Kash Patel is Director of the FBI. Here's what's coming... Patel will use the FBI to investigate (possibly prosecute) perceived political opponents of Donald Trump, including former Biden Administration officials, current Democratic lawmakers and anyone that criticizes the Trump Administration.

The front in the war on democracy Why would Putin & Trump want Zelenskyy to hold an election? Because they think they can fix it. Conjecture: when Trump says he wants Canada to be the 51st state, does he mean he'll invade? No, he means he'll attack the elections and install a puppet, Putin-style.

Trump/Russia pays off for Putin again as Trump says Ukraine “started it,” spouting Moscow’s biggest lie. Trump/Russia was never a “hoax”; it is and always was real.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

"There is overwhelming consensus on Capitol Hill that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal, NATO is critical to European and global security, and the United States has led the common defense." They all knew Trump was running against that.

Democracy under threat. How a group of American tech oligarchs, backed by Trump, want to undermine European Institutions because they don’t want to be regulated. Excellent piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

So the deal with Russia is kind of like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, except instead of dividing Poland, one side says, "let us have Ukraine and we'll totally share the rare earth minerals with you. Oh and you can remove your troops from the Baltics because we totally don't need more Lebensraum"...?

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

Withdrawing US troops from the Baltics. This was 2017 and was described as one of the "wilder" ideas on the table. Seems reasonable to assume it's on the table now. www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-...

Peskov stated that Putin is ready for negotiations and claimed that security in Europe is impossible without a comprehensive discussion of security issues on the continent—clearly blackmailing Europe. Terrorists always demand more when given concessions, and Russia is a perfect example of this.

Yes, this. The right's appropriation of the word "woke" to dismantle the achievements of the civil rights movement and the feminist movement has been an extraordinary success. There was never strong empirical evidence for most of the "woke excesses" being widespread. Marginal phenomena at most.

Flashback to January 2017 when Dmitriev, Erik Prince, and MBZ met in the Seychelles and arranged a phone call between Trump and Putin because they were making a deal over Ukraine. Reread the Mueller report - all those transition contacts were about selling out Ukraine.
