US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

How does having trained staff at places like DHS, DOEd, DHHS, & DOC protect Americans? Without them, we couldn't fight child abuse, prosecute CSAM traffickers, & prevent early deaths. Your federal government is a cooperative of highly skilled, dedicated citizens who work to protect kids everyday.

Anyone want to explain to me how it makes any sense that the US and Russia are trying to negotiate the end to the war in Ukraine without any sort of Ukrainian delegation?

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

The Stonewall Monument website was changed to remove all references to trans people (done by the administration, not NPS). Just now, I noticed that the Internet Archive has an error when searching for the archived versions of the site. They were available yesterday. What gives @archive.org ??

You should ask yourself why the GOP wants to impeach judges who rule against them but not Clarence Thomas, who failed to report millions of dollars in bribes, erm, “gifts” on his financial disclosures.

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.
