They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

Misunderstanding of what’s happening. This idea was true on April 9th/10th when he did the 90 day pause. What’s happening now is the fact the uncertainty is over, it’s now clear that the WH is not willing to destroy the economy for their vision, and they are willing to back down for very little.

He’s needed two weeks for about 2 months now

Knowing Russian prison lingo and culture is basically necessary now to understand the broader Russian culture and Russian lingo since they’re the same now

We don’t think Ukrainians could ever manage our super complex military equipment *drops fighter jet into the sea*

I have been alive longer than the Russian Federation has existed. The fact that they keep talking about anything with permanence considering their internal difficulties is laughable. The USSR didn’t even last a century. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/04/27/e...

Damn straight. A de jure recognition of Crimea without a security guarantee from the USA is a recipe for another invasion. The sharks circling Zelensky looking to stab him in the back and get Trumps favor for their own political gain cannot be allowed to endorse the original USA proposal either.

‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Security guarantees from the US were discussed in London, these guarantees should be at least as high as between the US and Israel, — Zelensky.

What American national interest is advanced by recognizing Crimea as part of Russia? The downsides are clear to me: reputational hit to the US in the world; Legitimizes use of force for annexation; Fosters division among our allies & within American society; alienates Ukrainians

Eleven years into the war this shouldn't have to be said. It's such an extreme shame that the western world cannot stand up to Russian aggression. Our leaders of the last 35 years will be trashed by historians.

We have become a fascist nation - everyone, please stay safe.

This post feels very relevant

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Trump thinks he can bully everyone into submission, but he can’t bully Adam Smith, who deals in reality. Markets know tariffs are taxes, and taxes are anti-growth. The Trump tariffs are the biggest economic policy mistake in decades ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Russia has become Syria's indispensable energy supplier because America continues to enforce the sanctions it imposed on a Syrian regime that no longer exists

The Western left isn't gargling Russian propaganda, it's just coincidence that they have basically the same historiography of WWII as the Russian Federation

Joni Ernst, Roger Wicker, and Thom Tillis all decided that letting an unqualified incompetent racist rapist run the DOD was preferable to copping a primary challenge

Kellogg said the U.S. is tired of the war in Ukraine. Same, General, same. If only the invaders could turn around and leave—it would be great.

again I would assert that people who think like this are actively detrimental to the anti-MAGA cause and should simply be removed from our spaces as much as possible

Putting effort into understanding what Ru thinks and why it wants to control Ukraine without equivalent effort to understand what Ukraine wants and why it resists Ru inevitably leads to justifying or minimizing Ru’s aggression.

Scumbag Yglesias thinks immigration is a loser issue. One, it’s dishonorable to abandon people to their fate in CECOT regardless of “optics.” Two, if *Joe Rogan* is repeatedly talking about how wrong this all is, it is not a loser issue.

❗️Putin has refused to extend the “Easter truce,” according to Kremlin spokesman Peskov. The so-called truce expires in 5 hours.

Today we celebrate Him

The US went from concern that China’s Belt-Road initiative was making gains in Africa, to ceding the world’s fastest-growing continent to China by pulling out the State Dept and cancelling various initiatives. This from the White House that says the top international priority is outcompeting China.

I think it important that we recognize while no President has had a more disastrous start to his term, no Vice President has either.

If you want to solve a real brain teaser, try to come up with one concession that the Trump administration has asked Russia to make. Can you?

I want to teach an honors course called “Every Regulation is Written in Blood” and just teach the young everything that had to be put in place to make the safe, clean American life they take for granted

They haven't even tried to put any pressure on russia...

feel like shit, just want him back

The US is now persistently voting with Russia in the UN in the most controversial votes on Russia attacking Ukraine. My question to US diplomats: Do you accept that the US votes with Russia that Russia is not guilty of the war in Ukraine? What are you going to do about it?

The military is frequently accused of preparing to fight the last war, but the US military doesn’t even do that anymore. It just fights the same battles over and over again. It’s a completely astrategic institution.

Sorry, not sorry.

🐈‍⬛Every life matters to Ukrainians. Rescuers found this kitten under the rubbles after the shelling of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Russia is a terrorist state!

The people in charge need to start saying innocent until PROVEN guilty more often, rather than due process. Just saying. It’s more emotionally charged and relatable when phrased as the former
