This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

‘The US Is Doing Russia’s Work’ Say Ecstatic Propagandists Putin’s mouthpieces are in a lather of excitement over the US administration’s willingness to make a deal to their liking. My latest for @cepa.org: cepa.org/article/the-...

Trump's "negotiations" with his darling Putin continue to be all pre-emptive surrender, with Putin racking up concession after concession and ceding nothing. This must be what Elon meant calling the Russians "competent" - compared to Trump's team, it's pros versus kindergartners.

So how long is it going to take for people to realize that Trump and his coterie are a bunch of totally out of touch old geezers uselessly daydreaming about an imaginary Russian ally that Russia will never, ever, ever be.

This is no time for Ukraine to agree a cease fire. Putin wouldn't respect it and would know Trump wouldn't care if he broke it. NATO has no potency with Trump as US president. Europe won't muster enough troops to defend such a long front. Arming Ukraine for victory is the no-brainer choice.

"He who saves his Country does not violate any Law” Whoever said it, Trump means it; believes it; and we have to assume that he means to act on it, because it is consistent with virtually everything we know about the convicted felon who sits in the White House. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

What could possibly go wrong? It appears that Elon Musk is, in reality, a stupid man, not an intelligent one. Destroying elements of public service that keeps him, his family, and his business facilities safe from potentially catastrophic accidents is stupid.

In our assessment, the Russian offensive that started in October 2023, with pauses in April, June, and August 2024, is culminating. Multiple Ukrainian units are reporting attack intensity has dropped significantly. Russian reports of equipment, fuel, and manpower shortages are becoming widespread.

It appears Musk is forcing the State Department to buy $400m worth of armored Tesla cybertrucks which one would assume would be placed prominently outside American embassies across the world as a marketing and sales effort for his flagging company.

French Defense Minister Lecornu cites Trump's surrender to Putin as rather than "peace through strength", it's "peace through weakness" which will lead to a widening of the conflict.

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

Musk's zeal for shrinking government is a side-show. Trump doesn't want that: he wants to turn the US into a fascist state with a permanent ruling party.

"Ukraine is a country that's at war and USAID plays a huge role in Ukraine also in ways that people probably don't know," said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social. "It has a role in restarting the Ukrainian energy grid, ... it has a role in helping Ukrainian farmers get back to work."

There's likely to be a massive step up in Chinese aggression over the next four years. They know Trump will be indifferent and distracted by his fight to crush democracy and rule of law at home.

Straight-up Nazi behavior. This WSJ journalist exposed that one of Musk's staff, the one who controlled the Treasury payment system, posted online that he is a racist and supports eugenics. The retaliation is to demand she be fired, and effectively to encourage ruling party supporters to hound her.
