Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨

Any other president would get impeached for this traitorous behavior. For Trump it’s just a day like every other.

⚡️️What Russia's doing to Ukraine is 'fine,' Trump says. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much," Trump said, hours after a Russian drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children.

I’ve created a tribute if sorts to the White House Press Secretary career of Katie Zacharia. She’s blonde, her name starts with the letter K. She loves Trump and kinda looks like Ivanka. It wasn’t enough. She’s also NOT an attorney.

He’ll release the details in two weeks.

Q: You want Zelenskyy out. Have you forgotten that President Putin started the war? TRUMP: Well, you know, I know the details, okay? And at some point I'll release the details. I want that war ended.

Maybe ChatGPT or Claude shut it off.

Q: Was it you or was it Elon Musk who decided to temporarily pause Starlink access for the Ukrainian military? TRUMP: I don't know if it was anybody, because it wasn't me, and I don't think it was Elon

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.

(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Finally watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Unfortunately in the version I watched they removed the cat from this scene. 😢

When someone leaves the Trump administration there’s always someone worse to take their place.

Rachel Campos-Duffy claims Ukraine has killed "a million kids on the Russian side"

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Reminds me of the line in the All in the Family song “Those Were the Days”: “We could really use a man like Herbert Hoover again.”

"I would say Donald Trump is probably at this point in his term the least popular Republican president since Herbert Hoover" -- Enten details how Trump is down 20 points of approval in Kansas relative to his first term

The world is getting tired of Ukraine Slowly. Quietly I understand - A war that lasts years Is not “interesting” anymore But our war didn’t end Ukraine is still fighting Still making russia weak And we are still dying - Soldiers, civilians, children Even if you don’t see it in the news

The best MAGA event is a cancelled MAGA event.

Khashoggi's Ghost@urocklive1.bsky.social

This year's Freedom Fest, the Northern Kentucky MAGA gathering that usually draws thousands of conservative attendees and speakers, has been called off entirely just days ahead of its scheduled start on Saturday. No one is buying tickets, so the show can't go on. www.rawstory.com/eric-deters-...

OOF -- Enten details how Trump went from +2 on Russia-Ukraine in 2024 to -33 (!) now, and how Zelenskyy polls among Americans at +13 compared to Trump's -18 (in other words, Zelenskyy is 31 points more popular in America than Trump!)

Steve Otteson reposted

Why is Trump planning to shutter the Kennedy Center? Because they told him to take his name off the building, and a malignant narcissist can’t accept rejection. He can’t accept defeat. He can’t accept not getting his way. It’s the same reason he will never concede losing in 2020…

🚨⛽ Trump is asking Zelenskyy to stop hitting Russia’s diesel infrastructure because Americans are angry about rising prices. But Ukraine did not create this crisis. The war with Iran and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz are major drivers of the global oil and diesel spike.

Republicans are not trustworthy negotiating partners. They lie every day. For some of them, it's part of their religion.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

What the hell, @adobe.com. I don't know what I pressed but Illustrator suddenly started doing a bunch of AI crap I never wanted. No way to cancel out until it was done, either. Yuck.
