MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Here in #Kyiv this morning, standing on John McCain Street after another brutal night of #Russian attacks.
One of the buildings behind me has been severely damaged. At least six people have been killed in Kyiv, with others still trapped under the rubble

If you need another example of the difference between legacy media and independent pro-democracy media, compare The Washington Post and Democracy Docket's coverage of the same story. ("controversial video"--WTF.)

Sounds about right.
Most troops at Fort Benning didn’t know their base honored a man who never served in the U.S. Army and vowed he’d rather see “famine and pestilence” than end slavery.
Brigadier Gen. Ty Seidule (Ret.) explains that history, and the resistance he faced at places like Fort Bragg.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

She's the best "finger in the wind" political analyst I've ever seen in my life.
My theory?
* She's facing a Trump-backed primary challenge
* The likely Democratic challenger is a real contender
Better to get out now and prep her next "What's In It for Me" move.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.
Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her.
