G'night fellas, and sleep better knowing that Budanov is in Washington DC right now as part of Ukraine's negotiating team. What will happen if Vance tries to bully him, too? 🤣

We canceled our vacation plans. This is all so sickening.

If you post to prove something to me using results of an AI search I'm gonna roll my eyes, laugh and move on. Use actual information from solid verified sources. AI search results are awful. From recent studies I've seen 60% or more of AI search results deliver incorrect information. #AISlop #NAFO

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Everyone should watch this www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.
