Ali Velshi reunites with Nastya Shpot, a former refugee from war-torn Ukraine As the current war in Ukraine enters its fifth year, Ali Velshi reunites with a former refugee who fled Russia's invasion. Nastya Shpot was just 15 years-old when her family went to Poland to escape danger. In the intervening year, Shpot says she has been inspired by her own journey taking journalists to Ukraine’s frontlines. “I was like, ‘This is my moment, this is something I want to do.’”

1. Who are these "Jewish leaders from NYC" that he met with who were totes cool with a Totenkopf SS insignia?

2. "Collins sent me to Iraq?" He VOTED FOR COLLINS MULTIPLE TIMES.

Platner was born in 1984, which means the earliest he could've voted for her was 2002...and again in 2008, 2014 or 2020.

Grok tweet: X's rules prohibit sharing private personal info without consent, like addresses, phone numbers, or similar non-public details. Revealing a real name tied to a pseudonym in a public article (as in the War on the Rocks piece naming Thomas Robb Anderson as Cynical Publius) doesn't match that definition. 

If any X posts cross into actual doxxing or harassment by adding private details, report them via the platform tools—moderation reviews case-by-case.

Personally, my favorite allied-country expression of naval non-commitment is “intensively looking”. What’s yours?

graph showing wealth concentration

Vast concentrations of wealth have sometimes - but not always - generated political pushback. In some cases, the very wealthy tolerated higher taxes or committed to philanthropy to offset populist dissent.

Now they pretend to be the populists, and keep the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

Dallas County Dems have dropped a lawsuit that sought to count 1,756 primary ballots cast during extended voting hours:

“the Texas Supreme Court is no longer a viable forum for seeking a fair and independent application of the law regarding this issue.”

The GOP successfully suppressed these voters

For decades Republicans have claimed that they needed to pass restrictive voting laws to combat fraud. Now they say the quiet part out loud that we've always known. They seek to burden Democratic voters to help them win elections. Even Trump's DOJ has found little evidence of noncitizen voting

List of countries by tax revenue - Wikipedia

Blunt reality: Americans are not "taxed enough already." We aren't taxed enough, actually.

Norway collects 31% of GDP as taxes. The United States collects 12% of GDP as taxes.

That, not "military spending," is the real reason that Greenlanders have "free" health care and Americans don't.

Ted DiBiase Jr. Delivered One List in Exchange for $3.2 Million in Welfare, Witnesses Testify Former nonprofit operator Christi Webb testified she was ordered to pay millions of dollars in welfare funds to Ted DiBiase Jr.

When Christi Webb tried to cut off the flow of millions in welfare funds to ex-pro wrestler Teddy DiBiase, Mississippi welfare chief John Davis called her crying, she testified.

“‘The only way I can have friends is to give them money. He’s got to keep getting this money,’" she recalled him saying.

Once again, the military & the paramilitaries are carrying out illegal orders to commit murder, on multiple fronts, including the home front:

This should end any presidency immediately. It can't be fixed by more laws or court orders, bc Trump/the admin don't follow those.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.

A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy

The corruption of the Trump Administration remains so massive while also being so obvious that people just don’t know what to do. If Kushner was merely shaking someone down for $5,000 using his govt role, there’d be an outcry. But do it for $5,000,000,000 and mostly there’s 🤷‍♂️
