The Russian military has suffered damage worth more than $2bn as a result of the operation Web strikes.
The aircraft hit reportedly includes the A-50 radar surveillance plane, as well as Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers — key to Russia’s air assault operations against civilians in Ukraine.

All this talk about “did they know” about Biden’s decline and all I can think about is “do the Tesla board know their head guy is publicly chewing off his own face in the Oval Office next to THIS President.”

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's bag was stolen, including her driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.
If she can't even secure her bag, how can she be trusted with homeland security?

Newsom's discursive speaking style - he called this a distraction, then condemned it, then called it a distraction again - really bit him in the rear.
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I have various concerns about Dem strategy on immigration, but it's unambiguously good for people like Rogan who have credibility with Trump voters to be criticizing Trump on this — CVH should see if he can get on the show.
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”
He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Short term, I shoot myself in the foot. Long term, it's good news. I learn to walk without the foot. I do a three-legged hop, a tarantulan creep. Babadook-like movements. People will ask "why do you do this?" and I will say "it's important I blow my foot off for no reason." They respect this.

The Declaration of Independence lists 27 specific grievances against King George III, so I started highlighting the same offenses that Donald Trump has also committed.
So far I count 10 in whole & 4 in part, while Trump is threatening/planning several more (items 5, 9, 11, 15, 20, & 23).
Thoughts?
