Everyone knows this is a bribe. It’s fake, of course, but the American oligarchy will probably fall for it. Personal enrichment always trumps principles, moral & ethics when The Swamp aka Trump admin makes decisions.

Russia launched 400+ drones & ~40 missiles at Ukraine overnight, forcing all nuclear plants to cut output after strikes on key substations, Zelenskyy says. Emergency blackouts expand nationwide euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/07/z...

$51 billion could buy a lot of child care slots.

If this is true--it cements the US-Russian alliance. The USA becomes formally the enemy of freedom. Own up to this Republicans.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning? No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

“While I also don’t look to many (. . .) artists to be experts or guideposts in fields like politics and economics, I also do not have any reason to view Michael Knowles, Megyn Kelly, or Jesse Kelly as any more insightful(. . .). That’s because they are not. They are entertainers themselves.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

The problem with this chart is that the median annual living wage for the average American family is $100,166. Meanwhile just 34 people, the top .00001%, control 12% of income in the U.S. Every problem ties back to this problem.

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

Accuse me of catastrophizing, but "‘We want to take over" is about as clear a warning as you will ever get.

Trump is building a network of large-capacity, rapidly-deployed, concentration camps. “converts the US into a ‘geographic region’ for expeditionary military-style detention. …it is the difference between a temporary surge and a permanent infrastructure.” Why are Dems still voting to fund this?

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

So he’s announcing the demolition of the Kennedy Center, correct? He’s East-Winging it

A Liberia flagged freighter turned up in Denmark to pick up a new anchor. The weeks before she was driving back and forth over an area of Baltic Sea particularly dense with comm cables and pipelines with a pit stop in Ust-Luga, Russia. Hope someone, eg a cop, found out where the old one is.

there's a lot in this piece but the Mandelson email about angling for some kind of job at JP Morgan because 'i do not want to live by salary alone' just exemplifies everything people hate about politicians, the City, and revolving doors between the two www.ft.com/content/91e8...

WaPo reports xAI deliberately loosened Grok's guardrails to boost popularity, sparking internal alarm. Employees had to pledge to work with "profane content."

Do you get it now?

Been a while since the Rustaveli Avenue was closed due to the crowd size! It’s so encouraging to see! This Saturday’s weekly larger march was dedicated to "education reforms" protest. In particular, merging Tbilisi State Uni and Georgian Technical Uni is proving unpopular. #GeorgiaProtests
