This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I just remembered -- and re-read -- @shteyngart.bsky.social's delightful review of Walter Isaacson's Elon Musk biography from 2023.

"To go from Einstein to Musk in only five volumes is surely an indication that humanity isn’t sending Isaacson its best."

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.

Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.

But here is what we do know. (1/7)

Medicaid is gone…Medicare and Social Security are next. Some nonMAGA Rs have gone against their convictions because they are afraid of losing their seats but if they don’t act now, Congress will have little power. This is a Project 2025 coup and will allow defunding of Medicare and Social Security.

'A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience...Nazi, schmazi'. Amazed I didn't know this gem from the greatest. Sent by @gwchilly.bsky.social in a thread about the USA not having got Nazism out of its system...

Beyond doubt, from hand on heart to armshoot. Anyone who offers 'doubt' is a fascist enabler. Wrote I was staying off media and those evil faces, but some things get through, and this needs amplifying.

Among many challenges, one will be separating the real agenda from the theatre. Of course it matters that Musk is sieg-heiling and the US media’s coverage is cowardly but follow the money!

Today’s program performed by the New Century Orchestra. The last was written in 1939. Bartok had cancelled contracts with his German publishers and was itching to leave Hungary. A Swiss patron commissioned this Divertimento-usually a light entertainment. This was NOT that-more of an ominous warning.
