We reiterate that the implementation of elements relating to the European Union and relating to NATO would need the consent of EU and NATO members respectively.

We welcome the continued US efforts to bring peace to Ukraine. The initial draft of the 28-point plan includes important elements that will be essential for a just and lasting peace. We believe therefore that the draft is a basis which will require additional work. link.europa.eu/FCPdy6

In addition to the elements necessary for a just and lasting peace and Ukraine’s sovereignty: any agreement must include the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. We will not rest until every single one of them is reunited with their families, in their homes.

Vladimir Putin is popping champagne corks. His hand puppet in Washington has left the United States alone, weakened and hated on the world stage. Canada and the rest of the world have moved on. financialpost.com/pmn/business...

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim. Russian policy 2025

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

We cannot forget this or let this go. Just because it’s “gone” doesn’t mean: 1. Some of the people are still embedded in the govt in places with data access, and those people didn’t always go through proper background checks. 2. The damage doesn’t go away when the entity goes away.

Home insurance is in crisis, and Big Oil's lies are to blame. "We’re never going to bend the curve of ever-rising insurance costs without addressing the core driver of higher prices: the worsening climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly made a reality," explains CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

“We need to start, now, to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil-fuels, by at least 5% per year. This must happen in order to have a chance to avoid unmanageable & extremely costly climate impacts affecting all people in the world.” PIKs J. Rockström @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I now automatically ignore all information coming from this regime and assume it's disinformation.

Curmudgeonly compaint to ignore: Even as I recognize its necessity, I don't like "we're going to win" rhetoric. I think it implies "norms" can be restored, that there'll come a day when this is "over"--vs. a long struggle in which there're victories but no final victory, because this isn't a movie.

It's always a rare treat to do an interview that ISN'T about politics. It's an even rarer treat to be able to yap about one of my favorite movies in the world!!! Go listen to this very fun ep Johnny did with me for Culture Dumpster :-)

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

If Halligan pulled a grand jury switcheroo, and did not inform the court, this could be her deepest trouble yet.

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files. There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation. It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

Thanks to Rachel Maddow for covering the Remove the Regime event taking place this week. Tomorrow’s schedule begins at 10:00 a.m. with a rally at Flare, followed by what organizers anticipate will be record-breaking direct lobbying for impeachment and removal.
