The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

@maxboot.bsky.social: "Not for the first time, it seems the wily Putin has manipulated a credulous Trump," and Zelensky has the best explanation: Putin is autocratic and uber-wealthy, and Trump says "openly and loudly that he loves such people and he respects such people.” Gift link🎁 wapo.st/4scTeZj

what is amazing is that i was fired by MSNBC for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk. And CBS refuses to do anything about journalists telling lies about Dem. candidates. Unreal.

This is nothing less than a battlefield intervention by the US in favour of Russia.

A good summary here of how much Meta is in the tank for Trump. And a reminder that the authoritarian threat comes not just from within the Trump administration but from its oligarchic allies. Oligarchic power is now a clear and present threat to our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Hey, JD, why not settle this the right way and challenge El-Sayed to meet behind the Waffle House after the Friday night game. Me, I’ll take the guy who was captain of every sports team he played on vs the pudgy guy cut from the golf team. How about it?

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

Hegseth: "We need students of western civilization and the pillars of our republic. Leaders who understand the faith of Jerusalem, the philosophy of anthems -- Athens. The power of Rome, and the freedom of Philadelphia circa 1776."

Any Democrat running for President who wants to win the nomination and then the general election absolutely must commit to prosecuting Trump, Hegseth, Patel, and all corrupt members of Administration. They must be held accountable.

The Russian oligarch who helped pay for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding celebration is under Ukrainian sanctions for his alleged role in the forced relocation of Ukrainian children, a program tied to an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 kids taken from their families.

Was in Kyiv yesterday. Most air raid alerts of entire war. But it was beautiful, sunny day and streets were full of Ukrainians saying fuck you to Russians by enjoying life. Ukraine is life. Russia is death. Ukraine is winning.
