No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.
⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

As a political science professor, I can confidently say: If I asked a student to define "socialism" on an exam and they wrote that, they would get an F
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

NEW: The Trump administration keeps denying and downplaying that immigration agents have been detaining Americans. It’s wrong. We’ve found more than 500 U.S. citizens have been held against their will, including handcuffed or held at gunpoint.

In her last hours as DHS Secy, Noem's agency bought 5 planes from a donor at markups. In all, DHS gave $900M in contracts to that donor’s companies during her term. One plane had electronic bidets, 2 bedrooms, bar, wine chiller, a manta-ray skin table. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

Trump and the people around him have no sense of patriotism or sovereignty. To them, politics is another grift—another way to the top. But as we are seeing, Canada doesn’t share their view. Canada has a plan and they are acting—and America will now lose the most, thanks to Trump and his people (2/2)

Wildfires are 4 times more likely to start near roads than in roadless areas. More roads = more fire. Trump is selling out your public lands for development while over 2.6 million acres of Oregon burn in a record wildfire season.
The 2 million Oregon acres include areas such as Lost Lake and Mirror Lake near Mount Hood, plus sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and Timberline Trail. https://mrf.lu/2R-8x

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

Confronted with an obvious need for renewable energy, Trump admin officials used taxpayer money to scuttle an offshore wind project. Then they did it again. And again. And again. And this week, again. Total price tag in wasted taxpayer money: ~$4 billion and counting www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Let’s be clear: the concessions they’re looking for are just for Blanche to put in writing that the president, his family, and their businesses won’t have an eternal freedom to cheat on their taxes. That’s all (and apparently that’s too much).
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he may pull Blanche's nomination for attorney general, looking to avoid concessions to holdout Republicans.
