3/3 the document executes a very typical Russian maneuver: crime for Russians without punishment, and punishment for others without crime.”

2/3 Indeed, it is only through a document such s this one, harnessing the power of the United States for Russian purposes, that Russia could possibly achieve its own announced purposes. By leaping right to the idea that Russia should be rewarded rather than punished,

Russian Unreality and American Weakness Notes from a bizarre moment of diplomatic history

1/3 “While everything is demanded of Ukraine, nothing is asked of Russia. This is a capitulation document written by the aggressor and served to the victim, at a time when the aggressor is not doing well on the battlefield.

FCC rolls back plan to make cybersecurity a legal duty for telecom carriers Chairman Brendan Carr said the earlier interpretation pushed CALEA beyond what Congress intended and would have led to cybersecurity rules that were too expansive on paper but...

“The FCC has rolled back an effort to make cybersecurity a clear legal duty for US telecom carriers. In a 2-1 party-line vote, the agency revoked a January 2025 declaratory ruling that CALEA requires carriers to secure their networks against unlawful access and interception.”

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders

2/2 the United States calls an ally.

The intelligence community did its job and told the truth about who gave the order. On Tuesday, the president of the United States chose to treat that truth as the problem and the author of the crime as “one of the most respected people in the world.””

When Trump Chooses the Killer Over the Truth “Things happen” when the president doesn’t want to know.

1/2 “The question is not whether a U.S. president should deal with unsavory leaders. Every president has. The question is whether he acknowledges who they are while doing it—or chooses, for his own purposes, not to know.

Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in a consulate by agents of a state

“There is a direct correlation between Trump’s horrible approval rating and his direct attacks on the 4th Estate.”

“Trump is too much of a narcissist to blame himself so he strikes out at the people who report the news.”

2/2 The Trump presidency won’t end well. The question is whether the harm to the nation can be contained. All honor to Senators Slotkin and Kelly and Representatives Crow, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Deluzio for taking a step to try to limit the damage.”

Brace Yourself for … Full. Blown. Panic. The president is feeling cornered and lashing out. It will get ugly—and dangerous.

1/2 “We have a president in panic surrounded by weaklings who will submit to his diktats and sycophants happy to egg him on. And so we enter a period more dangerous than the last months of Nixon.

2/2 “Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated. Don’t Give Up the Ship!”

‘HANG THEM’: Trump Boosts Message Calling For Executing Democrats In Congress In a series of unhinged social media posts, he also called it “punishable by DEATH” that lawmakers released a video urging military service members to disobey unlawful orders.

1/2 “What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders.”

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

A tweet from “chris evans @notcapnamerica” includes an edited image of Trump pointing toward stacked food items with text reading: “So when I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one. —President Trump, August 2024.” Below it is a tweet from “Newswire_US” reading: “U.S. grocery prices hit record high as monthly cost for a family of four reaches $1,030.”

He’s never set food in a grocery store as a customer, has he.

A compilation of headlines and tweets that show how "September 2025 had the highest unemployment rate in 4 years."

Unemployment is now the highest it’s been since 2021.

Trump and Republicans need to take their heads out of the sand and focus on the economy and affordability.

“The thing that worries me most is the unemployment rate now is at its highest level in four years. It's at a level that we hadn't seen since 2017, except for during the pandemic.” That’s the trend to watch.

I bet fliers would be in a better mood if the Trump administration didn’t just rip away rules that make airlines compensate people for canceled and delayed flights.

BREAKING: Trump Calls for the Execution of 6 Democratic Lawmakers After Democratic lawmakers urged troops not to follow unlawful orders, Trump labeled them “seditious” and said their actions should be punishable by death.

Reminding military personnel that they should not follow any orders that violate the law or the Constitution is sedition and treason??? Punishable by death???trump and his cronies are the ones who should be executed!

Ukraine Expected To Give Up Land, Some Arms Under U.S. Peace Plan: Report Such a plan would reward Russia for the invasion of its neighbor.

Once again, trump is trying to force Ukraine to accept Russia’s demands in order to end the war. No discussions with Ukraine, and no concessions by Russia. What a scam!

Please Don’t Fall for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Convenient Rebrand Doing the bare minimum isn’t proof of rehabilitation

“A few sensible remarks and a new sullen tone do not suffice to suggest that Greene’s actions reflect any genuine progress. And for those willing to give her a chance and/or hope she’s “seen the light,” it’s probably because you were never one of her targets and have nothing to lose if she reneges.”

2/2 substantive issues, such as healthcare, remains to be seen.

What is no longer in doubt, however, is that Trump is in full retreat and, therefore, poses an existential threat to a party that consistently placed cult loyalty above country, the rule of law, truth, and simple decency.

Trump is in Full Retreat A scandal that he inflamed engulfs his presidency

1/2 “The Trump pedophile debacle puts a human face on the corruption of DOJ. Real people are hurt when justice becomes a political tool.

Trump turned Democrats’ chagrin regarding the end of the shutdown into amazement that Trump has triggered a full-throated mutiny. Whether this uprising spreads to

2/2 Men’s ability to adapt to modernity is being stymied by propagandists and grifters, who persuade men to adopt anti-social behavior, because doing so is incredibly profitable.”

Don’t blame women for men’s loneliness. Blame capitalism There’s a lot of money to be made off angry, isolated men

1/2 “It’s time to look at how male loneliness has been monetized by all manner of seedy actors who have every incentive to discourage men from making changes to improve their lives.

2/2 and so it will protect it. The result will be a democracy in name only.

Under the Roberts court, it won’t be enough to rewrite the rules of the game. The umpires are the problem.”

This is all John Roberts’ fault Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

1/2 “Today’s court is on the same trajectory, bent on retrenching white political dominance. But it will go further. It will greenlight Trump’s corrupt, self-enriching behavior and unlawful power grabs. The majority will instinctively know that its fate is tied to the fate of Trump’s movement,

“In a 2-1 vote, the panel ordered Texas Republicans to use the congressional lines they had in place before they redistricted earlier this year.”

2/2 The Supreme Court should admit its error and restore the principle that no one, not even the president, is exempt from the rule of law.”
