Hi Neylan, thank you. I’m mostly on Twitter, maalesef, because it’s where the Turkey action is.

Well, thank you so much, Will !

Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak emphasized that during the dispute with US President Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was right and did not make a single mistake.

Trump's Lifeline to Putin: Cutting Ukraine's Aid Amid Russia's Collapse Marco Rubio, Michael Waltz, and their ilk will spend the rest of their lives avoiding Ukrainians for fear of being spit on

Russia’s ‘3-day war’ is now 3 YEARS old—and they’re getting wrecked. 800,000 casualties, no tanks, no fleet… and now Trump is cutting Ukraine’s aid to throw Putin a lifeline. Sad! Read how Ukraine is WINNING despite the betrayals

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.

Zelenskyy Meets With Russian Agent “It was important to communicate with someone who speaks for Putin," the Ukrainian said.

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

New to me, Polly.

Thanks ! Nice to see you here.

Hegseth standing next to a screen with a map of Ukraine and the chyron says, “Breaking News Tracking Russia’s invasion of Ukraine” Fox News.

Hegseth now says he doesn’t know who started the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Senator Duckworth shows receipts that he does know but won’t admit it now.

Is this the finding out part?

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

Who Is the Anonymous Data Expert Telling Elon Which Cuts to Make? Conservatives cite her account to spread misinformation about federal agencies. DataRepublican has worked at a tech firm that’s battled the CFPB.

SCOOP: Elon's favorite anon data expert, who's been appearing on NewsNation in sunglasses, isn't a govt. spending expert but rather a senior employee at an AI lending firm that's battled the CFPB for years.

Sheer vandalism.

Same, but in reverse.

Trump Takes Aim at Law Firm Aiding Jack Smith The move, signed by President Trump on Thursday, is a major escalation of his promise to pursue perceived foes.

This would really be the moment for some BigLaw gestures of solidarity with Covington & Burling, no? If a vengeful president can strip security clearances from any lawyer he sees as assisting the opposition, can any national security lawyers afford to remain outside his orbit?

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

A seven-byline story from WaPo:

“.. Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits ..”

He is 100% clueless about ‘algorithms’ crawling through data.

Yes. And what is the asset of an asset ?

Forget obsequious. It’s the clueless I worry about.

Well, that's not surprising. This fallout will continue to bottom out.

There is no version of what is happening now in Europe that makes America stronger, safer, more respected in the world.

Trump is now and always been Russia First.

His quislings like Hegseth and Rubio are traitors, and will be known in history that way.

Why Trump is detaining migrants out of sight and out of mind in Guantánamo Bay President Donald Trump has made no secret of his disdain for immigrants, particularly the non-white variety from south of our border. His statements that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of our co...

If you haven't been to Auschwitz, go

Bergen-Belsen or Buchenwald, go

Go to the Japanese internment camp Manzanar

There's only one reason, one single reason Trump is rounding up people & locking them away out of view

And our country just sitting here, knowing it
