Poor, little rich Lockmart. Nobody wants to buy your planes anymore. I guess you’ll just have to double the prices when you sell the next batch to Trump’s Pentagon.

Whether it’s Donald Trump attack attacking Haitian refugees working blue-collar jobs in industrial Ohio cities or Tim Walz criticizing a South African billionaire working to install a fascist autocracy in Washington DC, members of both parties have adopted an anti-immigrant stance.

As a moralistic pundit, I will insist that my marriage to a woman 23 years my junior is a true love match, a union of two souls. But in my hip-hope heart, I'm like my style different from yours, make young bitch wanna drop their drawers. by David Brooks

Violating the law and the Constitution, Trump purports to have closed Radio Free/Radio Liberty, a medium which is the source of much of what we known about Russia and the post-communist world. Stanislav Aseyev was arrested in Russian-occupied Ukraine and tortured for his reporting for Radio Liberty.

I think the academic community can help US academics, as well as academia in general, by providing safe haven for datasets that are being targeted by the Trump administration.

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I saw what kind of tax break the Republicans would give me if my salary ever jumps from $74,000 to $14 million.

Really key stuff here. DOGE flipped the Institute's security contractors - Inter-Con - against them by threatening to cancel all their security contracts across the federal government. This is where DOGE's money meets up with guns and the lawyers are kicked to the side.

I think what is unique to the F-35 and not often discussed is the fact that the F-35 is a double-edged sword. In order to spread out costs and for other reasons (competitive in nature), the F-35 is the first truly global fighter aircraft ever made. Its support & manufacturing spans the entire globe.

i’ve always thought the most likely reason the “conspiracy” was never solved is because once officials started looking into the files they found a rat’s nest of ugly and illegal shit that both parties had done and realized that trying to rationalize the chaos would make everyone look bad

Trying to unpack he documents so far published, I think the picture is a bit more complex. On first read, I could identify a three tier approach to defence in the proposed package + relations to the UK: First tier is (obviously) EU member states, who are the only ones who can take loans from SAFE.

There are a lot of reasons for why we are where we are at in the USA in the moment, but the institutional failure of the major media outlets is a big one. If you cannot report the truth that Elon Musk threw a Nazi Salute twice at inauguration party, and the Nazis applauded it, you have failed.

I took this photo during a protest on 11th March. Today I got fined for that and for covering protest on 15th of March as well, GEL10,000 in total - for "artificially blocking the road". Freedom of speech and assembly is counting last moments in this country :) More: oc-media.org/oc-media-co-...
