Scary footage from Odesa. A Russian Shahed drone exploded near a car, close to a gas station that was also targeted. Russians continue their nightly attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure, resulting in fires at an industrial building and gas station.

Last night Trump made damaging admissions in our Appointments Clause case vs Musk & DOGE He directly contradicted DOJ’s representations that Musk was not in charge of DOGE We just filed with the court to take judicial notice— more proof that Musk’s appointment is violating the Constitution!

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

For Canadians. Australia is an island. That island is smaller than Canada. They have a population less than 3/4 that of Canada. They do NOT share a land border with the United States. Their per capita GDP is 20% higher than Canada's. Let's study this strange culture and immitate.

Not entirely sure the Bezos editorial dictat can be cast merely as further genuflecting to Trump. At least not on free trade, if this is any indication. This "opinion" piece (with quiz!) completely contradicts all White House talking points and rationale for tariffs against Canada and Mexico.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responds, something we hopefully see a lot more of that from other European leaders. It's never been clearer than in this moment that Trump is Putin's ally, not Europe's.

Get it together, Europe. Hoping my country, Canada, will continue to support Ukraine and show unity and solidarity with the remaining democracies. Come on, Japan. Come on, South Korea. Come on Oceania.

That was one of the ugliest things I have ever seen in my life. You've got to hand it to Trump and Vance; when you think they couldn't possibly debase themselves and their country any further, they always prove you wrong.

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers. The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough. And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Russia doesn’t have the resources to fight indefinitely against Ukraine’s organization and determination, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. The only way for Putin to defeat Ukraine is to convince Ukraine’s allies to be sick of the war. theatln.tc/KQky8p2f

Three years ago. The lives of millions of Ukrainians changed when Russia began its massive full-scale invasion. Many lives, friends, family and loved ones... ordinary Ukrainians, were lost. Ukraine still stands Never, ever forget who the aggressor is. Let's keep the support for Ukraine strong(er).

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Remaining advanced western democracies need a new security pact (and trade deal) that includes Ukraine. Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile... Let's preserve what we have left. It's still a lot.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.
