Aaaaaand that map itself is visual expression of Putin's talking points.
A large map of Ukraine has been placed in the Oval Office ahead of private talks - BBC
The map was placed opposite the table where Trump and Zelensky were sitting as journalists were asked to leave the office.👇

A particular galling outrage.
Mike Flynn, who pushed for Trump to declare martial law and seize dictatorial power after losing reelection in 2020, is now on the board of West Point.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where Hegseth is the Defense Secretary. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

Thank you!
The best lawyer in our country right now is Marc Elias. And we need him now more than ever. He seems to be the only lawyer that really gives a shit about democracy.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.
