That IS our foreign policy NOW ☹️

"Russia doesn’t have allies. It has nations it dominates and bullies and coerces, and nations it wishes to dominate and bully and coerce. How dissimilar is that foreign policy from America’s now?" ICYMI @nataliaantonova.bsky.social:
Ukrainians Are in Shock
What other reaction can there be when America turns against its allies, its values, itself?

Their job is to **identify American soldiers** killed in combat and Trump has told them to stand down and stop their work.

"Forensic genealogists who help identify U.S. soldiers killed in combat were told to pause their efforts..."

"Russia Russia Russia" isn't about attacking Trump, per se. It's that it's increasingly the only explanation for Trump's behavior that makes it make sense.

This Isn’t Four-Dimensional Chess. Trump’s Helping Russia.
President Trump’s recent moves with respect to Ukraine may seem bewildering. But they’re not. He’s partial to the country’s invader.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.

At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

Apparently with all of their investigative reporting teams the Times and the Post can't figure out what the gesture is that Elon Musk made (twice).

"If you committed violence on that day [Jan. 6] obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And there is a little bit of gray area there." -- JD Vance, eight days ago.

Trump pardoned basically all of them tonight

"Donald Trump has signaled that this is an administration that supports political violence." @saletan.bsky.social on tonight's J6 pardons. He also raises the question: why would those who got a pardon not commit similar acts again?

TRUMP'S DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY SARAH MATTHEWS: "I think that his actions on January 6 and the lead-up to it, the way that he's acted in the aftermath, and his continuation of pushing this lie that the election is stolen has made him wholly unfit to hold office ever again."

Two men see an anvil. One points to it and says "it's an anvil! Just like in the cartoons." While handling it, one man drops the anvil on the other man's head and says "whoops." The other man looks at his hands with a large bump on his with an X bandage on it. He marvels "hey, I didn't die." They suddenly both look worried." The injured man asks "are we... real?"
