Obama and Biden gave Ukraine to Putin. And nice speeches didn’t do enough. Sullivan saying “we provided tanks” (17 exactly) was a conclusion to disastrous lack of decision making.

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks

Stop saying “we did it to ourselves.” No we did not.
Every QAnon/MAGA was systematically lied to until they were brainwashed into a death cult. ZERO people have brainwashed themselves.
Our failure to recognize this will end America—and maybe the world. It’s the psyops, stupid.

1566 days ago I started warning about QAnon, how it isn’t just a kooky internet game gone wrong, but a Russian-backed christofascist death cult with genocidal intentions — led by a psychopath with a pension and three stars.
Despite all that, QAnon won. I tried.

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan.

It all rests on a never-invoked provision of the Constitution found in Article 2, Section 3, which says that "in Case of Disagreement between" the Senate and House "with Respect to the Time of Adjournment," the president "may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper."

New in PN: @davidnir.bsky.social on how Mike Johnson could make Trump's recess appointments a reality
"Even if a few Republican senators stand up for themselves and resist Trump's recess appointments scheme, no one should assume the speaker would do the same."

Talk of cutting out Dems — and GOP dissenters — is more than just idle rhetoric.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

The proximity of launch sites across the border gives citizens only seconds to hear the alarm before impact.
