16 more air defense towers have been built around putin's residence in Valdai, acc to Radio Liberty. There are now over 50 air defense positions protecting that residence — roughly half as many as have been built around Moscow and its region since 2022. "But russia is winning".

Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?

🛳️🔥 The Black Sea has become the “most dangerous route” for commercial shipping, - FT Since the beginning of the year, more than 570 vessels have been attacked in the region, and at least 40 sailors have been killed.

Ok, I'm going back to muting all things Trump and his minions since this is a torture for any sane person who lives under the russian missiles and cares for their nation.

Taking care that the laws be faithlessly executed

At this point, Clarence Thomas will cite anyone with a JD and a terrible knack for history. What’s the difference? I, for one, trust the good people of Canada Dry and Schweppes! (I proudly buy Schweppes, holder of His Majesty King Charles III’s Royal Warrant).

Bill Clinton: “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt. And just last week, President Trump finally did what he threatened to do when he first ran, which is to abandon Ukraine and embrace Vladimir Putin all over again.” I hope the American people are also tired of it

Morning in Kyiv after the night attack. I woke up early to make a warcoffee, wash and dry my hair before the power outage. My sleep was chopped up by explosions. russians hit the metro infrastructure on ‘my’ bridge. So, once again, metro trains aren’t crossing the Dnipro River over it.

It’s been at least 20 or up to 30 missiles Russia attacked Kyiv with tonight , early reports say . Feels special after watching Witkoff’s fan-boy praising of Putin and thanking him for being a ‘humanitarian’ . What a cruel piece of joke

So, Russia just attacked Kyiv with at least 6 missiles . Maybe 8 . Probably all those famous ‘humanitarian’ missiles .

Corruption on a level we’ve never seen before. The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

Elon Musk making a strong case that no person should have that much power, influence, and money.

Let's just make this clear: Witkoff calls the bloodiest dictator, indicted war criminal, and child murderer, Putin, a "humanitarian" not for some massive concession, not for agreeing to stop the war, but for releasing a person they captured in a foreign country where that person was simply living

"With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict. " Nobody should have that kind of power www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

"Realism" is an empty doctrine - and "realists" are just mimicking Moscow talking points, says @EdwardGLuce giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

This is a profoundly racist, corrupt, and lawless government. There is no bottom to their anti-constitutional and immoral ambitions. Two weeks. Enough is enough.

Defund Article II.

Elon Musk shouldn’t be able to order anything.

They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.

Perhaps it didn’t make the news in your media. Yesterday, russia damaged the Book Chamber of Ukraine in Kyiv. It holds 15+ million books, newspapers, magazines and maps published in Ukraine since 1917. The collections are now at risk from moisture. Windows in the storage areas were blown out.

When Russian attack hit the hospital in Kyiv today , it hit the operating room . A patient got wounded . Tuesday in Ukraine .

A cartoonishly evil, openly bigoted, serially lying, highly unlikeable enemy of democracy. Almost certainly a criminal many times over. Way-too-deeply embedded in the US government and national security architecture. And with none of the protections of elected office. Bring it hard and do not stop.

I have been trying to think of what Trump’s hideous “ballroom” project reminds me of — and I finally have it — it is Nicolai Ceausescu’s infamous and unfinished House of the People in communist Romania, which also brought awfulness to a lovely downtown.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

The Trump regime’s window to get Russia a victory in Ukraine without Congress exposing the corrupt personal payments Trump and Co. will get from Russia if they pull it off is down to three months. Hence the big push now.

My morning started with a text ‘we are ok’ with a heart emoji from my loved ones today . Means explosions were near them during Russian attack at night but they survived . Monday in Ukraine .

Hearing before Reyes on East Potomac Golf Course has just resumed. Incredibly tempestuous. They are taking testimony and probing government contention that the tree removals were pursuant to a 2019 plan, not Trump's editc. @rparloff.bsky.social is providing excellent real time summary.

raw?

The leader of the Republican Party supports murderous anti-American war criminal Vladimir Putin. Will Republican candidates be repeatedly asked if they denounce Putin? The Republican Party's biggest donor also boosts a German Neo-Nazi party. Will Republican candidates be asked if they denounce AfD?

CFB Wainwright is where the women and men of our Armed Forces train to defend Canada. To serve Canada. Now Canada serves them.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Nothing new here, just Trump again blaming Ukraine for being attacked, and blaming Zelenskyy personally for the fact that Russia continues to wage its war. 🤷‍♀️ And for losing oceans and seas... whatever that even means? Somebody show the old man a map!

I hugged my cat extra tight today. Because in a world of chaos, Small love keeps you human. #ukraine #cat #ukrainians #ukrainiangirl #ukrainerussiawar

The Canadian flag will fly at half-mast on federal buildings across Canada. All Canadians stand with the service members at CFB Wainwright, their families, and their community.

self-interest masquerading as foreign policy

Trump doesn't need any extra incentives, blackmail or otherwise, to do the crazy shit he does

hell, yes

🇺🇦There may be air raid sirens, explosions, power outages, and more sleepless nights. But we keep going. We keep living, loving, working, and believing in a peaceful future for Ukraine. To everyone who cares about us,who remembers Ukraine, and who refuses to look away-thank you for standing with us.
