Why? Why? Why? Facts are facts, and they are incriminating without getting the answers about why-oh-why DJT submits to Putin. Just look at his submissive handshake. Who is in control here? Putin. Why? Credit to @lincolnproject.us for issuing this excellent videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYWT...

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...

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😳 (Former chair of the Tennessee Libertarian Party👇🏽)

A thread about Christian Nationalism —yes, capitalized and very real. Hope it offers some starting points.

I’m prepping a thread 🧵 on Christian nationalism in America. As a former believer, I saw firsthand Christian reactions to Bill Clinton. Make no mistake, churches ignore their 501(c)(3) non-profit rule barring them from endorsing or opposing political candidates, especially now under Trump’s IRS.

For anyone curious about the roots of Christian nationalism in modern American politics, I'd suggest starting with David Barton and the evangelical mobilization around George W. Bush's 2000 campaign, then following the thread forward to figures like Sean Feucht today.

"A closer look at the data reveals a brute-force guessing machine, not a reasoning intellect. Mathematics isn't dead; it's being spammed, strip-mined, and exploited by an industry that needs human creativity more than it admits." emeraldbook.org/news/oct-162...

No one could have foreseen this. Wake up, Canada. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

It is wrong to invite Putin to the upcoming G20, to permit him to sit at a conference table with leaders of countries he is attacking, and to pretend that he is entitled to equal status as an accepted member of the international community.

“Evil” It’s an interesting word that has been used, misused, abused for a very long time. What is it? Who gets to decide what it is? And can that change? Or does it keep a certain “moral DNA”? I’m going to draft a Substack essay on this mainly as an open notes exercise.

The Diplomat’s season 4 finale (Netflix) reminds us of the cowardice, arrogance, and delusion pumping through the veins and minds of the American VP, Secretary of State, and others in the Trump regime.

The world watches the continuing pogrom. The irony is not lost on us. A Russian word once coined to describe what happened to Jewish communities starting in the late 1800s is now the word we can use for what Jewish settlers are doing to Palestinians. —and they do it without shame.

I’m waiting for freedom of speech and press warriors like Douglas Murray to speak up about what’s been happening to journalists in Israel. —Oh, wait, he already has. OK, are there any other pro-Israel writers with the stones and moral backbone who can hold multiple truths at the same time?

Behold the face of cowardice and immorality. (By the way, I do not like Instagram or any other Meta service, but if this helps get the news out, then so be it.) www.instagram.com/p/Dd9NsYUkcW...

We will neither forget nor forgive.

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Excellent summary of the present state of relations between Russian and American oligarchical clans. Please read and share. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

As an American, I am 100% against capital punishment.

He warned us. And now we’re strapped with an anti-science, ignorant kleptocratic government striking a balance between idiocracy and autocracy.

🤢

So the lesson is you can get a 2:1 outcome with enough damage? 🫠

Once again, @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu draws attention to the underlying layers of corruption and surreptitious conflicts of power Trump & family are more than happy to create.

If you cannot admit the truth of this, then which is it? a) You're in a socially unsafe space. b) You're in a legally confused nation. c) You're morally confused. d) You're amoral. That should cover most bases.

Need a palette-cleanser to rinse the ick after seeing MAGA senators attack Jack Smith? @booker.senate.gov delivered this reminder of what happened: 1. Trump lost in 2020 2. The hearing was a farce and a gaslighting show 3. Jack Smith and his team do not deserve this youtu.be/WpeRkrSFpYM?...

My last political post (I hope) for the weekend. Isn’t great to have the worst of us operating in the highest offices of our republic?

Will society unravel by finding out the rest of the Epstein Files? —well, I would argue we’re already unraveling under the current administration. -> They’re the only ones with something to lose.

From the horse’s mouth:

Only sympathizers of colonialism would say these kinds of things. 

Jimmy Kimmel’s Interview with James Talarico That the FCC Doesn’t Want You To See You wouldn't want to share it or anything :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLDE...

Kushner and his pa are predators in the swamp Trump created. And who is setting terms for him? Putin.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Lie after lie

The only desk Trump should be sitting at…

“Whatever it is you think you’re going to see, you’re not prepared.“ No truer words were spoken, by a guide no less. They were lying to people before they knew what was about to happen. And then the tree. 🤯 #Silo just got mega-real.

He didn't do it alone. He never could have. Congress has subpoena power. It needs to use it. Flood Congress: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Happy 35th anniversary to Ukraine, a country I first visited when it was still part of the Soviet Union. In a single generation Ukraine has transformed itself into a symbol of bravery, resilience and independence. Ukrainians should be proud.

35 years of a Ukrainian independence. As a person: grateful to the activists, soldiers, and people just holding on who have given the rest of us a chance to see solidarity, courage, and commitment. (1/2)

Great to see Marine families like the Barr’s standing up for what’s right in Michigan. Great to see @slotkin.senate.gov leading a coalition of coherence where it matters, too. Let’s hope the rest of the DNC is paying attention as we roll into the last few months of the midterms, not to mention 2028.
