True

www.publicnotice.co/p/rick-wilso... And, as yesterday’s cabinet meeting demonstrated, Rubio is playing a leading role in ripping apart whatever is left of our democracy by attacking judges and justifying Trump’s efforts to defy court orders.

A really good SNL skit on that Cabinet meeting today would be epic.

DSNS.GOV.UA 🇺🇦 Russia has struck a large-scale blow to Odesa. High-rise buildings, a school, a supermarket, cars were damaged. 2 people died, 15 more were injured. Fires broke out, more than 200 residents were evacuated. The State Emergency Service has deployed a point of invincibility

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

“Wait guys, P. Hegseth is typing…”

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

My Substack newsletter Backbencher (to which you should subscribe; it's free!) has updated its Trump Seig Heil Tracker™. We log six Nazi salutes by Trump officials or prominent supporters since 1-20-25. timothynoah.substack.com/p/introducin...

Re-upping: Jude Law stars in a new movie, “The Order,” that I hadn’t heard of until I checked my local theater listings. It’s very good! Like best-picture-nominee good. Very gratifying to see him fuck up nazis. Based on true story. Worth seeing on the big screen. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pPZa...

As we detailed in our report, the evidence was clear that the Russian government engaged in multiple, systematic attacks designed to undermine our democracy and favor one candidate over the other. We were not prepared then... From:

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Have you read the Ukraine-US Minerals agreement? It is an agreement establishing terms and conditions for a Reconstruction Investment Fund. Here: eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles... Today's story sounds more like a PR campaign for trump. Just my opinion. It seems things are bad for him at home.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Well let me see. It is hard to swallow all this sanction stuff when companies like French road builders, oil companies like Total and Shell and others continue operations inside Russia. India gets discount oil from Russia and then makes products to sell to the Brits. Etc. Corporate morality?

Could someone please remind the moron that the Ukraine war began in 2014 and continued through his first term please. Can we just try at least some facts

Well let see. Did I just witness 2 playground bullies trying to beat up the little kid leaving him bleeding on the ground and the other emptying the little kids pockets while he gives him a few kicks? Is this American diplomacy now? Must be great for WWF fans for sure

Well I just have to ask. Where is BiBi and his Israel repayment plan to pay back $trillions of USA taxpayers money? He coming next to see the little boy and the hillbilly?
