Won’t sanction Russia further but puts Tariffs on the EU. Are you kidding me🤦‍♂️

Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano admitted he didn’t know what the job was when Trump nominated him: “I’m like, ‘Well, what am I going to do?’ So, I’m Googling Social Security…I’m like, ‘What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?’”

Trump isn’t even trying to hide his blatant corruption. It’s all out in the open. And once again, the media is failing to cover it like they would for any other president.

OTD in 1992 Russia, Ukraine, Belarus & Kazakhstan signed Lisbon protocol to promise to give their nukes to Russia. It also recognized *all 4 states* as legal successors to USSR. Thus, Kremlin concedes in law that Ukraine won WW2 just as much as we claim we did.

I'm lucky no one seems to want Iran to immediately suspend all arms deliveries to Russia.

Yet another AI-generated image falsely claiming to show the aftermath of a strike by the Houthis on Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport is making the rounds. This image is fake.

OTD in 1948 operation Vesna began in Lithuania. 40,000 people were deported to Siberia and replaced by Russians Imagine that kind of thing happening today.

Climatologist @petergleick.bsky.social wrote a good article on the important science getting killed by Trump and how it's bad for national security: thebulletin.org/2025/05/runn...

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Underpinning the intense feeling of frustration in Ukraine is a fact that appears obvious to almost everyone except Trump — that after 119 days, Putin has not made a single concession that suggests he is truly interested in peace.

⚡️US senators introduce bipartisan resolution demanding return of abducted Ukrainian children A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced a resolution calling for the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia before a peace agreement can be finalized in Russia's war against Ukraine.

Trump: “We were a laughing stock, an absolute laughing stock, but we're not a laughing stock any longer. And, as I said, I was talking to President Putin for two and a half hours. That was being very seriously listened to.” Who wants to tell him?

New emails document how a top aide to Tulsi Gabbard ordered analysts to edit an assessment with the hope of insulating President Trump and Ms. Gabbard from being attacked for the administration’s claim that Venezuela’s government controls a criminal gang www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

"Nobody will remove the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions from the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It reflects the realities of the time." - Russian State Duma. Invade a sovereign country, kill, destroy everything, and then claim it’s theirs. That’s the logic of the RF.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Helpful illustration of the US military aid to Ukraine already paid for and in the pipeline. If this continues despite Trump deciding "he is out", it's not terrible for Ukraine. Especially if they (and their European partners) are also allowed to purchase weapons at US manufacturers.

⚡️Zelensky dismisses Putin's demand to withdraw troops from 4 Ukrainian regions. "It means that they (Russia) don't want peace," President Volodymyr Zelensky said. "If they demand what they know we won't agree to," he added.

De kan sige, hvad de vil: @microsoft.com er Trump’s bitch. Hvis du eller din virksomhed pisser Den Orange af, eller måske bare bliver lidt for woke, så slukker de for din M365. Der er vist nogle CTOs der skal til at opdatere en risikomatrice.

And the rest of NATO remains committed to defending Denmark.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Thousands of Hungarians in Budapest protested against a new bill proposed by Orban, which is being compared to Russia's "foreign agent" law. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

They don't wanna talk about golden 747s and a 30% price increase at Walmart so they talk about Joe Biden's age

Just look at all these tanks "stuck in the mud" that prevented me from capturing Kiev in 5 hours. 😭

This headline works equally well as a literal description and as a metaphor for the Trump regime

Nikki Haley slams Trump for accepting a $400 million jet from Qatar as a gift: “Accepting gifts from foreign nations is never a good practice. It threatens intelligence and national security. Especially when that nation supports a terrorist organization...If this were Biden, we would be furious.”

This guy’s running public health. God help us all

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Cypriot politician and social media personality, Fidias Panayiotou. He’s best known for his clickbait YouTube stunts and for voting against aid to Ukraine and the return of abducted Ukrainian children from Russia. 1/20

Two days ago, Trump vowed not to lower his 145% tariffs as trade talks with China begin Now he’s already backing down to 80%. China’s breaking him in real time. Behind all the bombast, he’s just a weak, rattled man and China knows it.

Congratulations on owning yourself

Where would Trump be now if Fox News owner Murdoch had followed his first impulse to act in Nov. 2020 to “stop the Trump myth that the election [was] stolen”? ... We are living today w/ the consequences of Murdoch’s cowardly decision to instead spread Trump’s Big Lie - @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social

Sweet merciful Cthulhu. What the absolute hell has happened to this country? This is beyond embarrassing. There's no word for this.

"If Pakistan attacks India, I will not sit back, I will destroy Pakistan." A deepfake video of Donald Trump threatening Pakistan is doing the rounds on social media. I doubt an average user would spot it has been faked.

How it started. How it's going. #Victory80

⚡️ Ukraine detains Hungarian spy network in westernmost Zakarpattia Oblast, SBU reports. This marks the first time Ukrainian authorities have exposed a Hungarian military intelligence network conducting activities harmful to Ukraine.

⚡️ US court orders release of $12M RFE/RL funding after Trump administration freeze The ruling marks a significant victory for RFE/RL amid growing concerns about U.S. funding cuts to independent media countering Russian disinformation.

The fact that the Vatican elected an American anti MAGA pope even tho Donald said he wanted the job himself is a fantastic troll.

⚡️European Parliament passes resolution demanding return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Lawmakers urged the EU and its member states to step up efforts to hold Moscow accountable through international courts and support for Ukraine’s campaign to bring its children home.

⚡️Ukraine can rely on Europe, new German FM Wadephul says. New German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul pledged European support for Ukraine following a visit to Warsaw on May 7. "Everyone in Moscow must know that they have to reckon with us. Europe will support Ukraine," he said.

9 months ago today I bombed that kids hospital. You have imposed no meaningful consequences & Trump said "it's what anyone would do". To us in Kremlin, this means it is permitted. That's why we bombed the Palm Sunday service with cluster munitions.

May 8 - Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. Ukraine and Europe honor the millions lost in the deadliest war of the 20th century. We remember the resistance, the fallen, and the civilians who suffered under occupation, deportation, and forced labor. We remember.
