As detailed in Proof of Destruction—see below—the claims that America has sent hundreds of billions to Ukraine and that half of what America sent is missing were laundered by the Kremlin and the FSB through Tucker Carlson, who Canada calls a Kremlin agent. The actual figures: $56 billion and <2%.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

There are zero states with a COVID vaccine mandate for K-12 schools. So, why would Trump want to deny federal funding to schools with a COVID vaccine mandate if it doesn’t actually exist? Because this is a precursor to coming for other vaccine mandates in schools.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

I have just finished reading Danielle Sassoon’s memorandum in its entirety. It is a tour de force. Its correctness is obvious. She’s an American hero. Emil Bove ought to be investigated by his state’s bar association for discipline and possible disbarment, at least.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

One of the bigger predictors of "did not change last name"? Dem affiliation. And gets stronger w increased liberalism (and vice vera on the right). But ~80% of married women in opposite-sex marriages changed last names, so this would be HUGELY disenfranchising--but in a way that leans pro-Dem.

So Ukraine is expected to relinquish its national territory, pledge never to join NATO, and also hand over their rare earth minerals to Trump. Meanwhile, Russia, which invaded Ukraine, receives everything it desires without conceding anything. My God.

I'm 80! When I was a little girl in Hollywood, Russia was our enemy. We had duck and cover drills because they were going to drop a bomb on us. We are where we are (and I was at January 6th) because they don't teach civics anymore and people have NO IDEA OF HOW GOVERNMENT RUNS. Check & Balances
