Musk repeats his cartoon monetarist view of inflation, Trump's back onto an iron dome over the US and 'access of evil' and hyperinflation in bacon...these are two of the most powerful people in the world. Unbelievably awful.

I would watch a feature length documentary about the two women who voice The Minions in Italian

Russia's invasion of Georgia in August of 2008 was the first example of #Putin’s policy towards its neighbors, a policy that has been on full display in Ukraine. Jim Townsend Matthew Bryza talk to The Cipher Brief about long-term consequences of the 5-day war thecipherbrief.com/how-putins-war…

“Democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us.” - John F. Kennedy 🇺🇸 #POTUS

Democratic Convention reveals new ad featuring unearthed footage of January 6: “If Trump is elected, he will never be held accountable.”

It's hard to watch a violent coup against the United States, watch it anyway. Donald Trump is unfit for office and belongs in jail.

Important, worthwhile part of overall deterrence and defense. But must be integrated into NATO defense planning and covered by strong forces and observed fires. Otherwise they are not actually obstacles.

MOFA!!!

Margo Gontar 🔱 !¥king pisses me off every time I see you go through this. Keep reporting. We have to keep that Russian loving pig from getting into office here in the US. Forgive our absence while we work for this.

Gold Star mom: "And to think that this man"—she was referring to Trump—"came here and put his thumb up—" She fell silent for a moment on the telephone, taking a gulp of air. "I’m trying not to cry." From Michael Powell - theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

“It’s not a number, not a headstone,” she told me. “He was my only child.”

It will be better if White House doesn’t come out with a statement condemning the Russian attacks on Kharkiv, unless it intends to change policy and allow Ukraine to strike the sources of these strikes with US systems. Another statement is simply a cruel joke on the Ukrainians
