A few days ago many reported of the death of Denis Kapustin, one of the Russian volunteers fighting alongside Ukraine. In fact, he is very much alive. This was revealed today in a teleconference where Budanov was present.

This snippet perfectly illustrates why we need to completely reform the Supreme Court

Because it was a SCOTUS packed with MAGA judges-chosen by Trump himself-that shamefully deprived America of its rightful justice by granting him immunity and destroying any chance Jack Smith had to prosecute him
Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

Funny how there’s always “no money” for health care, food, or housing—until ICE needs billions. Then the vault swings open. If cruelty had a budget line, this would be it.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.

The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.

Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.
ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Trump tells supporters in a new fundraising email that if they don’t donate to him within the next hour, Democrats will steal their "tariff rebate checks" and give them to "illegals," that the country is "boiling over," and that only an immediate cash transfer to him can stop total disaster.

There is a devastating report in the NYT this afternoon that one the US-destroyed fishing boats washed ashore in Columbia and contained only evidence of marijuana.

Trump’s claim that he is saving the US from fentanyl smuggling by Venezuela is a disprovable lie.

What is the actual plan for this? AI magically starts producing new industries that don’t exist in the next three months? The unemployed who have never done construction work start doing construction work? Nothing is pointing in this direction, except for elite spending on tennis seats and gambling.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:

*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)

Here's Trump giving more credence to the fear that Israel plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza and ship them to Somaliland, a self-declared country in the Horn of Africa that no UN member state recognizes – except for Israel.
Trump: "I heard that number today -- half of Gaza would leave. I've always said it. I said if they were given the opportunity to live in a better climate, they would move. We're helping the people of Gaza a lot. So is Israel, by the way."
