My thoughts: having been in quite a few diplomatic discussions, JD Vance’s comment on Zelenskyy hosting “propaganda tours for world leaders to ask for money” was a planned one. Going in, US knew Zelenskyy won’t sign anything without security guarantees, this theater was needed to reason US’ exit

Watching world leaders push back on Trump this week has been a delight to behold. Nice to see what true leaders look and act like again. Has it really only been 5 weeks?

And Trump will let it happen because President Zelensky won’t PIF Trump’s protection fee.

Vance accusing Zelensky of being on a propaganda tour when the man has been fighting a war for 3 years, lost almost 50K citizens and entire cities, is some high level Russian BS. Accusations are always confessions with MAGA.

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

Sounds like the Hegseth vote is going to be close, so tomorrow morning would be a really good time to call your senators and ask them to vote against someone so reprehensible and unqualified. Ask them to please put the good of the country ahead of the desire of Donald Trump.

There was an ICE raid in Newark, NJ today. Nothing new. These targeted raids have been happening regularly for yrs. 33 non-citizens were nabbed in Newark last Oct when Biden was prez. The difference? Trump puts a camera on the raids. Why? To get Americans to think he’s doing something new. He’s not.

Rescinding the cap on insulin at $35 only makes pharmaceutical richer and everyday Americans, including MAGA voters, seriously poorer. So why does Trump do it? Because all he wants is to destroy anything Biden achieved, no matter how much damage it causes. That what sociopathy looks like.

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

"You voted for the guy because he was anti-immigration. Now he's going to let immigrants take the high-paying jobs but throw the fruit pickers out. His boss told you to go F your own face, then scolded you the next day, saying you should be nicer. What am I missing here?"
