What was Ukraine wearing?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

“These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire US government had access to them, that the documents Trump stole pertained to his business interests [and he] may have sold out our national security to enrich himself.” @raskin.house.gov

ms.nowTrump appeared to have business motive for keeping classified documents, Jack Smith findsThe special counsel’s office found that Donald Trump held on to documents so secret that only six people could legally review them — and the team believed his reason for doing so was financial gain.
Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social

Jack Smith thought Trump intended to exploit national security secrets for profit. Trump's second administration is suddenly a machine of trading on national security secrets. These are two scandals—but really just one. And the great powers re-evaluating America's role in the world are watching.

Ghislaine Maxwell is eligible to file a claim with Trump’s $1.8 billion theft of taxpayer dollars. 5 appointees of Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche would then decide if she should get some of your money. This is the Republican Party.

Republicans are hoping you don’t remember when they were putting Biden stickers on gas pumps when it was $3.00/gallon. Feels like those were the good old days, doesn’t it? #TrumpsGasFailure

Just wild that the Secret Service shot a Donald Trump supporter dead at Mar-a-Lago two months ago because he had a gun & was trying to kill the president over the Epstein files but—speaking only for myself—I haven’t heard a word about it amid the coverage tonight www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

snarkweasel.bsky.social reposted

This is just so corrupt on every conceivable level. There is no excusing it. These people are The Shittiest Gangsters and we need to throw them in jail for the rest of their lives.

The Trump administration says they are keeping Kristi Noem’s $70 million jet, outfitted with a queen-sized bed and cocktail bar, for Melania Trump to use.

So if we can automatically register people for selective service with no ID issues, why can't we do the same with voting?

Reminder: Israel’s navy consists of roughly 60 vessels, including submarines, surface combatants & missile boats. With 9.5k active personnel & over 10k reservists. Why isn’t Donald Trump demanding Israel secure the Straight of Hormuz? These are important questions.

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine. That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem testified that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. That’s just plain false. Listen to the U.S. Citizens who were wrongfully detained and denied critical care.

Given DOGE’s f#ckery at SSA, I am not thrilled that the “SAVE America Act” aims to compel states to purge voters via SSA’s Number Verification system & DHS’s SAVE program, which accesses the SSA system. I wish some election security experts would look at this & talk me down.

Ronan Farrow@ronanfarrow.bsky.social

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.
