None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

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.

🚨Holy shit. Trump has just launched a scathing attack on Zelenskyy. He’s actually called him a dictator. There can be no doubt: the President of the United States is now a Kremlin asset.

Dear World, I apologize. We have a Russian asset in the White House. Trump stands with Putin. He doesn’t stand with Ukraine, NATO or the free world. Many, many, many of us Americans apologize profusely for this. Sincerely, A Ukraine-Supporting, NATO-Supporting American

1 is very important. Pointing out contradictions or hypocrisy doesn't mean anything when your actions aren't based on principles. They think people are fools if they don't change their stance for a better deal.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

On January 6th, 1995, my (now ex) wife and I boarded a flight from Heathrow to JFK on a one way ticket. We had two suitcases and about $900 in cash - this was everything we owned and we were moving to the US. We thought it was maybe for 2-3 years. I had visited the US once, for a conference, and

The United States ought to back Ukraine because it is the right thing to do, morally, and, above all, because it is in the hard U.S. interest to do so. To shake down a country that is struggling for its very existence is, to my sense, repulsive.

Gabbard getting confirmed, Kennedy being on his way to confirmation despite doubling down on vaccine quackery, and Hegseth selling out Ukraine and torpedoing NATO mean that "Trump appoints himself chairman of the Kennedy Center" isn't among the three worst Trump appointee stories of the day.

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.

“No bureaucracy!” I scream to my massed barbarian horde, “Just sharp minds, strong bodies, and a mission-first mindset!” I lustily shout, rallying them to me just prior to us all being annihilated by a small force of bored but mysteriously well-supplied and well-organized Roman legionaries.

not trying to pick on this guy. this just reminded me that the federal government does not provide coffee to workers. to drink coffee at a federal office you generally have to pay into a "coffee club" that is managed by a staffer who volunteers to collect money and purchase a monthly coffee supply.
