castro, file their claims, there will be nothing left of that $1.8 billion.
NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.
Good thing the Trump Adm. has no one up on political history. When LBJ stopped the bombing of North Vietnam in '68, the people saw it as an attempt to help his V.P. win the pres. election -- and the people punished LBJ for it.

Forget about the Kurds' understandable mistrust of Donny, and focus on the unfulfilled request: what weapons do the Kurds have that Trump wants -- and why?
I've seen spec. that Trump gave the Kurds weapons to rise up against Iran, and now won't give them back. Doesn't sound like a Trump deal to me: he never pays in advance, always buys on credit!
During his meeting with Iran's foreign minister, Putin said that "Russia will do everything that aligns with Iran's interests" and "the people of Iran are bravely and heroically fighting for their sovereignty."
Does that mean that Russia will provide oil tankers and/or weapons to Iran?
I know it is risky but I do hope that the SPLC recognizes that it now has the opportunity to do more for America than it accomplished by destroying the KKK, by now destroying Trump's DoJ.
The DOJ says the SPLC was secretly funding white supremacy
The SPLC that has fought white supremacy for 55 years
The SPLC that shared its informant intelligence with the FBI
Spoiler: that case falls apart instantly
See for yourself 👇 -TN
No motion to quash the indictment and no plea deal. No deferred prosecution agreement. Oppose any motion to withdraw the indictment. Demand discovery on selective prosecution. Make the DoJ defend its case and cut that case to shreds with the facts.
Has anyone seen this information getting into the American press? Even just here on Blusky? Because I have not, and it is exactly what Trump doesn't want to hear or be heard. A corollary of the famous Arabian proverb is that the friend of my enemy is not my friend.
President Zelenskyy:
Russia has made images of a US military object in Saudi Arabia three times in a row before it was attacked by Iran.
The President is 100% certain Russia is helping Iran.
Al Gore. Hillary Clinton. Kamala Harris.
Just think where our country - and the world - would be today if the people who’d won their elections had been allowed to win their elections.
Here's the original complaint. According to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, at least 110 complaints received from 40 units in 30 different locations describe receiving similar briefings from officers who say that Trump is God's anointed working to bring about Armageddon.
Published July 9, 2018 remains the best & most comprehensive outline of 40 year long Leonard Leo assault on democracy & the ONLY article that investigates his motivation.

Letting accused drug dealers go before conviction pairs nicely with the demand that states cooperate with ICE by releasing deportable convicted criminals held in state prisons early so ICE can deport them now. I'm surprised that some ICE agent has not already tried to deport Maduro and his wife!!
Pam Bondi is now freeing accused drug dealers bc her demand that AUSAs do unethical things got all the prosecutors to quit.

I'm sure Zelenskyy knows exacting what this "framework" is, a gigantic bribe to sway the peace deal to Russia's demands. But take heart. That Zelenskyy is talking about the framework now shows he recognizes how weak Trump is in the US and abroad.
Zelenskyy said Ukrainian intel has learned of a $12T US–RU economic cooperation proposal—“Dmitriev package”
Reported framework could pose risks to Ukraine’s sovereignty and security. Kyiv will not support any agreements that violate Ukrainian Constitution, incl recognition of Crimea as RU territory
