Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific.

That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers.

You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

First word is 'Adieu'?

I have many flaws, but at least I’m not a ketamine addict with a botched penis surgery.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

Ukraine rejected the U.S. proposal and significantly curbed Trump's ambitions The new American proposal involved creating a $500 billion special fund, to which Ukraine would contribute while the U.S. retained full control over the funds. However, Kyiv countered with an offer five times lower—around $100 billion. The two sides are also currently disputing the draft agreement on mineral resources. The document effectively places the war-torn country in economic bondage, making it a U.S. colony: Washington demands 50% of future revenues from resource extraction and sales and seeks control over Ukraine's ports, infrastructure, oil, and gas.

How it started Vs. How it’s going.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

The European Union is preparing to announce a historic €700 billion aid package for Ukraine.

The project was top secret but "accidently let out" after the US visit to EU. This is unprecedented in scale and declaws Trump & Putin's plot to force Ukraine to surrender to plunder it for its resources.🧵
