After years of intending to acquire F-35 fighter jets from the US, Turkey will now purchase 40 Typhoon jets from Britain instead.
Turkey was one of the original 9 partner nations in the F-35 program and had plans to purchase 100 F-35s.

It's so sad that this is necessary.
BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

@tyseidule.bsky.social's book Robert E Lee and Me tells the amazing story of Cadet Percy Squire and the Contemporary Affairs Seminar's role in preventing the establishment of a monument at West Point to Confederate Traitors. It's a story worth revisiting.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Siren's Call by @chrislhayes.bsky.social is excellent. But get the audio book. His impersonation of Abraham Lincoln is worth the price.

Trump's tariffs will wreck Kansas economy. Gutless wonders at the Statehouse won't even protest. • Kansas Reflector
In a breathtaking betrayal, Republicans on a Kansas legislative interin committee refused to stand up for Kansas farmers.
