Exactly right.

Blanche never had an intention to carry out that promise

Lawrence O'Donnell was first to report on this. What's happening with Blanche is not by accident. It's a test. It's a pin prick, compared to what they really want to do, which is bypass Congress for all funding. Vought, vetted & installed by the Heritage Society, promised this. End of democracy.

People who want a parliamentary system forget they have produced people like Berlusconi and Bibi and made it almost impossible to get rid of them. Margaret Thatcher ruled the UK for more than 12 years.

Pretty sure you don’t need to quote ethics experts to say the $1.8bn slush fund is corrupt.

Tis the season of recriminations. War crimes are war crimes. A nation doesn’t get a pass on it by being an Allie. LOAC defines the types of War crimes, so one maybe learn to avoid them, if one chooses to commit a crime, what’s the evidence used. stanforddaily.com/2026/02/18/a...

In Las Vegas , what to do?

Everything about this Admin. is theater, reality TV, manufactured drama. They are not governing a nation they are raping & pillaging. This is just another Ocean's 11. Keep your eyes on the distraction while they drain our treasury. It's who they are & the only thing they know how to do. Not one /1

People should understand by now that large "ivy league" universities aren't in the business of education; they're in the business of selling credentials to privileged rich idiots.

A bold move in the Gulf could create more problems than it solves. Kharg Island may look like an answer, but the risks run much deeper.

Birthright by blood versus birthright by soil. The old world used blood, the new world used soil. The intent is to restrict the vote.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m honored to be part of a legacy of women who pushed forward together to achieve the impossible. Today we celebrate the tenacity of those who made our progress possible, and the resolve it will take to create a better world for our children.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Jesse Watters asked Former Navy SEAL Jack Carr why the recent U.S. attack on Iran is unlike previous wars in Iraq. Because we re-named the Department of Defense to the Department of War. No kidding. He really said that.

The efforts that Putin and Trump are making to profit from the suffering and deaths of the Ukrainian people are a historic mistake and a corruption of the highest order.

A key topic at @munsecconf.bsky.social: Ukraine. I joined Yulia Navalnaya, Thordis Kolbrun Gylfadottir, and Benjamin Haddad for a conversation with Ali Aslan about where the conflict stands. I believe the attempt to force Ukraine to agree to a capitulation agreement with Putin is a disgrace.

Former US Secretary of State @hillaryclinton.bsky.social at #MSC2026 about the current US administration’s attack on the international rules-based order.

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women. As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us: Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

You didn’t have to listen to Trump’s rambling speech last night to know that Republicans are trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote—especially married women. They’ve already made it clear. Time to fight back. indivisible.org/campaigns/st...

Worth noting that Rubio's speech also suggests that the 1965 immigration act is when our "western" inheritance started going to shit. Amazing to see Rubio go full Miller/Vance here. In this discussion, @polphilpod.bsky.social and I go hard at that big idea in what I hope is an ambitious way:
