Since weโre just blithely blundering into another war in the Middle East, I never want to hear a single syllable from any of the people supporting this administration decrying aid to Ukraine, a country where civilians are being slaughtered every day, ever again.
Ukraine couldโve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily.
Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians.
A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

The State Dept's new Substack Manifesto on โWestern Civilizational Heritageโ is also code for white supremacy. It's a warning showing how far-right thinking is now normalized in American politics and is now part of government policies. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/the-sta...

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Muskโs foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Russia never launched a drone attack of this magnitude when Biden was president.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Facebook account Trump shared with South Africa's president as "proof" of a genocide against white South Africans belonged to a fringe account that frequently posts racist imagery and pushes flat Earth conspiracies.
As hurricane season looms, the effects of DOGE cuts on the U.S. alert system are a new menace, writes @juliettekayyem.bsky.social. โA nation best prepares for a crisis not by ignoring it and hoping it never happens, but by anticipating it and planning for it.โ
It wasnโt Qatar that initially offered the airplane. Trumpโs people approached them first.
It sounds very much like asking for a bribe.

Breaking news: A federal judge ruled the Trump administration exceeded its authority when it dismantled the U.S. Institute of Peace, an independent nonprofit created by Congress.
JUST IN: Judge Howell rules that the Trump/DOGE takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace was illegal and should be treated as null and void.

Wow. Bukeleโs approval rating has dropped to 55%, with people specifically citing the CECOT deal with the United States as a reason for disapproval.
This is why Iโve said that Bukele is playing with fire with this. Itโs hurting him internationally and now domestically as well.
President Trumpโs announcement in a speech in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday that he would lift U.S. sanctions on Syria unleashed hope across the country that life would improve after more than a decade of war and deprivation.
"Mexicoโs security chief confirmed Tuesday that 17 family members of cartel leaders crossed into the U.S. last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration."

Joe Nye was a formidable person, a thinker with moral clarity and enormous drive, continuing to publish until the end. In one of our recent conversations he emphasized how his marriage and family were the accomplishment he cherished most. My thoughts are with his loved ones โ๏ธ on.ft.com/42PDAbq

A video claiming USAID paid celebrities to visit Ukraine went viral earlier this year, reaching over 4.2M+ view.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the Presidentโs misunderstanding.
Lots going on with the Solomon Islands government this week...
"Parliament adjourned this morning due to a lack of a quorum after only sixteen out of 49 MPs attended.
"A source within government says several cabinet ministers have deserted the Prime Minister and are in talks with the Opposition."
No matter who he sits with, whose back he pats, even what tweets he sends outโฆthe basic support of Putin endures. The reaction to the St Peterโs picture was foolish.
We really need to move beyond focussing on optics in understanding Trumpโs positions on the war. That sit down with Zelensky in St Peterโs was almost certainly meaningless. Trump has been ruthlessly consistent in one thingโpushing Russiaโs interests.
Steve Witkoff has crafted a peace plan after traveling to Moscow for three lengthy meetings with Putinโbut never once going to Kyiv to meet with Zelensky. The one-sided plan, which rewards Russian aggression, is now being presented to the Ukrainians on a โtake it or leave itโ basis. bit.ly/3YhkKqZ

In terms of decline as a global power the United States have not yet passed a point of return. The strategic vandalism inflicted by Trump's delusional fanatics and grasping kleptocrats can still be fixed.
But if this goes on for another 6-8 months then America is heading for a lasting fall.
