If you think the lawyer who advised on some of the nation’s most sensitive special operations (including, based on publicly avail info, the cross-border raid to kill UBL) is a “roadblock,” one has to wonder what road you plan to go down.

So the new official line is: We, the US provoked Putin to invade Ukraine (which started it to begin with) and because we did, we are now entitled to 500bn of Ukraine's rare earth minerals. Am I getting this right?

Morning from Kyiv! I want to start this Saturday with a song ‘’How cannot I love you, Kyiv of mine?’ A familiar to you gentleman plays it. The video is from the last Sunday, but it suits my mood perfectly.

I'm told TikTok's host (Oracle) and CDN (Akamai) brought it back online today because Trump assured them they'd not be subject to penalties - something he can't entirely promise. Whatever one's feelings on the ban's merit, they're defying federal law based on a not-yet-president's word. Huge gamble
