Lithuania calls for frozen Russian assets to return to Ukraine funding debate Lithuania’s foreign minister says the EU loan deal only postponed the fight over whether to tap frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine and pressure Moscow. www.politico.eu/article/lith...

The way war hurts, it has layers. A girl shared just now that in shopping mall that burned down in Kyiv today there was her wedding dress she left in the store for a fit, and wedding is in less than a month.

Trump is giving Iran $25 billion to end the war to distract from his son marrying the daughter of the guy who sold Epstein his island.

I guess it doesn’t mean Sh*t! Black people been fighting all our lives! Yet WE don’t deserve a Right to Vote? You didn’t build this country on your own, and you think you’re privileged? Learn your history, and quit trying to erase it. We ALL know what you did! #Sheshed youtube.com/shorts/B8NXe...

Yep.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt

No shit Sherlock…

💥 Ukraine destroyed Russian fuel trains, supply depots, troop bases, and communication infrastructure throughout occupied Luhansk region. Over 80 Russian fascists killed and wounded in the operation.

BLINKEN: Ukrainians not only holding on, they’re taking the fight into Russia. Ukraine’s defense industry may end up at the heart of Europe’s future defense industry. Ukrainians now have technology and techniques that we don’t have, and we see that being spread around the world.

Details - Here, Russia was clearly outplayed and witnessed the most successful and devastating Ukrainian strike against its capital city. This was a direct result of Ukraine misleading Russian commanders, as Russians defended the wrong targets, leaving the main prize almost completely undefended...

Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Ukraine refused to share intelligence with US because they believed it was being shared with the Kremlin.

“[Colbert] went on to quote Robert Hayden's famous poem: ‘We must not be frightened nor cajoled into accepting evil as deliverance from evil. We must go on struggling to be human, though monsters of abstraction police and threaten us.’” www.editorialboard.com/take-comfort...

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

Dear Boomer haters, You do understand that hating on a very large group of people because of false stereotypes is bigotry, right?

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the courage, brilliance, and kindness that made us love Stephen Colbert so much.

They are high on their own supply and this is not going to end well for them. This is mask-off Klan shit. We are a racist country, but they are acting like the frog is fully boiled. And it just isn't.

This is how he has abused women and girls for decades. Creepy, invasive, and without permission.

And it was acting AG Blanche who made it happen by speaking publicly in ways he shouldn’t have been about a case that shouldn’t have been brought. I would like to think he will learn a lesson and go back to our SDNY roots but I know that’s not happening. Instead they will attack the judge.

You can do this in Texas, too. They have been running the state for 40 years, and have sent us back to the 1950s. #VoteForABlueTexas. #SenatorJamesTalarico.

Donnie just found out how to spell "dumb." Vote Democratic in November and thereafter.

The ​White House ‌forced U.S. intelligence ​official ​Tulsi Gabbard to ⁠resign ​from her ​post, a person familiar ​with ​the matter said ‌on ⁠Friday, per Reuters

Having Interviewed @jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social last year, it did not surprise me at all that she would win a six-way House primary by 35 points.

Just 3 disaffected House Republicans like Massie is all it would take. If they left their party, registered as Independent, and caucased with Democrats they'd unseat Speaker Johnson and real hearings could take place. Real legislation could be brought forward. But they won't. They are all talk.

"I'm being very generous allowing domestic terrorists to steal only $2 billion dollars from you because otherwise I was going to steal even MORE from you. You're welcome, taxpayers. Suckers!"

That's weird; he told reporters he had nothing to do with the fund. Now he's saying he gave up a lot of money "allowing" it.

The truth about ruzzia that the (cowardly) world refuses to face, and deal with summarily.

I love that Stephen Colbert said to himself, before I die I want to sing with Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello. So he did. He’s earned that.

They can cancel shows. They can pressure networks. They can try to silence critics. But they can’t silence the truth. Thank you, Stephen Colbert. "I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello!"

Why is our government building crematoriums at the detention centers?

Which is to say you could use impeachment as a way to URGENTLY foreground that Blanche is clearing the way for the Proud Boy and Oath Keeper leaders to rearm.

I think @stevevladeck.bsky.social is absolutely right that the way to defeat the Terrorist Slush Fund is via politics. But I think you START impeachment w/Blanche. 25 GOP Senators spoke up (in private) yesterday. 25+47-Fetterman = 71. Better yet, INCLUDE the dismissal of the Sedition verdicts NOW.

This discussion with @harrylitman.bsky.social taught me something useful: Right now, there's a lot to be gained from a lawyer asking an economist questions, and an economist asking a lawyer questions. I hope you'll agree: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/trumps-sys...
