Was just talking with a group of scholars about all the primary sources and reports that have been disappearing along with the research and teaching losses associated already -- USAID, USIP, Wilson Center, White House transcripts and older files, speeches, reports ... with much more imperiledšŸ—ƒļø

stop writing that he’s leaving DOGE without mentioning that just a few days ago the solicitor general told the United States Supreme Court that he is not part of DOGE

Russian media report that Zaur Gurtsiyev, who was responsible for strikes on Mariupol, has been blown up in Russian Stavropol. Reportedly, a person carrying an explosive device came up to him near a residential building. Both of them died. Gurtsiyev led the air strikes on Mariupol.

President Trump published the following image on TruthSocial:

The updated total is that TACO Trump has now pardoned NINE former Republican members of Congress convicted of crimes.

Germany will finance production & procurement of Ukrainian long-range missiles šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦šŸ‡©šŸ‡ŖšŸ’Ŗ An important long-term step that will strengthen Ukraine’s self-defense & economy as well as Germany’s own military capabilities. We have more to learn from partnering with šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ than they from us.

While Trump makes vague threats to Putin on social media, the US blocks G7 from tightening the cap on Russian oil kyivindependent.com/us-blocks-g7...

The Trump admin seems to have adopted the approach that if they just do all the criming right out in the open brazenly then nobody can accuse them of covering anything up.

Trump with another nothingburger. Always the tough talk, never the action. Stop bragging, start acting like a leader. "What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!"

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

Trump openly admits to shielding Russia. Refreshingly honest for a change.

We love to see it.

A retired Bulgarian diplomat told me the russians switched very quickly/seamlessly from communist brotherhood to Slavic/Orthodox brotherhood. Even before the USSR collapsed, they floated Orthodoxy as the new basis of the same vassal relationship. They're using Orthodoxy for imperial expansion.

Don't be fooled by any of Trump's performative BS. Unless he actually pushes for sanctions, this is the crocodile tears of a narcissistic sociopath. Also, note that he blames Zelensky as much as Putin for the war--those bad Ukrainians, asking to be invaded!

Caveman Trump. Always giving in on tariffs at the deadline while getting no deals in return. Concepts of deals though. Lots of stuff happening behind the scenes. Any day now. Golden Age.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

Trump in 1944: I don't know what the hell happened to Hitler. I'm surprised.

It’s not Zelensky’s war or Biden’s war or Trump’s war. It is Putin’s war. Why can’t Trump simply say that? Why is he obsessed with blaming everyone else? It is a simple and obvious truth that should be stated with moral clarity. But the US president is a liar and a coward.
