Russia strikes apartment buildings. Ukraine strikes refineries. Trump is angry at Ukraine and calls for them publicly and privately to stop bombing refineries while saying nothing about Russia killing children.

"Xi … couldn’t help but admire the confidence with which Trump now uttered rudimentary English sentences and estimating that the president had probably expanded his vocabulary to at least 100 words."

To no one in particular, I would like to say that having more money than God should not be a license to do anything you want, wherever you want, whenever you want — for fun or profit. If some billionaire’s wet dream goes against the greater public interest, we should have some veto power over it.

So we have all this talk about Trump going to steal the elections.Are we just going to hear the media blabbering about it up until the elections or is something actually going to be done to circumvent this situation? Is this all for ratings or is it real? Because I’m hearing little about solutions.

A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.

deanblundell.substack.comBREAKING: Russia Is Buying Trump for $6 Billion — And It’s Happening in Plain SightA failing social media company. A Russian-backed fusion deal. AI panic. Presidential conflicts. And now, a dead American nuclear scientist. Tell me again this is “just a tech story.”

Sen. Mark Kelly to Stephen Miller: “I got shot at serving our country in combat, and I was there when your boss sent a violent mob to attack the Capitol. I know the difference between defending our Constitution and an insurrection, even if you don’t.” #ResistTrump

“These are still functionally extortion payments, or tribute payments, being directed in accordance with Trump’s commands—payments that shouldn’t be happening in the first place. But feeding this BDS is now the cost of doing business…” 🔥from @gregsargent.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2021...

newrepublic.comTrump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even WorseIt’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

To nobody in particular, remember when everyone reacted in horror and disgust when, after Paul Pelosi was attacked, Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a picture of a pair of underwear and a hammer with the caption “Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready?” Neither do I.

It’s wild watching Republicans claw over each other to win Charlie Kirk’s audience, each one trying to sink lower than the last. Meanwhile, Democrats are doing the opposite: actually trying to bring this country together.

The Trump cabal is diversifying. No longer is it enough to enrich themselves at the expense of American citizens (including, if not especially, his own support base). He's exporting their greed to Vietnam at the expense of poor Vietnamese farmers. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Many things wrong with this. Top 3 for me: 1. "Anti-DEI" efforts are codified racism to protect feelings of MAGA snowflakes. 2. The most basic legal counter is they are punishing 1st Amend.-protected speech. 3. So many organizations are capitulating. afrotech.com/fcc-investig...

scrippsnews.comCritics see Trump attacks on the 'Black Smithsonian' as an effort to sanitize racism in US historyCritics say Trump's order targeting the Smithsonian Institution downplays how race, racism and Black Americans themselves have shaped the nation’s story.
