Trump doesn’t lead, he rules by grievance. He weaponizes loyalty, punishes honesty, and calls it patriotism. The man who promised to “drain the swamp” has turned it into a toxic lagoon where billionaires breed and democracy drowns.

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

This 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻- listen to Charlie. He knows what is up. There are sooooo many far right candidates for the BC Conservative Party and we can’t allow them to run this province.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Asked in Brussels whether Donald Trump is using him as a scapegoat for US domestic troubles ahead of midterms, Volodymyr Zelensky offered a knowing smile. "This is my answer," he told reporters with a grin before wrapping up the press conference.

Our recent conversation with the wonderful @davidfrum.bsky.social of my beloved @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Now is the time to show up. For Alberta and for Canada. Thanks to Blake Lough and Global News for the conversation this morning in Calgary.

United, there is nothing we can't do. Forever Canada. 🇨🇦

Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Ukraine has damaged perceptions of the U.S. inside the country, but many Ukrainians still consider America to be the “leader of the free world,” journalist Illia Ponomarenko explains on The David Frum Show.

FBI Director Kash Patel has arrived in Russia. It is reported that he plans to visit Moscow and St Petersburg, and his visit is coordinated by the FSB.

President Zelenskyy at an interview with Piers Morgan: We can't be weak, otherwise we can't survive. We are not selling our country. It's not about business for us. It's our life. And this is our country, it's our body, our home, our children. And this is very important for us.

Piers Morgan: “Do you feel you’re losing America?” Zelensky: “Yes. It’s a pity that we’re losing such a strong partner. But not because of us. We can’t [afford to] be weak.”

Former Trump Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg said he would tell Zelensky to strike every Russian oil refinery, arguing there should be no military sanctuaries. “I’d burn down every one of the goddamn refineries that Russia has today. Take them all out. Make them pay the price.” #Ukraine

I believe America should stand with democracies, not dictatorships. Is that really such a controversial position?

@chrystia-freeland.bsky.social reacts to Trump forgoing our alliance with Ukraine so that he can strengthen his relationship with Putin: “America is committing superpower suicide…America, for no good reason, is throwing away this amazing thing it built. It's vandalism.”

Bill Browder: Putin has got a major shortage of diesel fuel in Russia, and so I don't believe that he's actually gonna supply the fuel. Second, the amounts are de minimis compared to what the United States actually needs.

Russia has had the same leaders for 26 years. Why hasn’t Trump ever called for a new Russian president?

And of course, Zelensky’s support ratings in Ukraine will now soar through the roof again. Trump, just like Putin, is a true master at repeatedly throwing a rake in his own path, only to step on it and get painfully smacked in the forehead over and over again.

Trump has once again announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both sides have agreed. Zelenskyy: ??? Putin: ??? And literally an hour after Trump’s announcement, Russia struck Kharkiv’s thermal power plant.

Kellogg turns against Trump. Former US special envoy for Ukraine, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, says Ukraine should continue striking Russian oil refineries. “This is war. They are attacking correctly,” he said, backing Kyiv’s continued campaign against Russian refining infrastructure. #Ukraine

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement": "You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other,

To every ghoul in that audience who laughed at Trump talking about Iran obliterating San Diego and Los Angeles: those cities are filled with families, children, and people we love. If American lives mean that little to you, I have three words for you: GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

“In a prime-time speech, Donald Trump tried to cast doubt on the reliability and safety of the American election system,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social says. “Unfortunately, the claims he was making weren’t backed up by the documents.” Read the full story: theatln.tc/vmuqYjzl

Roughly 40% of the Canadian landmass is forests, amounting to 369 million hectares. Sure Donald, we'll grab our rakes and get right on that. Also, glass houses..

Yes, as I sit on my patio in the Okanagan watching the smoke roll in from fires in Washington state.

Hi @reptedlieu.bsky.social Please see below for yet more reasons why your pleas to exempt California from our boycott can’t land… This madman & his cronies are an existential threat to Canada and no, we can’t entertain softening our stance #ElbowsUp #Never51st #ImpeachIndictConvict

“Putin harms the German people. Putin harms Europe. Putin is killing people in Europe.” - Jürgen Hardt, member of the German Bundestag from Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), addressing the Alternative for Germany (AfD).

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

We’re giving an unprecedented boost to EU–Mexico trade relations. Eliminating virtually all tariffs, saving businesses millions. Giving wider choice to consumers.

The US and it's peer group of nutty climate deniers: Russia, Iran and Israel.

Your Saturday FYI: Russia is getting its ass handed to it, by Ukraine. Ukraine has “the cards.” Slava Ukrainii

Trump militant Mike Pompeo is getting the red carpet treatment from Canada's right wing. Along with Pete Hoekstra. They will be joined by Poilievre and Danielle Smith at a conference in Ottawa. We need to pay attention to the MAGA attempt to undermine our country. youtu.be/7Ghl-XJBvvk?...

Please send JD Vance to support Nigel Farage, the Rassemblent National and thee AfD!

‘Hungary, Europe!’ Spontaneous chant I just heard on streets of Budapest … Supermajority means Tisza really can dismantle the Orban system… and Orban has conceded… It will be a tough road ahead but truly hard to imagine a better result… I’ll be writing about it soon…

Yup, and again, way to fucking go America. You really outdid yourselves with this monster

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.
