Let me help those who don’t understand this. The Pharisees were Jews. He is blaming the Jews who “control the media.” He’s an antisemite. Fire him.

The Supreme Court needs to be dramatically reformed. This is the origin story for how SCOTUS began to create entirely different sets of rules for administrations depending on whether they are Democratic or Republican.

Two nights ago, Russia sent nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the fifth year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense and more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help protect lives.

My latest column in a short thread. 🔴 on raging mediocrity named POO-tihn 🔴 on remote control killers 🔴 and on banality of evil ⤵️

I instructed the relevant channels to warn the de facto leadership of Belarus about Ukraine's readiness to defend its land and independence. The nature and consequences of recent events in Venezuela should deter the leadership of Belarus from making mistakes.

"What our pre-WWI British authors are trying to tell us, as explicitly as the Edwardian censors would allow, is that, to paraphrase Dorothy Parker, the Baal worshipers were very fucking busy and vice versa."

Spoke to the SEIU union leaders heading up the push for a billionaire tax in California. They say it is a pretty clear choice: A small tax on 200 of the richest people on earth, or millions of Californians losing access to health care. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/in-califor...

The federal government – ICE, FBI, and more – is spying on you without a warrant. This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.

Gisèle Pelicot is not as much of an outlier as we'd like to think. Forums where men discuss how to drug and rape their wives and others abound. As this week has already shown: www.cnn.com/interactive/...

Last week, a worker one of Amazon's Portland area facilities died on the warehouse floor. Employees were told to look away and keep working. A new story by @ryanjhaas.bsky.social for @thewesternedge.bsky.social - reporting this news first. www.thewesternedge.media/p/everyone-i...

Doublespeed uses a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated influencers. A hacker managed to get into a backend system of the company.

4 years ago today, the Russian flagship Moskva successfully intercepted two Neptune missiles and got promoted to a submarine! Happy anniversary to all who celebrate!

New in PN: The world's worst dealmaker screws up the Iran negotiations "All of Trump’s weaknesses as a negotiator are now on display: His childish understanding of power, his inability to grasp the perspective of his opponents, his belief that anything can be accomplished by threats and violence."

So Orban’s keeping the stolen Ukrainian gold as a “retirement” gift, right?

JD Vance, please do keep campaigning for right wing European populists👌

Ukrainians living in the occupied territories of Kherson are being targeted and controlled with landmines and drones by the Russian occupation forces. Zarina Zabrisky spoke with civilians who have managed to escape the hell that is living in the occupied territories. @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social

BECERRA. FOR GOD'S SAKE, XAVIER BECERRA.

On Sunday, Hungary will hold parliamentary elections. These elections loom large the world over. Viktor Orbán is a central figure in the international far right and his loss would be blow to familiar figures like JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are his pupils. snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

Biggest loser in Iran war: Trump. While Iran has made some strategic gains it was devastated by attacks so it is hard to say there were any big winners from this war with one exception. LEGO. LEGO has had a very good war.

"We’re seeing levels of evil that I think haven’t been this visible in the United States in a long time. Not that we haven’t done evil things. It just hasn’t been this blatant and this egregious and this impossible to deny. And I think people are starting to see it now."

While a Northern Fleet Akula-class submarine sailed out from the Kola Peninsula as a diversion, other Russian naval units from the Main Directorate of Deep Sea Research (GUGI) began a covert operation, conducting suspicious activity around critical undersea infrastructure in 🇳🇴 and 🇬🇧 maritime areas.

When the US dropped its first bomb on Iran in the early morning of Feb. 28, approximately half a dozen American cadets were in the Persian Gulf, working on US-flagged ships, unaware their home country had started a war that would put them in immediate danger. www.notus.org/defense/us-cade...

On 3/23 US inked a deal with Costa Rica whereby Costa Rica will take 25 US deportees a week. That was 3 days after govt again refused to send Abrego to Costa Rica, where Abrego's long been willing to go. Govt has tried to send him to Uganda, Eswatini, Ghana, & now Liberia. 1/2

Again, the reason why Trump talks down Ukraine’s actual successes in an existential war is that his kids are supposed to profit from his war of vanity. It’s all an advertising campaign to him, right down to the burials of US soldiers, where he hawked his golf cap.

I've gone blue in the face saying this but this is completely illegal and if it's not stopped now it will be a preview of 2027-28, when Trump will just keep the budget going by himself

It's really hard to overstate the catastrophic failure of legacy media to present the ascendancy of a psychotic criminal to the presidency for what it was. Time and again, they normalized, sanitized, sane-washed and thus assisted a madman as he seized and began to serially abuse awesome power.

“🇺🇸 Friday removed sanctions against Mikhail Zadornov, a prominent Russian banker and former finance minister” So weird how this keeps happening🤷🏼 www.globalbankingandfinance.com/us-removes-r...

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.

No real problem with ordinary folks asking about the 25th, but every time a congressman asks for the cabinet to remove a president you should read that as them abdicating their own duty to pursue impeachment through congress

Prediction market platform Polymarket has issued an apology for allowing users to place bets on the fate of American pilots aboard a US fighter jet downed over Iran. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...

1/ An Iranian ballistic missile strike has completely destroyed an Israeli drone factory, only 24 hours after it was profiled by an Israeli newspaper. It illustrates how media reports may potentially lead to hostile targeting. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/wild...

This post by Trump is next level crazy. He is clearly desperate about Hormuz, but it's an almost impossible problem for him to solve. In this video, I explain why. (And also why the Europeans won't just do it for him.)

The Real Intelligence Failure in Iran: A costly quagmire was predictable. Trump went to war anyway. New from me.

There’s a world coming where Ukraine has left everyone behind and I don’t think anyone at all is ready for this.

I lived in Kuwait in 1977-78, which was then the real capital of the Gulf - enormously wealthy, well educated, cosmopolitan & sophisticated. The leading tune was ABBA's "Money, money, money must be funny in the rich man's world." /1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETxm...
