the primary divide in the Democratic Party right now is not left vs. right it’s fighters vs. cowards. that’s why even former republicans like kinzinger who are centrists on policy are absolutely furious at Schumer

Just an incredible video of the Ukrainian spirit, lineage from the Cossacks

As President Trump contemplates invasion of Panama, a reminder that more than a century ago the United States felt obliged to pay Colombia a $25 million indemnity - big money in those days - as apology for the US role in detaching Panama from Colombia. timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...

Reuters/Ipsos poll: More than half of all Americans - including 1 in 4 Republicans - worry that President Trump is too close to Russia. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

Wut. “We don’t want to stand up but we hope republicans will for us”

All Trump has to do to fix the stock market is admit that his economic ideas are stupid and wrong.

Such a curious coincidence, that's exactly what Herbert Hoover said on October 25, 1929, the day after the Dow Jones dropped 9% in a single trading session. millercenter.org/the-presiden... Trump's stock market is down 10% in less than 30 days.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Congrats Chuck Schumer you have thoroughly misplayed the funding fight. You’ve done everything possible to take ownership of it, despite democrats having no levers in govt. Are ya new?

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Consumer confidence is collapsing. www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

If Harris had won in 2024, there would have been growth and prosperity in 2025. Instead we have Trump- and Musk-chosen political chaos, trade wars, collapse in consumer confidence ... and whatever comes next.

Some recessions start because of a financial crisis (2008). Some start because of Fed tightening (1980). Some start because of some shock in the wider world. (2020). If we get a recession in 2025, however, it will be entirely because of stupid decisions by Trump and Musk.

Check out my new post! I do an emergency video analyzing the current fight over govt spending and the sheer maddening missteps of Schumer and others adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

The point of repeating antisemitic tropes while claiming to fight antisemitism is to evacuate any meaning from the term "antisemitism" My latest essay: "'Antisemitism' and Antisemitism: The abuse of the word and the spread of the phenomenon" snyder.substack.com/p/antisemiti...

Hey Mike Waltz a Russia speaker does not make someone Russian, speaking English in America does not make us English This is first grade stuff

It is absurd for the federal government to attack universities for "antisemitism." In fact, Trump's policy is itself antisemitic I explain here. snyder.substack.com/p/antisemiti...

Predictably, the Russian reaction to the Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire offer is that Russia has a condition: that Ukraine concede its sovereignty to Russia. Now Russia will try to get the Americans to do for them things they cannot do for themselves.

Many concessions have been made to Putin. Yet he still won't agree to a ceasefire. Read @mcfaulmike.bsky.social

NEW: The leaders of every major political party in Greenland have united in a joint statement against Trump. "We cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation & control of Greenland. We find this behavior unacceptable. “Greenland is one country that everyone wants to stand behind." 🇬🇱🇩🇰

Helpful focus on sovereignty here. It is the key issue. www.justsecurity.org/109084/putin...

Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites" snyder.substack.com/p/antisemiti...

Donald Trump is a weak coward, who has never done anything difficult in his life, thinks all caps tweeting is tough, and threatens Allies because hes too scared of Iran/Russia/China And he wears MAKEUP CONSTANTLY. LOL

Tu w Afryce wiecie, jak ważne jest przestrzeganie międzynarodowo uznanych granic. Próba ich zmiany siłą prowadzi do wojny wszystkich przeciwko wszystkim. Dlatego tak ważne jest to, by zaatakowana Ukraina otrzymała wsparcie w swoim oporze przed agresją. 📍SADC, Zimbabwe

Literally this happens when you get rolled @schumer.senate.gov

This guy, who became rich off tax money, is fine now, but thinks other peoples pain is funny and cool. Tax elon

Also not to mention how pathetically audacious it is to first threaten to annex a constituent part of the Kingdom of Denmark and then ask Denmark for eggs

So the US went from wanting Greenland to wanting eggs

"The abuse of the word 'antisemitism' is meant to generate a sense of plausibility, confuse opposition, and create more space for the actual phenomenon of antisemitism. And this misdirection is an integral part of the effort to replace a constitutional order with an authoritarian one."

This isn’t a left vs others thing. It’s about fighting vs rolling over. The middle is just as outraged as the edges

Emergency video: The Ukraine travesty t.co/GUplJZpdRs

On Trump the Almighty and his (so far) quiescent capital… My new column: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

We're watching the on-video confession of the Trump-Russia scandal.

Vance mistook Ukraine for the Republican congressional caucus

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

"Putin went through a hell of a lot with me." ~Donald Trump

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Sunk in shame for this un-American administration and its cowardly enablers. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them. Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.

Der Präsident eines Staates, der seit drei Jahren geschunden und zerstört wird und dessen Bevölkerung vergewaltigt wird, muss sich vom US-Präsidenten vor der ganzen Welt anbrüllen lassen. Was für eine Schande

I've just looked again at the Starmer meeting - Vance tried to blow that up too. But Trump didn't take the bait.

Vance blew up that meeting on purpose

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.
