Putin Is Taking His Hybrid Warfare to the Sea As a retired admiral and former supreme allied commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, I was thrilled when Sweden and Finland joined the alliance. My first thought was about the vast coastline the two Nordic states provided, essentially turning the Baltic Sea has into a “NATO lake.”

Putin has adapted the hybrid warfare tactics he uses on land to disrupting the Baltic Sea, and NATO has to fight back.

Rep. Ro Khanna is drafting a bill to make ICE officers wear body cams, complete de-escalation training, and drop the face masks during raids. No more secret ops. No more unchecked power.

Transparency is coming. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

MTG finally trying to represent her constituents is great, but don’t mistake it for her seeing the light. Running cover for the Epstein files while stripping her district’s health care is a bad look, especially when Trump stops picking up the phone. Don’t forget who she is.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump to get a 'routine yearly' medical check-up — his second in 6 months The White House said Trump would be at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and undergo a checkup after a planned meeting with service members in the facility.

Wait… Did we decide to shorten the year? Is that what's been happening? No wonder time feels like it's moving so fast…! …Oh… We didn't?

Huh. Well then this seems weird.

Since he refuses to be president to all of us, he can't be president to any of us. Remove him and release the Epstein files

The alignment of far right politicians with billionaire tech bros is at play.
The op ed is an illustration of why so many subscribers left the WashPo and so many journalists left the newspaper in disgust and dismay over what happened to a revered paper.
