Imagine if, four years after invading Iraq, we controlled only 20% of it and had suffered 1.3 million casualties. Would anyone call that “winning”? Of course not. But when it’s Russia, we’re supposed to believe Putin holds all the cards.
Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.
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.
Billionaires who want to rig the rules to screw you are trying to buy this election. Don’t let them. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Elon Musk has spent roughly $366 million in the 2026 US midterm election cycle so far, $276 million of it since July to help Republicans retain control of Congress, even as Democrats' chances of reta...

This is psychosis. He is profoundly mentally ill. He is not fit to be in any position of power over anyone or anything. He should not control nuclear weapons.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.
Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.
We are ruining our own institutions, which is sad for us and great for our enemies.
Stars and Stripes@starsandstripes.bsky.social · 2mo agoA civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.
I wish there were a single sentence that could simultaneously encapsulate and explain every single problem we have in modern society.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.
It is not humiliating for him, since he has no sense of dignity, but it is humiliating for the rest of us that the president of the United States serves as a subordinate press officer of the Kremlin. (1/2)
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.
So excited to read the books coming out in 2029 about Trump’s cognitive decline in 2025-2026.
This was one of those days truly embarrassing to be an American.
Hegseth is systematically destroying and dismantling the greatest military force in the world. Another great day for Putin and Xi.
They think this bullshit is going to keep them in the majority after screwing the American people and covering up Trump’s corruption.
The United States has never looked weaker or more ridiculous and incompetent to allies and enemies around the world than we do right now.
The endless corruption of the Trump regime polluting every aspect of American life as average citizens get stomped on by the wealthy and powerful who have a government easily bribed. There is no law and order for corporations and the wealthy in Trump’s America.
As we have seen in Texas, Florida, and other places, Republicans can control everything for 30 years in their states and still blame Democrats for their failures, so what Republicans are doing nationally is their standard playbook. They accept responsibility for nothing.
One of Putin’s most important allies who have supplied troops, weapons and equipment to Russia to kill Ukrainians is Kim Jong Un and North Korea - the dictator and country Traitor Trump praised and sided with today over one of our closest military allies and trading partners.
Trump to service members doing a record long deployment in deplorable conditions: Fuck you, I'm going to my country club for a weekend of golf. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2mo agoReporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln. Trump: No they’re not. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.
The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 3mo agoIs this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
Just discovered the video feature on Spotify. Game changer. #80s90s20s.
Todd Blanche having his conformation vote at 4:00 AM tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans in Congress operate. They reserve their most toxic moves for the dead of night.
The reason why Trump and his cabinet officials are so crazed about hunting down leakers is simply because they don’t want the American people to know what they are doing because they are insanely corrupt & incompetent. The lengths they go to cover everything up also proves that.
All that’s left for Max Miller at this point is to publish a book called, ‘If I Did It.’
