Bodies in the streets of Odesa now as Russians have just committed another nazi level atrocity by sending ballistic missiles loaded with cluster munitions into city center.

Stories like these seem quaint at this point since this will not matter at all. It might elicit a slight grimace of concern from Susan Collins, but there are few Republicans left who care about people pal-ing around w/ genocidal white Christian nationalists. Trump ate dinner w/ Nick Fuentes, FFS.

Russia beginning to rely on DPRK’s massive SPG reserves, as they lack replacement barrels or the means to adequately produce them.

The U.S. has the opportunity to decimate two of its largest adversaries’ militaries at pennies on the dollar.

Yet still want to abandon Ukraine.

Elizabeth Warren on Tulsi Gabbard: "Do you really want her to have all the secrets of the United States and our defense intelligence agencies when she has so clearly has been in Putin's pocket? That just has to be a hard no."

John Bolton on Tulsi Gabbard: "I thought it was the worst cabinet-level appointment in history until I heard about the Matt Gaetz appointment."

Thanks, @burnettcynthia.bsky.social. We're in this mess today because we've never confronted the GOP's traitorous acts--in this case, an alliance w/ Israel and Iran in a treasonous covert operation that hijacked US foreign policy and sabotaged the election. www.harpercollins.com/products/den...

Indeed, veterans' health care is the single large source of expired authorization expenses.

Ramaswamy has been named by the Trump admin as an appointee and the media shouldn't sanewash this by assuming he must not mean that; it's what he said and it should be reported.

Trump returning to power is itself the end of the constitutional order, one heralded by his failure to be disqualified from the ballot as required by the US Constitution, for his attempt to overthrow it by force. Everything happening after deepens the break.

Tulsi and Gaetz 😬

The fall of the Roman Empire but very stupid and everyone has phones.

Cocaine Mitch wins again.

Folks here would be wise to recall that Post was funded by a16z and became a hive of centrist/center left activity before it was shut down. Undoubtedly the trove of data they amassed ended up in adversarial hands. The same risks apply here. Beware.

Incrementalism Lost This wasn’t a “messaging” problem.

While we get a “smooth” transition into a regime that will never give up power, I think the message we need to receive is that incrementalism has lost.
