It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

Last year I was involved in designing a series of crisis scenarios and wanted to include Orbán moving on Transcarpathia. It was left out because it was felt to be going too far to be plausible. Apparently it's not.

So some people are plainclothes ICE agents interrogating small children, other people are random sociopaths impersonating ICE agents but everyone is supposed to know the difference, surely this won’t get even worse

owning a small business in 2025…

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Aujourd'hui s'ouvre à Jérusalem une conférence internationale contre l’antisémitisme.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Map showing the southeastern United States, parts of Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico labeled as Gulf of America. Notable cities include Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and Monterrey. The Tropic of Cancer is indicated across the Gulf.

Damnit Apple Maps!

There should be a toggle that says “Support Fascism?” that would alter the labeling of the Gulf of Mexico.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

This is so unconstitutional it’s like a law school issue spotter. Spending clause fail. Separation of powers fail. First Amendment fail. Vagueness fail.

Déroulez. Sans surprise, Le Point ne fait pas du journalisme.

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Donc en fait, il réclame la fin de la liberté d'expression ?

He’s threatening to fire federal employees who don’t respond to his email by tomorrow. He has already fired employees with impeccable performance reviews. Promotions will be based on responses to his email rather than detailed performance evaluations by their direct supervisor.

Ouais ouais.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and "TRUMP," will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn't Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is "MISSING." He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden "like a fiddle." A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only "TRUMP," and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the "gravy train" going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died - And so it continues......

Trump proving beyond a doubt he is working for Russia, is now openly attacking Zelenskyy and Ukraine after failing to blackmail them for trillions of dollars. Everyday Trump is president is a 100 years of shame and embarrassment for the United States.

"You should have never started it" -- Trump to Ukraine, which very much did not start the war
