Canada beats the US in the 4 Nations faceoff in overtime 3-2.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

It’s bad enough that the GOP has abandoned all checks and balances for abject sycophancy.

Russian government leading the effort to get Tulsi Gabbard confirmed. "We've got your back, Tulsi", says Russian TV.

Trump's nominee for top State Dept job is a Uighur genocide apologist who also thinks America should deliver Taiwan to China.

China and Russia LOVE Trump term 2.

An executive order cannot supersede a statute. Congress has found ByteDance a danger to national security and SCOTUS has upheld it. Trump’s job as of noon tomorrow is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That means enforcing the ban until ByteDance sells TikTok.

The elephant in the middle of the room is that MAGA is an anti-education movement. Muscular, belligerent mediocrity is the MAGA brand. Tell Vivek the call is coming from inside the house. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., was named ambassador to Greece. The timing of the move would have been unremarkable except for what preceded it: rumors that the president-elect’s eldest son was dating a socialite.

What he describes is one of the worst crises the American idea of government has ever faced, and yet it is also one that few Americans will feel directly
Chris Murphy: "There's no doubt that this administration's policy toward the Middle East is going to be compromised by the fact that they're making money off the very people they're sitting across the table from and supposedly having a conversation about the interests of the US"

If we weren't at such a weird moment in history, the collapse of Assad's regime would be widely understood as a huge success for the Biden administration, which pursued sanctions on Russia and Iran as well as Syria, armed Ukraine and thus weakened Russia, and supported Syrian democrats and activists

I wonder if him and Jesse Watters’ mom meet up at the world’s worst sons support group.
Wonder how Republicans are going to spin this statement from Pete Hegseth’s OWN MOTHER.
