The conservative organization America First Legal (AFL) accused NASCAR of “ongoing, deliberate, and illegal discrimination against white, male Americans.” Curious because of the 42 drivers on the entry list for the 2024 Daytona 500, for example, only one was Black, and zero were women.

The impact of drones, manufactured in Ukraine, largely accounts for the shocking losses that Russia has taken over the past year. Western sources reckon that Russia lost 400,000 troops killed or wounded and gained just 0.5 per cent of Ukrainian land in return. www.ft.com/content/2e90...

I think the Trump Admin will have the Congress pass across-the-board tariffs. Then Trump will negotiate bilaterally on top by sector or country. It is a big risk to consumers (as well as just bad policy). Video on @cnbc.com with KellyEvans @steveliesman.bsky.social youtu.be/alF8y3xI4zE?...

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.

Trump’s overnight comments on the US fearing Putin less and being more afraid of becoming like Europe underline @nixonsimon.bsky.social ‘s point. I don’t think it’s wrong to try to get Trump back on the same page as Europeans (incl Ukraine), but Eur support for UA cannot be made dependent on Trump.

This is it. The plausible scenario is not that the 2028 elections don’t happen. It’s that they happen with every financial oligarch and major corporation backing the GOP. And every major media organization backing the GOP, except for The NY Times which is trying to be neutral.

Trump is unambiguously embracing Putin under the guise of peace. Because everyone is for peace. DOGE is a power grab under the guise of eliminating government waste. Because everyone is against government waste. Don't fall for this basic con.
