Interested in another angle on why a defeat of 🇷🇺 would benefit humanity listen to👇. Sounds overblown? You fx get to know that USSR had the largest facilities on biological weapons on 🌏 and expanded it after signing a international ban on it. Sounds like something 🇷🇺 would also do? Yes!

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Siri, which party is in control of the White House, House, Senate, and Supreme Court?

If you ranked the 1000 most corrupt things ever done by an executive branch official in the history of the United States something like 950 of them would have happened since Jan 20 2025.

Trump's corrupt efforts to settle the IRS lawsuit with a slush fund that could pay off J6ers amounts to "using public money to reward the perpetrators of right-wing violence." @michaelmechanic.bsky.social explains deeper legal issues here (cites my reporting): www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So unless the Senate significantly reworks its legislation about the ballroom or eliminates the filibuster, it won’t pass And we’ll be stuck with a White House that’s half destroyed-just because Trump wanted to But I can’t wait to see the social media posts attacking the parliamentarian

Kyrylo Budanov,head of Ukrainian Presidential Office,in an interview with Max Tucker for The Times: - While you were in military intelligence,the Kremlin has tried to assassinate you several times& now you are leading negotiations with the Russians.Are they still trying to kill you now? - So,what?

NEW: President Donald Trump bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in tech companies and government contractors including Nvidia and Palantir. Some of those trades overlapped with regulatory decisions that were favorable to these companies. www.notus.org/money/donald...

Not surprising, but still sickening.

What an ass.

Protecting taxpayer dollars? “Vance has the rotten odor of hypocrisy. It’s hard to overstate the sickening level of self-denial required to stand in front of a crowd of actual taxpayers and claim he and Trump are ‘protecting taxpayer dollars.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/protecting...

Yesterday a few folks pointed out that Trump has changed major details about his reflecting pool project since he announced it in late April. I've created a video with graphics that point out how much he's lied about it. This includes edits of longer rambling statements.

Don't look now, but Ukraine has had its best stretch in its war against Russia in years—and maybe ever. Reclaiming territory. Gutting Russia's oil export capacities. And taking the lead in long-range drone strikes. My latest in @moscowtimes.bsky.social: www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/05/12/w...
