This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order 

Leavitt: The latter is true

Holy shit -- Markwayne Mullin insists later in the interview again that Obama oversaw actually oversaw the sweetheart deal with Epstein, even after Tapper (accurately) fact-checked him. Yikes.

The German term for forcing institutions to become in sync with the demands of an authoritarian movement is "Gleichschaltung"
Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

When I called a few weeks ago, @duckworth.senate.gov’s staff told me she would no longer vote for any Trump appointments. I don’t appreciate being directly lied to by my senator.

Booker (D-NJ)
Coons (D-DE)
Duckworth (D-IL)
Fetterman (D-PA)
Gallego (D-AZ)
Hassan (D-NH)
Kaine (D-VA)
Kim (D-NJ)

Under normal political conditions, I'd think we're there (or very close to there). Against the backdrop of stochastic violence expectations in the US, probably still a ways to go. (Legitimate fear that going against Trump gets you shot in a country with ~1.2 guns per capita.)

Not only will they retaliate, their retaliation will be far more coordinated and targeted than during the first-term trade quarrels he picked, and they hoped would blow over.

None of these Democrats should enjoy a moment's peace.

Cortez Masto (NV)
Durbin (IL)
Fetterman (PA)
Gillibrand (NY)
Hassan (NH)
Peters (MI)
Schatz (HI)
Schumer (NY)
Shaheen (NH)

They've effectively just voted for Donald Trump's agenda without putting up a fight. Never let them hear the end of it.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

Ce soir plus que jamais aux côtés des ukrainiens et de Volodymyr Zelensky.

Dans ces tempêtes où les vents mauvais soufflent forts, rassemblons nous derrière le président ukrainien.

Il s’agit de nos valeurs,
il s’agit de notre démocratie,
il s’agit de notre liberté.

Nous vaincrons.
Slava ukraini !

The chances of a permanent rupture between the EU and the US are gradually increasing
BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Trump has outsourced the presidency to Elon Musk — no wonder Trump has time to serve as the Chair of the Kennedy Center. What could be more important than overseeing road companies of Broadway shows?

If I were the PM of Canada or Mexico, I would impose export duties on anything that Trump exempts from his tariffs. Those exemptions are your guide to "what will cause Trump political pain."
