Two headlines. Same newspaper. Just days apart.
According to the *Financial Times*, the Kremlin has backed covert efforts to keep Viktor Orbán in power. Around the same time, voices in Washington described Orbán’s leadership as “essential” for US interests. Different capitals. Same conclusion. 1/2
The Maduro Regime is still in power in Venezuela. The IRGC regime is still in power in Iran. The Epstein regime is still in power in D.C.
“…real failure is that the richest & most powerful nation in world — nation that has led the world since WW II & established the postwar international order emphasizing multilateralism, democracy, human rights, & rule of law — is now being led by a rogue president who rejects all these values.”

Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal key details during the early handling of the Epstein investigation.
The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/

While Trump is focused on his new war in Iran, Russia is reaping all the rewards.
Sky high oil prices and a waiver on sanctions are exactly what Putin needed to keep fighting in Ukraine.
Moscow could not have planned a better distraction
Our new searchable database is the most comprehensive public source of financial disclosures across the executive branch.
Here's what we've found using the data so far:
A masterclass by @davidjbier.bsky.social on how to maintain your composure and principles in the face of people unable to do either.
We don't need to yell or mock because the facts, the law, and common decency are on our side, as David made apparent before someone unfit to hold the seat he's in.
Under the stewardship of an alcoholic TV host, this is how the Department of Defense is spending our tax dollars:
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
“We’re not starting a war, we’re ending one” was a Russian talking point on Ukraine — four years ago.
Guy also watches Fox News.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
It really sucks that the president of the United States is not a reliable source on U.S. foreign policy.
Maybe his words relate to actual policy and maybe they don’t. At many moments, even he doesn’t seem to know.
Throws off so much, and makes large scale coordination virtually impossible.
It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
Weather was mild, river was calm, Mallards were friendly.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Sometimes the Lord will use an imperfect vessel to carry out his will, a bloated, stinky, stupid vessel. Ye must have faith.
