What kind of hell awaits us when Russians receive additional money due to the direct support of Donald Trump?

This is a poor take that suggests Owen Jones doesn't know much about Russia in the 1990s, including Russia-US or wider Russia-West relations in the 1990s. By giving only one part of the story, he is repeating the Russian political elite's self-serving line that it was all the West's fault. Long 🧵

The US-led West was heavily involved in Russian "shock therapy" after the collapse of the USSR. Western, particularly US, economists dispensed advice on creating a new market economy. The international financial institutions (IFIs) handed over loans conditional on harsh reforms.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Some notable things in what's being called the "Trump peace plan" but which could not have been more clearly written in Moscow if it came with a 2 for 1 deal on tickets to the Bolshoi Ballet. 🧵

Can't they drone them?

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

@profanity.accountant How much fucking profanity in the last year on my posts?

This little three-year-old boy was born under the explosions of Russian missiles in Ukrainian cities. And he was killed by the explosions of Russian missiles in Ukrainian cities. Russia is killing Ukrainian children.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

To Israel-haters, @faniaoz-salzberger.bsky.social is just another oppressor. To the Israeli right, Netanyahu included, she's little better than a traitor. In reality, she's keeping the true, openhearted spirit of Zionism alive, against both extremes. She deserves our support, now more than ever.
