What, are they just figuring out now what they have signed onto?

Excellent statement from British Ministry Defence explaining that it would take Russia another 4.4 years and over a million more dead Russians to occupy just these 4 regions of Ukraine.
Imagine if the US were to just sanction russia.. Putin would be gone.

Putinization was, and is, first and foremost a criminal looting and money laundering operation. Trump's American version is no different.
I wrote in May that Trump's corruption cannot be compared to anything in past US history, not to Watergate, not to Teapot Dome. It's analogs are found in the post-Soviet republics and post-colonial African dictatorships. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

See this kid? With that haircut and that Star Trek shirt, he learned to stand up to bullies at a young age. Well that's me, and I've been doing it ever since.
Billionaires? D.C. insiders? Bullies.
And I'll stand up to them just like I did in second grade.

2 more back to back deaths today in Russia. And no not falling out of a window for a change.
Former head of the Ministry of Transport, Roman Starovoit, fired by Putin this morning, was found dead with gunshot wounds. Hours later, 42 year old transport ministry official Andrey Korneichuk dropped dead during a meeting.

We’re not “losing” shit. We broke it intentionally. This wasn’t a solar flare that knocked out our satellites. This was us taking a machete to an advanced weather system because some dumbfucks thought it was going to own the libs rather drown their families
Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @ZoeSchlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

But…I’m a vaccine scientist, I develop vaccines, including a low-cost patent-free COVID vaccine that reached 100 million people (and perhaps saved 300,000-500,000 lives). That’s what I do, it’s why I was invited. He’s upset I don’t pretend to be a wellness/supplement influencer?

There is no “one and done” in any conflict.
The opponent always gets a vote, and unless we’ve prepped for all the things Iran may do we’re gonna have some surprises.

I want to go back to the day when federal law enforcement officials didn't cover their faces like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and the KKK.

Remember: a priority and mandate of the Trump administration is to solve Putin's problems. And if you partner with Putin, you must be on good terms with Belarus, which is a Kremlin tool and client state.
This is how far gone America is. Reprehensible to see @generalkellogg hugging Lukashenka, a murdering dictator thug. But he is a US ally now along with his boss Putin
An American general should be filled with shame for this

This is what I an trying to communicate
Elon Musk says he'll step back from the government. While it may seem as though the worst excesses of DOGE have passed, the reality is, the whole government is DOGE now.

NEW -- Yes, there absolutely was media malfeasance in our coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign.
No, it wasn't about Joe Biden being old.
It was about how we normalized the hell out of a man who had already tried to end American democracy once.

Just going to blast this on repeat, as it becomes newly relevant every day.
Otis "Oats" Fife retweeted
Intelligence analysts entire job is speaking uncomfortable truths to those in power.
Unbiased information is vital for decision making.
Trying to force them to color their product in a way that won’t embarrass the president is dangerous, and it’s wrong.
NBC News confirms: The chief of staff to DNI Tulsi Gabbard asked analysts to revise an intelligence assessment on the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua — after it contradicted Trump's claims to justify deportations — to shield Trump and Gabbard from political criticism. @MSNBC

This is how you show utter scorn for international law and rule of law at home, and strike deals with other lawless governments. They refuse to clarify because giving an answer would already be a form of accountability.

Don't confuse the person and the apparatus. His DOGE is entrenched and still in control of federal agencies.
Now that Elon Musk has pulled back from his full-time government role, he posts about space travel, electric vehicles and artificial intelligence.
He rarely mentions Trump.
The shift mirrors Musk’s effort to revive the companies he controls. wapo.st/43qObIS

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill.
But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about.
