This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago beings in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering.

Trump shared a QAnon slogan—“the military is the only way”—and imagery calling for “military tribunals.” Combined with calling for the execution of Members of Congress, this is an extraordinary authoritarian escalation and a grave threat to constitutional rule.

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

This 2006 piece by @normornstein.bsky.social on the guy who's now Marjorie Taylor Greene's Chief of Staff is a must-read today. Ed Buckham was Tom Delay's Chief of Staff. You can't read the MTG tea leaves without reading this first.

Once again, it’s about the grift
"US would take charge of $100 billion in frozen Russian assets and receive '50% of the profits from this venture.'

European taxpayers, who provide almost all of the military and humanitarian support to Ukraine, are expected to contribute $100 billion to its reconstruction."

An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.
Let’s be clear.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Now that the Congress has demanded the release of the Epstein files, let the games begin. If you think this story is over or they are going to cooperate or they are not going to obfuscate, hide, and destroy evidence then you are not paying attention.

The California National Guard was never yours to control.

Your takeover brought chaos to LA and diverted troops from firefighting, anti-drug trafficking, and public safety missions.

This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.
Trump: "I love Los Angeles. If they want help during this, I would love to send in the National Guard or whoever is necessary to help them."

A counterproductive and unlawful U.S. policy:

Several States have now curtailed counter-narcotics intelligence support and/or called out U.S. boat strikes as illegal:

Canada
Colombia
EU
France
Mexico
Netherlands?
UK

We discuss their legal obligations that forbid support for boat strikes.
Obligation of States to Stop Intelligence Support for U.S. Strikes
The only way States can avoid complicity in “arbitrary killings” under IHRL is to refrain from sharing intelligence that enables them.

Jeffrey Epstein was running a child sex ring in Florida. Yet for some reason when Pam Bondi served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 she never charged him. She did prosecute others for being sexual predators but not Epstein. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...
We need to know why Pam Bondi did not investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?!
Was Bondi protecting Trump?!

Just went grocery shopping and prices are so low because of Trump’s tariffs that the cashier whispered, ‘we pay you to shop now,’ and then handed me a rotisserie chicken as a loyalty reward for being an American Patriot.

The Saudis are meeting with Trump tomorrow. There is a lot they want from the US govt. And they have been enriching Trump and his family over the past several months with one deal after another to make sure they get it. Something tells me they will get what they want.
