Trump screwed up, and he knows it. Hegseth, Netanyahu and-probably-Stephen Miller told him America could defeat Iran without much problem. Now that he knows he can’t, he’s begging, pleading and threatening other countries to fix his mess

All the while, the price of oil keeps going up and up

Frontline report: Ukraine gutted Russia’s spring offensive staging ground—400 sq km gone in weeks Russia planned to launch its spring offensive from Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Ukraine got there first—and Starlink's collapse helped.

That plan is now in ruins — and SpaceX's Starlink block in Feb which degraded Russian command-and-control, helped accelerate the collapse.

Russia still holds a 3:1 troop advantage. But instead of launching its spring push, it's plugging holes &reacting to a Ukrainian initiative it didn't see coming

Ukraine's airborne forces drove 10-12 km deep into Russian lines on two axes, recapturing 400 km2. It's the first net territorial gain since the 2024 Kursk operation

Russia's goal was a buffer zone in Dnipropetrovsk Obl 2 launch its spring offensive. "That was their plan," said Maj. Gen. Komarenko

USAID: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

Here’s last night’s story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. It’s more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

If upended means "Screwed up" then I agree. Wapo had mass migration of talent at every level since he bought it.

PETE: “It’s amateur hour at the Pentagon & White House, and the price is being paid by all of us. This is not a video game. If Trump is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of 🇺🇸’s war dead he’s unfit to be commander-in-chief.”

Republicans blamed Hillary for 4 dead in Benghazi. They blamed Biden for 13 dead in Afghanistan.

Trump’s war has already left 13 U.S. troops dead in just three weeks. Where’s the GOP outrage now?

Here’s part of the video where Bessent was pulled away because he was needed by Trump and returned an hour and a half later visibly shaken. This is where people were possibly wondering if information came in about Bibi or his brother, etc.

📽️NEW: The DOJ is sitting on half the Epstein Files — and Congressman Robert Garcia says that's no accident.

Rep. Garcia breaks down where the Epstein investigation stands: who's been subpoenaed, what the DOJ is hiding and why this is already worse than Watergate.

Who will be the first to take off their shoes? Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.

Under Joseph Stalin the rule was “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

Now, Donald Trump’s men are learning the same lesson — the humiliating way. Although this time, the question is different: “Who will be the first to take off their shoes?” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...

First image was a week ago and the second last night I believe. And Trump is too stupid to figure out that pissing off our allies makes them less likely to deal with us.
