Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Absolutely insane. The only reason to do this is to destroy our economy and government.

Today—right now, right here—is the easiest line to draw against Donald Trump. Every day, it will get harder—the politics more inevitable, the destruction more irreversible, the sheer waste more costly, the downstream impacts on American life more catastrophic. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/today-righ...

As former national security assistant AG Mary McCord writes, the Senate needs to bring Bondi and Patel back for questions about pardons and purges for Jan 6 rioters. Unless they vow to reverse these firings, their nominations must be rejected.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

@fetterman.senate.gov After watching the Hegseth hearing today, as an Independent voter and veteran I must conclude Pete Hegseth is not only unqualified to be Secretary of Defense, but it a clear and present danger to our military and our national security. I hope you vote against his nomination.

@speakerjohnson.bsky.social does not have the authority. It is vested in the President by the US Flag act. The speaker is a small man with an outsized idea of his importance.

I was a big fan of Louis Rukeyser and never missed a broadcast of W$W in the 70’s on PBS. I saw @1lizannsonders.bsky.social on CNBC today, and was amazed—she hasn’t aged a bit in ~50 years, or maybe more accurately, she has aged well!
