Questa è una registrazione storica.
Chi è questa persona?
Il video mostra l'attuale Segretario di Stato degli Stati Uniti🇺🇸 @SecRubio nel 2014, mentre esprime indignazione per il fatto che gli Stati Uniti abbiano costretto l'Ucraina 🇺🇦 a rinunciare a 1900 testate nucleari, e assicura che gli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 "difenderanno l'Ucraina per sempre".
Sono passati 12 anni.
Ora Marco Rubio,
sotto la pressione di @realDonaldTrump
è uno dei primi a convincere l'Ucraina ad accettare la capitolazione davanti al aggressore russo…

US Marshals, acting on behalf of the DOJ in Memphis, TN, kicked a dog during an arrest, leaving it with a broken rib. Fedbois target the defenseless like serial killers.
It's well documented— they find joy in the suffering of innocent animals.
What should be his punishment?

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them.

Here’s the 60 Minutes segment that CBS suddenly refused to air—after Trump criticized the show.
Take a few minutes to watch what they didn’t want you to see. This story should be told:

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed.

It’s the Kennedy Center.
It’s the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s the Dept of Defense.
Just like:
It’s science.
It’s math.
It’s the law.
It’s decency.
It’s honor.
It’s truth.
All will be restored, hopefully much sooner than later.

One of my favorite journalism art forms is the obituary, and among my favorites is the NYT "Overlooked No More" series. I just stumbled on this one of Molly Drake, best known as Nick Drake's mom, and ... you just have to read it. nytimes.com/2025/08/13/obitu…

Molly Drake was an unsung yet profoundly moving poet, singer, pianist and composer whose melancholic songs hit on universal themes of despair, heartbreak, longing and loss. She was also the mother of the musician Nick Drake. nyti.ms/4fBxdNL
