Looking like a dork aside, hurting grandma, the economy, and the military without much thought is definitely peak MAGA.

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

jamelle is correct

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Mitch McConnell voting against Hegseth is like Hannibal Lecter becoming a vegetarian on his deathbed

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose. Both have active death threats from Iran. All to intimidate. This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

He is right.

Trump’s decision to take away Dr. Fauci’s security detail is insane. Fauci is an American hero who’s received multiple death threats, and by god this man deserves to be protected!

An ex-sister-in-law submits sworn statement to senators accusing Hegseth of being so “abusive” toward his second wife that she once hid in a closet from him and had a safe word to call for help if she needed to get away from him. @karoun.bsky.social @Sharon LaFraniere www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...
