Trump's foreign policy: deals with allies over diplomacy with rivals On brand for an abuser

White House cuts aid for state unemployment systems So much for efficiency...

Doesn't sound like the worst idea, really...

Venezuela probably gonna get even worse now, unfortunately. Pray for all the oppressed peoples of the world 🙏

Veterans who have less than 20 years of service and a disability rating under 50% get a dollar taken out of their retirement for every dollar they receive in disability compensation. One veteran is trying to change that policy, also known as the “wounded veterans tax."

If the sudden arrests and deportations of law-abiding immigrants checking in as ordered at government offices seems unprecedented, it’s because it is.

👀😬

💬 "There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine – neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either," says German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The lawyer who coined the term “genocide” warned that Moscow was set to erase Ukraine’s identity — and Putin’s invasion proved him devastatingly right. euromaidanpress.com/2025/05/26/t...

The Economist has the right of it while ABC is lost in bothsidesism while lending credibility to Trump’s bullshit 'rebuke' that will last all of 30 minutes, if that.

Russia's cooling economy facing 'hypothermia' risks, minister warns reut.rs/45qfLIM

On deportations and on foreign policy, the Trump administration is swapping out American values and violating everything the U.S. has stood for in exchange for kleptocracy and transactionalism with the world's worst tyrants.

If white South Africans were really getting killed by black people in racial pogroms, shouldn't more of them be trying to gain refugee status here? Dem aides tell me they've pressed the State Department to detail how many have applied to come. No answer yet. newrepublic.com/article/1956...

"I think we’re going to see a slow decline as people in the base realize what his policies are doing to them." https://trib.al/uOpFGUk

These words and actions send a clarion message of impunity to people considering political violence.

We know “job loss penalty” works better. Death by red tape is accurate. What I don’t get is why any Democrat is using the poll-tested lie “work requirements.”

‘Perfect time for us to come out;’ Hundreds rally against NATO Parliamentary Assembly for second day Utopian idiots 🙄 *sigh* Must be a nice world of theirs, without any unreasonable imperial revisionists or expansive communist totalitarians 😒

OPINION: With its new €150 billion “loans-for-arms” program, the EU has delivered what was unthinkable just five years ago: a joint bond issued to finance weapons procurement. But now it's time for the bloc to start its second engine to boost its defense revival.

One program distributes laptops in rural Iowa. Another helped people get back online after Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina. Trump has announced his intention to end it all, saying the federal grant program amounts to "woke handouts."

Galaxy S23 Ultra proves how robust Samsung phones are after emerging from an icy river Happy for this gentleman, but my last 3 Samsung phones (S20+, S21 Ultra, S23 Ultra) have all had shitty adhesive on the back panel that gives up the ghost after about 1-1.5 yrs... so I won't be testing my IP68...

Most Americans have no concept of the scope ($10+ Billion in daily corruption) & impact (undermining our national security, economy, democracy) of Trump’s corruption, because Corporate Media intentionally suppresses as to not appear anti-Trump.

The amount of naivety in the West is staggering, when it comes to dealing with Russia. The majority of Russians live their whole life by pushing others. It starts from childhood, permeates in every aspect of their lives and never ends. If you don’t push back, they will push you all eternity.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it
