Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections β from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
Shocking, but not surprising.
Shocking, though not surprising.
A big step for Trump to admit he is mortal.
2.14: The Zone of Death (Part 1)
Russian civilian economy has officially entered what high-altitude mountaineers call the βZone of Deathββthat critical altitude where the body stops regenerating and begins consuming its own muscle tissue just to survive.

Fascists are always the victim.
It's the core of their ideology.
"we have strongly told the Russians to stop doing what Donald says doesn't matter"
This will work. Just as Obama's 'concern' worked.
Sounds like China had had a firm word with Iran to stop shooting at the other gas stations.
Always entertaining to watch the strength of Autocratic alliances under fire.
Not that so very many western nations have earned the right to throw shade.
Hungarian opposition leader Magyar accuses Orban of bringing in Russian military intel to rig the upcoming election. GRU operatives arrived weeks ago, same playbook as Moldova, he says. Magyar demands they be expelled and urges Hungarians to vote on April 12.
Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
Ok that's big.
A good chance for Lebanese to take their country back.

60% collected, 40% to go. Big milestone. I hope we can reach 70 percent by next Thursday.
The window for the US to regain Ukraine as a long term ally is fast closing. I see almost no chance of this happening under Trump or JD.
Obviously.
Should have insisted on the condition that Ukraine would do it if JD showed up in Kharkiv in person to deliver a full deck of cards where Trump has hand written Thank You on every card.
Ukraine has torched the main russian black sea oil terminal, hit one of the warships there and are just generally going ham right now.
Feels like they are capitalizing while Trump is distracted, which tells us how much Trump has been trying to restrain Ukraine from wrecking Putin's prize assets.

Oh I don't disagree. It's just weird to see.
Trump just loves a power rush.
The boy needs his fix!
Russian invaders killed an American, OSCE medic Joseph Stone, on 23 April 2017 in temporarily-occupied Luhansk region, Ukraine. Trump was in power and did nothing about it.
Trump also knew Russia paid the Taliban a bounty for killing Americans. He did nothing about that either.
Ya I never realized that. Makes sense that Iran borrowed it from somewhere as well, I suppose.
In Feb, Ukraine liberated 400 square km vs 126 square km that russians captured.
That puts Ukraine significantly positive in 2026 (and also positive over the last 3.5 years). π
Oh interesting.
I doubt the US was looking at them before Iranian Shaheeds got so big in the news, though. It'll be interesting to see what upgrades the US has made Ober the Iranian/Russian versions.
That's a lot of ballistic missiles.
It's only 1 large night attack worth of drones, by Ukrainian standards.
A bit weird, when the US is slinging their rip-off Iranian designs back at Iran.
Just tap your Kompromat briefcase thoughtfully until the problem falls in line again.
This is Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, where Russia continues to drop bombs on the area, systematically devastating and destroying entire neighborhoods.
And they are just SO predictable.
Their regimes survive ONLY because they are not a big enough threat to make people wake up and get serious, like the USSR did.
