STAND WITH UKRAINE 🇺🇦 GLOBAL RALLY 🌎 CHICAGO 🇺🇸

I told you about the children whose mother was trapped in the rubble in Kherson. Russia dropped a aviabomb on their house. The woman's body was found. She was 47 years old. Two children were left without a mother. Russia must be held accountable for every life.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

Next year we will be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation, when we declared our independence from a king. “The Royal Brute of Great Britain” Never forget that.

"Approval of Trump's handling of the economy has sagged" www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

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.

It’s hard to overstate how damaging this will be for Americans going forward, especially on an international basis.

Republican senators are traitors to the international order that has kept this country safe for the better part of eighty years. They are traitors to their own constituents. They are traitors to everything that has actually made America great.

In 2022, russians killed the mayor of Motyzhyn village, Olha Sukhenko, her husband and son. Before being kidnapped, she was evacuating village residents, delivering food and medicine. Their bodies were found in a mass grave after the liberation of the Kyiv region. russian occupation is not peace.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

"The senior US Republicans tasked with dismantling Joe Biden’s signature climate policy have enjoyed an investment boom of more than $130bn in the areas they represent thanks to the former president’s law." www.ft.com/content/e627...

Perhaps #Zelensky’s mission isn’t just to defeat #Russia and bring down #Putin—it’s also to save America and take down #Trump. And the process is already underway. Just look at how emotional and irrational Trump has been lately. Wait and see.

🔥 While #Trump spreads pro-Russian lies, #Moscow is literally on fire. The Institute of Precision Mechanics, tied to Russia’s Defense Ministry, burned all night—the roof collapsed 🚀 With #Kursk already exposed, #Russia is the weakest it has ever been. Now is the time to defeat it.

A tiny feast for your eyes. I promised to do it. A photo gallery showcasing the art of Oleksii Shovkunenko, a prominent Ukrainian artist, I told you about in the Sunday Letter, is published. All the art was carefully added in chronological order. Free for everyone: www.patreon.com/posts/oleksi...

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

In between all the other craziness last week, I recorded an episode of Fresh Air with Tonya Mosley about Trump's actions, the scope & limits of legitimate presidential power, & whether this is a "constitutional crisis." It's airing today. @nprfreshair.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/3Zzv...

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Yesterday I did a rewrite on a blog post for an eye care tech company. I pulled the CDC and NIH links in the original, replaced them with research journals and non-profit health orgs. US gov data is no longer the gold standard - or even consistently available. How far we have fallen, and how fast.

"The country is less safe. These are the deployable assets critical for investigating new threats, from anthrax to Zika," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, a former top-ranking CDC official and alumna of the program. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-dis...

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

🔥🇷🇺 Right before #Munich Conference, after warm signals from the White House, #Putin "greeted" #Chornobyl with a drone strike, hitting the sarcophagus & causing a fire. 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, #Trump wants #Russia back in #G7. Nuclear threats continue. #RussiaIsCollapsing #PutinMustFall

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Oh my god, Ukraine dipped the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet into the world of shit with $270,000 naval drones and sank its fucking flagship with two obsolete missiles -- and the largest naval power of all time that has 11 carrier strike groups says it's not prepared to face Russia at sea?
