We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

I, for one, am shocked that the racist, narcissistic, serial sex pest, ketamine addict who lies about his intelligence, business history, family history, gaming ability, and principles turned out to be a terrible father.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

Glad to see Trump’s imperial threat against a majority indigenous population given its proper platform. This is not about Denmark. It’s about the Inuit who constitute more than 85% of the population of Greenland.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

DOOCY: Who does Trump think is more responsible for Ukraine? Putin or Zelenskyy? WALTZ: Well look, his goal Peter is to bring this war to an end. Period.

Trump posts a tediously long comment about Ukraine that blames Zelenskyy, America, and President Biden, for the war that Russia started by invading their peaceful neighbor. Yet Trump never says a single word criticizing the monstrous Putin who Trump idolizes & seeks to emulate.

The already minuscule Russian advances in Donbas have further slowed down. In the last 3 weeks Russians took not more than 23 square kilometers, or in other words, around 1 square kilometer per day.

Osechkin's source: FSB and SVR are currently working on organizing a coup against President Zelensky in Kyiv. It will involve Ukrainian officials who'd agree to capitulate to Russia in exchange for high power positions in the hypothetical puppet government of Ukraine.

Governor Hochul leaving Adams as mayor is all the more disappointing b/c for a brief moment it she seemed to be setting up conditions to do right thing. Only to again support corruption, white supremacist fascism, and continued authoritarian weaponization of Law. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Hochul is set to announce that she will not invoke her authority to force Adams out at this time, according to sources familiar with the governor’s decision. Instead, she'll unveil new bills that will increase oversight of the mayor’s office (via @gothamist.com).
