What's not mentioned in this excerpt is that this was sponsored by Third Way, a think tank that is singlemindedly devoted to convincing Democrats to cut the left out of the party. God knows the DNC has its problems, but it's misleading to frame this as a mainstream Democratic conference.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

People are not their governments. If you are also an American, it is especially vital that you decouple your sense of self from this nation. Dr. Fidel Castro had a powerful perspective on the clear difference between a country’s government & the people living inside it:

I hate to break it to all these CEOs who want everyone to return to the office because they think we aren't working at home, but, uh......we were slacking off at the office too buddy. It's not really a "home" or "office" thing. We just don't really want to work super hard so your stock can go up.

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

Trump and Vance ran a televised scam today. What all America saw was a premeditated hoax to justify cutting off aid to Ukraine. Nothing Zelenskyy did was offensive or disrespectful—but that was the line Trump and Vance had clearly decided to use beforehand to justify what they and Putin wanted.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Basically if anyone ever dares to actually arrest them they are guaranteed a pardon by the President. And since the checks and balances included Congress, the stupid assumption was that Congress would care if their power was stripped and they don't and the final say in the judicial is long gone

New — Sources tell me OPM is preparing mass firing of probationary employees after agencies submitted lists of them last week without context. If supervisors want to keep someone on, they need to write a short justification. Directive was high level. They were told not to put any of this in print.

Trump wants to halt the high-speed rail project that would cut travel time between SF and LA from 9 hours to under 3 hours. From the oval office here just said: "We're going to start a big investigation on that.. it wasn't even necessary, I would have said, you don't buy it. You take an airplane.”

Alcohol is only associated with domestic violence because it lowers inhibitions for men who want to be violent to women. It does not make men want to be violent to women. That’s inexcusable & pathologic, and it’s disturbing to me when people imply that domestic violence is “a disease” like addiction
