This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Boarding my @alaskaairlines.bsky.social morning flight to high octane, heading banging music on the PA system. The exact OPPOSITE of what travelers need these days with planes falling out of the sky daily. 😖

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

🚨An open letter to the Democrats. 🚨 Get off your fucking letter writing asses and do something, anything that is not the norm. Every fucking one of you is still acting like the kid in HS that spent his time with model Gov or junior UN haveing debates full of platitudes and quips to win your point.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

To my point in the #ChronicleofPhilanthropy, good piece in the @NewYorkTimes. We’re going to be in for a world of hurt the next several years. We’re will need donors of all stripes and interests to uphold civil society. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/b...
