There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, WWII veteran Melvin Hurwitz—just 19 when he stormed the beaches—met Zelenskyy in Normandy and told him, “You are the savior of the people.” The sacrifice, 80 years diplomacy, and freedom. It cannot have been for nothing. We must stay on the right side of history. 🇺🇦

It's incredible and yet somehow predictable how many Republicans have gone from "patriot" to "comrade" in the blink of an eye.

Because he wasn't random. This disgusting ambush by 2 Russian puppets in the Oval Office on a true hero is a debasement of our country. And Putin is the intended audience.

The guy who essentially just won the next chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, has been doing a press tour for the past week or so talking about how America under Trump can’t be trusted and promising to investigate Musk for meddling in the German election.

Remember when Obama was running for his first term? One of the initial hysterical attacks from the right was "He wants to be a King!!" They always project.

I'm genuinely curious about how long and to what degree they can debase this country before his voters stop cheering.

So Blago is pardoned. Interesting. I guess this proves that deep down, he's not really partisan after all. He loves you regardless of party, just as long as you're a corrupt criminal who abuses public trust. ❤️

I mean, it wasn't Day 1, but I'm pretty sure they still have time to work their magic in 2026. There's a reason why the gold standard is a hand count, but we don't have the will or the patience. So here we are. #electioninterference

The fact that they are ignorant may not be their fault. This was the goal when civics was removed from the classroom. But the fact that they work to stay that way is *very much* their fault.
