I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

TASS is an acronym for Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (Телеграфное агентство Советского Союза). During the Soviet era, it was operated by the KGB. It is run by the FSB. A Russian spy managed to get into the Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President Zelensky.

Un-f***ing-hinged. A disgusting, disgraceful display of Trump’s tiny ego derailing longstanding American & European security interests. If it wasn't clear before, it’s crystal now: Trump’s personal and political grievances control our national security.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

I am glad journalists are alarmed by Trump admin taking away access for so many of their beats. And we should be alarmed while also recognizing that it has been bad for America and accountability that DC journalists have relied on access to do their jobs.

Note, earlier today I pointed out that Judge Ho has a pretty good sense of what the obstruction charge SDNY WANTED to charge Mayor Adams with. It could be charged through 2029, so would hang over Adams' head for almost entirety of presumed Trump term. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/21/j...
