Every accusation is an intention.

In a first test of the Trump administration’s ability to respond to an infectious disease emergency, its top health official has shied away from one of the government’s most important tools, experts said on Sunday: loudly and directly encouraging parents to get their children vaccinated.

This is a loudly blown whistle.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

"America is out. We are effectively, from my view, under Russian occupation." Andrea Chalupa #resist #russianoccupation

"I gotta be honest, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other" - JD Vance in 2022. Explains a lot of today's behavior.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

Fourteen retired federal judges, including Nancy Gertner and Shira Scheindlin, argue that if Judge Dale Ho finds that DOJ's request to dismiss the Eric Adams case is part of a quid pro quo, he should reject the request and maybe appoint a special prosecutor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Over 3.5 million Americans had their votes canceled in the 2024 election, according to investigative journalist @gregpalast.bsky.social . Jim Crow is back. Here’s how to protect the midterms elections: loom.ly/H0nR12w #oligarchy #dictatorship #dictatortrump

A glance at popular Japanese YouTube comments in response to a TBS report about the Trump-Zelensky meeting: "Heated argument in front of cameras: U.S.-Ukraine summit ends in discord" - no surprises here, it looked terrible from the perspective of a US ally. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aerO...

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

I think this is one of the biggest factors The meanness of inviting someone to your house, only to berate them and then kick them out- it breaks every rule of hospitality in the world. It’s gross

In response to a question about Trump leverage over the GOP: substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

Nothing good can come out of mending relations while russia is still an unabashedly expansionist aggressive dictatorship. Trump says he’s working for peace but really he’s aiding, normalizing, and emboldening russia to continue its aggression.

This is money already owed. For work already done. They’re asking SCOTUS to let Trump run the government the way he runs his businesses.

One child has died and more than 130 people have fallen ill in measles outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico. Here’s what to know about measles symptoms and transmission.

A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday blocked an executive order that President Trump signed shortly after he was sworn in that suspended a decades-old program admitting thousands of refugees into the U.S. each year.

An Arizona woman has been awarded $7.25 million by a federal court in California after a day of magic at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter with her grandson ended in a debilitating medical disaster.

Protesting today at Senator Ron Johnson's Madison office on my lunch hour. There were about 500 people there. These cuts to Medicaid will kill people. PEOPLE WHO NEED TO LIVE more than billionaires need tax cuts. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social quote - she is my truth teller and inspiration.

Pope Francis, who’s currently in the hospital in critical condition, shared a prewritten statement for a mass service today. He called out Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying it is “a painful and shameful occasion for the whole of humanity.” Nailed it.

To understand the moment we are in as a country, this is incredibly important to take in:

"Caine has not served in any of the roles — Joint Chiefs vice chairman, chief of staff for one of the branches of the armed service, or head of a combatant command — that nominees are legally required to have performed in order to be nominated." www.npr.org/2025/02/22/g...

Ukraine was warned it faced an imminent shutdown of Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system unless it signed the extortion deal on rare earth minerals, Reuters reports.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

📬🚨 HUGE NEWS 📬🚨 Trump plans to fire the USPS governing board, merge the Postal Service into the Commerce Department. It would disrupt 55 years of non-political mail service, and threatens to upend trillions of dollars of ecommerce and the 250 year-old US mail system.

McConnell's legacy is grim - he fought campaign finance reform, stonewalled Supreme court nominees - but what stands out most? More than any single person, he had the chance to end Trump but chose not to do so, even as he understood the risk Trump posed. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

At the press conference, McConnell stated, "I already broke everything there is to break. Time to die. I really hate you all." He had more prepared remarks but once again did a full reboot in public and ran out of time.
