Howard Buffet has donated over $1.45 BILLION of his own money to support Ukraine
He visited the front lines to help evacuate Ukrainian civilians.
This is what true commitment to defending democracy, justice, freedom, and the rules-based order against fascist destruction looks like.

Apparently staying on X allows MPs 'to shape political conversation'. Not clear which one, as no examples are offered. With a sharing link for 3 non-subscribers.

So this was a HUGE question mark, and it’s fascinating that they decided this way.
The statute (32 USC 12406) at its inception MUST have meant the regular armed forces (as few/none of the other forces existed at the time, and it was about making the NG a federal reserve component of the Army)..

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.
