(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

"Perhaps after Iraq attempted to erase Kuwait from the map in 1990, America and the United Nations should have told the states of the Persian Gulf that sometimes countries just disappear," and both sides needed to put their guns down. @radiofreetom.bsky.social on Trump as "Moscow's proxy." Brutal.

The bill still faces hurdles in the Assembly, where Speaker Vos said his position has been clear. “I've never supported an expansion of welfare. I can't imagine that I would ever support one, but we have to talk about it as a caucus.” www.wispolitics.com/2025/senate-...

Quick story on today's ruling. Will be updated. A split state Supreme Court today upheld Dem Gov. Tony Evers’ veto in the 2023-25 budget that wrote into state law for the next four centuries annual increases in how much schools can spend per student. www.wispolitics.com/2025/supreme...

Well it’s true that we shredded our alliance with the entirety of Europe, our historically successful trading relationships, our role as leader of the G7, but at least we built strong ties with El Salvador, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, so it could imprison our people

Stephen A. Smith on Trump seeking 3rd term: "If any Republican supports that I don't want to hear a word out of their mouth ever again about following the Constitution. That's what they've been living off for years. Then you're talking about circumventing the 22nd Amendment & you think that's cool?"

The actual closest analogue for the present situation in the US is the Roman emperor Valens destroying the Danube frontier because he knew nothing about barbarians, mismanaging a refugee crisis, and then getting killed on a battlefield

Here’s the best way to understand what’s happening. Trump genuinely wants to impose a 19th century mercantilist model that would crash the economy and destroy the global trading order but the idea is just so colossally stupid and destructive, he can’t actually do it. So we get this.

Good morning, Wisconsin. At least 2.337 million of you voted yesterday. Nearly half our voting age population. For perspective, it tops the 2.1 million who voted in April '16 with contested Dem, GOP prez primaries on ballot. AND the 2.2 million voted in the Nov. '10 guv race.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

100 percent, which leads us to the question of why the visual doesn’t trigger that kind of self-reflection. A couple of possibilities: 1) She, and the audience this is for, has so dehumanized the people behind her that she can’t see it; 2) She, and her audience, don’t think the Nazis were wrong.

no offense to Jeff but if you are alleging the head editor of the Atlantic was cunning enough to circumvent all your security safeguards that kinda makes you sound even worse

Trump officials creating a massive security breach is bad enough. That those involved had often criticized Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information makes it worse, @dgraham.bsky.social writes.

Schimel’s expressed paranoia about late night returns of absentee ballots in Milwaukee County is part of the Republican strategy to cast doubt on election outcomes to stir up voter anger in the party base to maximize turnout. open.substack.com/pub/jameswig...
