Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This. And for historians in the future, please record your experiences ON PAPER (preferably cotton fiber)!
Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.
Print it.
Put it in a frame.
Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

When will it be confirmed that DJT is not only in the Epstein files, but that he was a close associate of Epstein and intricately involved in the trafficking business?

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."
SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Newsom has backstabbed trans people and homeless people repeatedly, but you’re fine with that because you’re not affected. People like you demand one-way coalitions. Morally and strategically bankrupt.
So many people on the far left are not willing to do even basic coalitional politics (like not backstabbing someone fighting your enemy) to fight fascism.

I think everybody should get to switch their periods off if they want and yes there are several fairly effective methods for doing so but unfortunately none of them seem to work on me and at this moment in time I am very mad about that

Received a question about us not knowing for sure what's happening yet. I want to address this clearly.
We don’t have full visibility yet, and waiting for certainty to talk about this is dangerous.
When the federal government is acting over the objections of a state, that is a critical situation.

🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.

Believing that cutting USAID will save money is a textbook case of civic illiteracy, allowing politicians to create the impression of action. Cutting USAID will not just fail to trim the deficit—it's a surefire way to invite additional costly disasters. USAID is 0.3% of the budget.

There’s a great Finnish saying ”to climb the tree with your ass first” meaning to do something in the wrong order or counterintuitively in an unnecessarily hard way.
That’s how Finland’s president Stubb described Trump’s expectation to get an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine 😆
