Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

1. I have said it before and I will say it again that the last election was decided not on policy, but on information, and given the result of that election, it’s safe to say that we have entered a new era, a kind of American Dark Ages, in which superstition, fear and ignorance reign supreme.

Strong evidence presented that Linda McMahon knew about a former ring announcer's fetish for young boys' feet, & that she cruelly fired a young man rehired as an adult as part of a settlement over the abuse scandal. She showed up to try to deny him unemployment. He committed suicide years later.

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.

"Press opportunities are a farce. If you try to get an autocrat to give you good answers and hold them accountable for their policies or actions, they’re going to use all the strategies they have at their disposal to not do that. Reporters are left with, 'This is what he said, but this is not true'"

I've been on holidays, so not experiencing this in real time in the newsroom, but as shocking as the day to day to day outrages from Trump&Co are, it's the coup – and that it's being allowed to happen – that has floored me. This scoop from @rothandrew.bsky.social is a must read
