It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
The left: we want the Epstein files The right: we want the Epstein files The center: we want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is Fauci’s diary, some lies about the reflecting pool, and a failed war in Iran
Whoever advised Max Miller to go on to Jake Tapper’s show secretly hates him. What a catastrophic interview
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
You can either tell the truth or you can work for Trump. You can’t do both.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoNEW: Jake Taylor from MSNOW says Jeanine Pirro just arrived at the West Wing. Uh oh! Methinks her days are numbered!
I doubt this is actually the end of the fund, but it’s probably enough to give the GOP cover to confirm Blanche.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: Todd Blanche just issued a formal order that appears to terminate Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund and limit the scope of the IRS audit immunity deal applying to Trump and his family.
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 20ish mins, gogo!
Also, heads up: going to try to do an AMA tomorrow evening. Sorry for the late notice - I’ve been absolutely swamped this week/weekend
Trump’s entire statement is a lie. It’s just this week’s walkback of a threat he isn’t willing to actually carry out. What incentive does Iran have to negotiate in good faith? The 30th “fire and fury” message from Trump simply doesn’t hit the same.
Trump may disagree with Pirro, but there are apparently limits to how much she’s willing to lie to propagate his narrative. If DOJ had any evidence, even circumstantial, they would be charging people.
To be fair, turning a blind eye to abuse is kind of Gym’s thing
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 5d ago“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*
The administration is currently floating the idea of knocking out energy targets in Iran, but to wrap the bombing up before the stock market opens on Monday. These are not serious people.
Sure, sure, let’s just downplay an attack by a hostile foreign actor. Iran has some of the most persistent — and effective — hackers on the planet. This is irresponsible as hell from Trump.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoQ: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
This was intentional. First drones, now missiles. Russia is gauging NATO’s (specifically the US) response to these violations. Every time they strike far Western Ukraine, they get data on Polish operating procedures - alerts, jets scrambled, communications with allies, etc.
The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Absolute clown show. But the republicans are getting their soundbites, which was the whole purpose of this farce
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
“So how do we make Lindsey Graham’s funeral all about Donald Trump?” Barf.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
Zoomed in on a corner so we can’t identify all the apparent AI shit in the photo - smart, but definitely not convincing anyone
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last wk.BREAKING: A statement from the Office of the Attending Physician says Mitch McConnell "is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office." A photo from McConnell's office:
Trump can’t fire JD Vance. Thank you for your attention to this matter
Yep. Weapons can broadly be classified in two terms: Exquisite - the good shit. Expensive. Limited stock. Affordable mass - scalable production, large quantities, easy to replace. We’ve been using a lot of JASSM/JASSM-ER, TLAMs, PAC-3 interceptors, etc. That’s the good shit.
Biden depleted our stockpiles. It’s a lie that our stockpiles are depleted. The people leaking this should be in jail. This is some insane mental gymnastics even for Mike Waltz
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail
Unbelievable. They clearly don’t understand the Iranian regime if they think economic pressure is going to work. Iran understands they have the leverage here. They’ll keep playing Trump like a puppet until he gets all the way in, or all the way out of the war. Hopefully out.
