This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

And it was actually a prisoner exchange in which we gave them an actual Russian criminal and we also gave them diplomatic cover in a war of aggression — not only morally shameful and personally humiliating but as a negotiation absolutely laughably unequal.

For the Americans the war is just an element of a grift; they are, sadly, not negotiators in any sense, just men seeking to make more money from the bloodshed their actions enable.

As the article points out, this moves Musk into the position of being the de-facto gatekeeper for satellite launches and positioning. In other words, the man who launches satellites now gets to decide who can complete with him.

The same man who recently decided to condemn hundreds of Ukrainian civilians to die from Russian attacks by disabling Ukraine's ability to counter Russian drone and missile attacks has now been given the role of regulating all satellites in orbit. No bid. No law. Just a gift from Trump and Hegseth.

As Trump proclaims that he is happy oil prices are high, adding "I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune," remember that the 'we' refers to Trump, his family, and his donors. 99% of American people are suffering, the Trump only cares about himself and his donors.

So much for the myth that Republicans are 'good for the economy.' The only rationale for voting Republican this time around -- with Trump "on the ballot" (in his own words) -- is if you value bigotry and hate so much that you are willing to forego economic wellbeing.

I think it's simpler than that. The GOP is 95% owned and controlled by Russia. Musk is a Republican and is just following Russia's orders.

If Brazil falls to the right wing today, the Trump capture of South America will be complete. The US, Israel and Russia anti-democratic forces will have greater room to concentrate operations on Mexico and Canada. Brazil’s outcome will carry global consequences for democracy.

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.
