In another blow to legacy media, I'm hearing that the Trump administration plans to remove The Atlantic from its war-plans group chat. The outlet will be replaced in the chat by the Gateway Pundit.

Ukrainians support Zelensky 💯

Approval ratings for the president of the United States is 45%.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

We are the laughing stock of the World.

“Aspiring authoritarians sometimes rely on thugs willing to do violence while denying any link to politicians. In the 2010s in Ukraine, these men were called Titushky. Today, the United States has its own Titushky: the Proud Boys,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes:

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

I have worked on civil wars and state capture for 25 years.
So let me be REALLY clear about this for Americans:

Your courts are only as useful as the willingness of politicians to comply with those judgments.
And the willingness of police to enforce.

And Musk, Trump & Co do NOT care about the law

I kind of feel like we are in a minor parallel to the Star Wars Universe. The end of A New Hope was Biden's election.

And now we are trudging through all of the setbacks of The Empire Strikes Back. If we aren't careful Han Solo (democracy) will be lost to us.

Today on Amanpour & Company Adam Kinzinger referred to Stephen Miller as the Dark Lord. In keeping with Adam’s politics, I find that to be a conservative description.
