Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration?
I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each.
I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

The legendary Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) gone, just like that. Since 1951, these disease detectives have hit the pavement and secured vital information needed to face emerging threats to our lives.

In 2023, a Google researcher wrote, “We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI.”
The paper argued open-source AI would outpace closed models by iterating faster and offering more flexibility. It also predicted users wouldn’t pay for restricted models when free ones were as good.
A prescient take.

This is what it looks like when you lose a massive spacecraft on its way to orbit right over the Caribbean. Lots of commercial flights turning/holding/diverting to avoid falling debris from SpaceX's Starship.
