Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.
The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

@nytimes.com Do better. This 👇💯
Less than a year ago @nytimes.com was sent hacked data about Trump's vetting of JD Vance, which they refused to publish.
But Mamdami's hacked college application gets an exception because of interest from random online Nazis and Chris Rufo, the NYTimes' de facto executive editor.

Arguably if NYT wanted to get ahead they could have written that story, about Nazis trying to start a race controversy with hacked data. But as it turns out, they wanted to be the Nazis.

Fascism. It's just fascism.
House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior."
So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.
1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously.
2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

i need a smart person who isn't a pod caster to explain the long term implications of FPV drones that cost a couple hundred dollars being used to torch three hundred million dollar bombers. again please no pod casters are invited to comment
