Madness! Gen X rebelled against everything, now they’re rebelling against the idea of their kids having a spine.
Gen X parents are terrified to let their Gen Z kids grow up, even as they head to college. Here are the group chats to prove it.

Heard a great quote recently by @neildegrassetyson.com: "You can credit science for nuclear power. They became weapons because countries can't get along."

French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Exactly, no holding back.
European leaders need to free themselves from the delusion that rational arguments will have any effect on the MAGA White House.
They are not rational. MAGA is a cult of personality fueled by weaponized lies. They speak only the language of power. Europe must speak it back.

Stopping aid to Ukraine at a time when Russia's military spending and production is so high could result in a dangerous situation for the West.
Trump's Ukraine play could free up Russia to set its ramped-up war machine on other countries

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
