I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a former Ukrainian politician and president, Viktor Yanukovych. He’s best known for selling his country to Russia, trying to turn it into an authoritarian state, and eventually fleeing to Moscow once his plan failed. 1/22

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Strong words from Dmytro Kuleba. I'm not sure there is a 'West' after the last 10 days of US bomb-throwing. But it's time for Europeans to realise that Ukraine’s success is our vital national interest too - we cannot leave Putin & Trump to destroy the foundations of post WW2 European security.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Trump is once again trying to play king — this time threatening to revoke home rule and self-determination for 700,000 D.C. residents. This is why #DCStatehood is so vital and why I will never stop fighting for it and for the rights of Maryland’s neighbors in D.C.
