Russians helplessly watched as Ukrainian Trojan drones took off one after another from the container parked next to an air base to strike strategic bombers.

Russia still has the opportunity to surrender and withdraw fully from Ukraine, peace is in their hands if they want it.

Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

18 April 1914 | A Polish Jew, Pinkwas Ledermann, was born. A tailor. In #Auschwitz from 30 January 1942. No. 26220 He perished in the camp 22 March 1942.

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

Meiselas: A 20-year-old American citizen was being held by ICE. Protests happened all day, and as public pressure mounted… This guy is an American citizen. But the public pressure was so intense that the Trump regime folded. He was released

As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

This is an extraordinary interview by Heather Cox Richardson of Senator Angus King, and is well worth listening to the entire interview. Very solid suggestions on what people can do to influence Congress and the Republican Party, which is abdicating congressional powers to a psychopathic, narcissist

“The checks and balances in the U.S. Constitution look very much like those that were in place in Rome before Augustus,” writes Michelle Berenfeld. “There were none after him”:

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of April 18, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A massive crowd at Coachella erupted in boos when Senator Bernie Sanders mentioned Donald Trump during a surprise appearance tonight

This is Gestapo. This is fascism.

1-6 The UK government is taking control of the Scunthorpe Steel works. Its Chinese owners were in the process of driving the facility into the ground. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

ah, I see the answer to "how is any of this going to work in practice" is "it isn't"

No revenues but at the same time people here are curtailing their purchases and investments, and other countries *are* collecting tariffs on U.S. imports. The worst of all worlds! Only a stable genius could have accomplished all this!!

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

I don’t know what the administration expected other countries to do. Just continue to have faith in our assets?

Under the Trump administration, America is retreating from hard power, surrendering soft power, and yielding economic power, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. Is this what greatness looks like?

My God

As I wrote yesterday, SCOTUS left a hole in its Abrego Garcia order and the Trump administration is trying to drive a truck through it. & h/t to @annabower.bsky.social for great reporting on this hearing. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

TomEBoy66 🇨🇦 ‪@tommyboy66.bsky.social‬ I know it isnt Americans it's an insane Administration but in Canada... Ive NEVER seen popular sentiment just openly hostile to the US. The feeling of betrayal has united the Country and in Canada... that's hard to do lol

russia adds metal balls to the warheads of the ‘Shahed drone’ to increase civilian casualties. Russia is a terrorist state!

What kind of America do you want? An America that expels people bcuz of their beliefs? An America that detains people bcuz of what they say? An America that grabs people, throws them on a plane, and puts them in an El Salvador jail without any due process? No longer hypothetical scenarios.

And this is why countries are dumping their U.S. treasuries and dollars.
