It still baffles me that the U.S. could sink that far that fast, and that ordinary Americans are not protesting.

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard denied Reuters reporting that Russia aims to occupy all of Ukraine and threatens Europe. She called it lies and propaganda meant to sabotage Trump's peace efforts. Gabbard claimed NATO and EU want to drag US forces into war with Russia.

On the Lyman front, a Russian assault group on motorcycles tried to break through and seize the positions of the tank crews of the 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade under the cover of fog. As a result, Ukrainian defenders tore the enemy to pieces, destroying 12 motorcyclists.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

Ukrainian "Tur" unit scouts found WWII-era detonators with Nazi symbols at a Russian ammo depot. These date back to a 1939 USSR-Germany deal for military tech, meaning the devices are over 85 years old.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Only 3% of the documents are new information, this is the GOP flooding the zone with already public documents to avoid releasing more #Epstein related information and files. Their play is to deny, distract, and deflect. #opdeatheaters

This is a Coup, and if there were any Justice in America, this would be the largest RICO Act home-run in history.
And I repeat, Pam Bondi isn’t an Attorney General, she’s a criminal who the orange felon paid with bribes to help keep him out of prison when she was the corrupt Florida AG. She does not work for the law, she is hired to create lawlessness.
