Iryna "Cheka" Tsibukh, a combat medic. Now decorated with the Hero of Ukraine title. Posthumously...

A pro-Kremlin blogger Patrick Lancaster was eager to film a story about "Ukrainian atrocities" in Sudzha in Russia's Kursk region. However, locals told him that the Ukrainian military did not treat them badly, did not hurt them, but on the contrary always greeted them& brought them bread and water

It gets better. Not only did these incompetent, clueless idiots do an obviously reckless, illegal thing using Signal to talk about highly secret stuff, but the DOD had WARNED everyone in a Department-wide email a week before not to . . . .

Liver, Let Die International man of mystery Pete Hegseth doesn’t care if his drinks are shaken or stirred, but he must’ve had Stoli galore when he group-texted a view to a kill that was supposed to be for his eyes only. by Maureen Dowd

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Don’t drink and text.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

A little personal news. I have a book coming in October. It’s a blend of law, history & common sense—it’s about how to keep the Republic joycevance.substack.com/p/a-little-p...

"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:

Ukraine's Defense Forces have destroyed the Russian Tor surface-to-air missile system, designed for air and missile defense at the division level. Exclusive video and photo evidence showcase the successful operation.

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

The GOP screams about grooming and trafficking when it serves their political agenda, but they rally around Andrew Tate. The hypocrisy is staggering. They attack marginalized communities under the pretense of protecting women while actively defending those who exploit them. #AreWeGreatYet

RFKjr: As far as measles go we've been seeing great results from drinking your own urine while holding a gem that corresponds to your birth month and then walking widdershins around a red oak with a cockerel buried at its base

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Has anyone else noticed that Tulsi Gabbard repeatedly criticizes Zelensky but not Putin? Gee, I wonder why that is…

“This is treason adjacent. I’m sure Pete Hegseth is very busy firing black people and women, so he’s not focused on the actual target here, which is Vladimir Putin.” @therickwilson.bsky.social on the U.S. halting offensive cyber operations against Russia.

"Has Putin set the stage for a potential third world war because of his unhinged belief that Ukraine isn’t even a country? Sure. But this is just healthy, red-blooded male behavior, and as liberals wage their deadly war against masculinity, we must support this man."

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?

There is no explicit Constitutional prohibition against human trafficking, so it's hard for me to see why liberals dislike the Tate brothers so much. by Jonathan Turley

The real problem with Star Wars is how corporatized it’s become. The original had this weird, scrappy sort of indie feeling. Big ideas, big nostalgia for Flash Gordon, big love for Kurosawa. Now they literally have story archetypes like “Scoundrel.” It’s a “Scoundrel story.” It’s so bland.

Listen up you absolute fucking legends of stupidity, you glorious, star-spangled dipshits, you majestically brain-dead champions of mediocrity, you beige wallpaper of humanity… measles outbreaks do not HAPPEN ALL THE TIME in our country. Stop acting like this shit is normal. It’s not.

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
