Trump's allies in Moscow had new plans to murder western journalists. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Russian spy ring plans to kill journalist were 'beyond imagination'
Bulgarian journalist Christo Grozev told the BBC one method was to use a sledgehammer, and another involved using a "suicide bomber".

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.
Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

Researchers initially thought the tomb belonged to a royal wife. Then they unearthed fragments of alabaster jars that identified it as Thutmose II's

@bradmossesq.bsky.social Just read about the stripping away of Mark Zain’s security clearance. I hope they don’t come after you. Please let us know if they do. There must be some sort of organized resistance and going public with all harassment is part of that.

goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/we-need-to... This is a magnificent tirade - about time someone tore apart Vance’s ridiculous but sinister speech
We need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us.
The Transatlantic alliance is collapsing. This may have been the biggest moment for European security since 1991 if not 1945.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

At what point will the leftists who sat out the election over Gaza admit how big a mistake they made? Oh and as a bonus: Elon Musk has taken over our treasury, millions of HIV infected Africans will no longer get medicine from us, and trans people in the USA are no longer recognized.
Great work 👍

She said Musk/Trump did this coup when Congress adjourned to go home to their districts which is why we haven’t seen them out in the streets but they’re coming back tomorrow so that should change
She also said most helpful thing is to call senators and tell them to stall and ratfuck Trump nominee

Trump’s trade war is about to screw us twice.
Higher prices on Canadian goods and anything made with them. Then, less demand for U.S. products in Canada. Now Trudeau is hitting back with $155B in tariffs on American goods. This isn’t “winning”—it’s self-sabotage.
Good job Trump voters.
