The brutality of the Trump-Putin alliance that has been unleashed on Ukraine in recent days is staggering. It comes as no surprise, but it is still shocking.
Whether it likes it or not, Europe has become the last stronghold of the rule of law.

WATCH: “During a period Epstein was facing more heat than ever, Bannon got even closer with him.”

@arimelber.bsky.social breaks down the cozy Bannon-Epstein relationship in the emails. Bannon even helped him with damage control re: the underage sex trafficking. MAGA’s ok with this?

As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

Look. You can try to hide the realities of life from your kids, but it’s like I always say, you can teach them about puppet sex, or they can learn about it from the streets. Your choice.

trump is an enormously successful russian ambassador to the US.
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The more Lizza writes the more he indicts himself in serious ethical lapses but there are a lot of editors and publishers who are complicit here, too.

The whole thing is just gross.

(And shout out to the serious journalists who do good work. You deserve better peers and a healthier industry.)

Isn’t handing people back their insurance premiums to pay for care really just saying insurance doesn’t work & we’re all on our own?

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.

Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day

Social Security is not dying. It is being starved. We need it, the rich do not. The cap that shields the wealthy from paying more is a wall made up of greed. Lift it & the system is reborn. Voters keep choosing those who serve the wealthy, then wonder why the table is empty. #ProtectSocialSecurity

I’ve never met a Republican who can describe how insurance works or what Marxism is. (Premiums do not pay for your medical care themselves, everyone’s premiums POOLED does that, cupcakes.)

A federal judge just shut down the IRS–ICE pipeline.
47,000 names were already sent. Millions were next.

This wasn’t enforcement. It was a test to see how far private data could be pushed into surveillance.

The appeal is coming. And systems like this never stop at one group.

My favorite moon landing conspiracy is that it was faked but they hired Stanley Kubrick to direct it and he was so dedicated to make it look real he demanded that they shoot on location.

Republicans crafted an entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party and portraying him as the most dangerous political figure in American history. Called him a jihadist. Introduced a resolution in the House condemning socialism. All gone now.
