Ukraine wants this war on its people to end. Trump doesn’t want to be bothered with it. It’s Russia that’s the problem, as always. @andrewchak.bsky.social lays out the three ways this can end. Only Russia’s defeat makes the world more secure. > #StandWithUkraine nypost.com/2025/05/30/o...

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

Trump is chickening out and trying to blame Elon for anything bad that happened to his supporters because he’s seen all the leopards eating faces posts. But it’s his fault. He wants credit for all the good things his predecessor did and none of the blame for the things HE has done.

WELKER: In 2021, you cited the CBO. So do you only believe the CBO when a Democrat is president? MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is very easy to explain. The CBO sometimes gets projections correct...but they always underestimate the growth that will be brought about by tax cuts and reductions in regulations

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

So let me see if I understand this correctly. People are getting abducted when they show up to do the right thing for their immigration status, and they’re getting abducted when they don’t do the right thing for the immigration status. Do I have this right?? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/31/n...

Meanwhile in Russia: experts unanimously agreed that Donald Trump won't be happy when he sees the Kremlin's memorandum, because Moscow is not planning to offer any concessions and is only ratcheting up its demands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRV2...

Vought wants to dismantle our gov and rebuild it into a dictatorship. His weapon is a fringe legal theory called the “unitary executive.” It claims the president should control the entire executive branch, with 🚫✅s from Congress, no independence for the courts, and no oversight from watchdogs. ❌👑.
