🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited. It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Frank's right. We're getting ripped off. Germany has become the dumping ground of everybody's problems. And contrary to what the liberal fake news media are saying, Frank's fingers are normal sized.☝🏼

Das einzig Tröstende: Mit jedem Schritt Richtung Autoritarismus machen sich CDU und CSU selbst überflüssig. Sie werden verschwindend klein werden. Das Problem: Die AfD wird stärkste Kraft werden und wird regieren. Es wird dann keine Alternativen mehr geben.

Ich muss es so hart sagen: ich dachte, ich lese eine kleine Anfrage der AfD, aber sie stammt von der Union. 551 (!) Fragen zu Organisationen, Hintergrund seien „Proteste gegen die CDU“, darunter die „Omas gegen Rechts“ und andere. Bin ehrlich entsetzt. dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/150/2...

Trump is trying to spin German election into what he wanted. It's not. Trump, Vance and Musk wanted the Far right AfD party to win. They didn't. The new incoming German Chancellor just last week slammed Vance for praising the Afd party. The US is even more isolated. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Noch fataler als die Inkaufnahme von AfD-Stimmen im Bundestag finde ich den Umgang der CDU mit den Protesten dagegen. Es stünde der Partei schon gut an, die Sorge von Menschen vor einer Wiederholung der deutschen Geschichte ernst zu nehmen. Das ist eigentlich das Mindeste, was man erwarten kann.
