Ukraine’s Defense Ministry held talks with US defense company RTX on speeding up deliveries of Patriot missiles, the ministry said. The sides also discussed deeper industrial cooperation and servicing air defense systems to strengthen protection of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. #Ukraine

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

In Opinion “A hallmark of the president’s language since he stepped onto the national political stage is that some Americans are just a little more American than others, and that this is a function of race, nationality and, above all, allegiance to Trump,” writes our columnist Jamelle Bouie.

"Y'know, as SBA, you gotta start pulling your weight around here." "Sweet, where do I start?" "Go on TV and yell about the Democrats and wildfires." "Thank you, sir."

The draconian cuts at the Washington Post could be called committing suicide by a once-great journalism institution that deserved trust and respect. But I think it should be seen as the owner of the Washington Post committing murder in service to Donald J. Trump.

Sen. Collins can get MAGA credit for voting for and actively facilitating the rollout of Trump’s least-popular policies across the country while at the same time being given an exemption from them that protects her own constituents from their effects.

There are far more aggressive legal moves D's could be making right now...constitutional challenges, injunctions, discovery that would make agencies sweat. Not a lack of options. They lack appetite. You don’t always lose because you’re outmatched. But you DO always lose when you won’t fight.

Per article, this is key. 🇺🇸 Dems should ask questions about the SpaceX and xAI merger now. Not later. “How much of the country’s informational and connectivity environment…can become functionally dependent on privately owned systems…before democratic oversight even has a vocabulary for it?”

Karoline Leavitt said today that Trump believes in The Constitution. No, he doesn't. He has no beliefs. He is pure self. A smorgasbord of impulses and cravings - for wealth, power, adoration, grandiosity, vengeance. He's one giant id. A parasite. A pathological abomination.

Last week, the House Freedom Caucus said it couldn’t support the bill to end the partial shutdown. Today, they caved — again. The Freedom Caucus went from pit bulls to obedient lapdogs with incredible speed. They talk a good game, right up until Trump tells them what to do — and then they roll over

Her life story will be entitled "Gullibles Travels."

Imagine being so left-bubble-wrapped that you think someone like Klein is...a conservative?

"We don’t face some kind of formidable foe of the sort Lincoln imagined. We have been unable to defeat the designs of a second-rate demagogue and grifter, aided by third-rate bigots and authoritarians, and surrounded by fourth-rate opportunists and conspiracists." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Just saw a piece about the Hoover Dam and it made me think that maybe Trump should put his name on it: Dam Trump

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Timely, important shadow hearing Tuesday 3pm EST on ICE's lawlessness and violence with Senator Blumenthal and @robertgarcia.house.gov. Please share this link widely all 👇and let's get a big, live audience. www.youtube.com/live/qsTIJOr...

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.   Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.   They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Funny that CBS News fired the on-air clown Attia who was connected to Epstein, but not the management clown Bari Weiss whose wife is connected to Epstein 🤷‍♂️

'Turn in your neighbors, and life will be better for you.' Logic circa 1930s Germany, now DHS policy.

Shep lives!

“Elon Musk Asked Jeffrey Epstein to Invite Him to the ‘Wildest Party’ on His Island” Prem, for Zeteo, on how the Tesla & Twitter boss lied about his relationship with the pedophile financier, according to new emails released by the Department of Justice.

Both roles Reek

Unintelligible gibberish

ETTD. A very old and well documented story.

This is a declaration of incompetence by Trump but also a clear sign that he does not understand or appreciate the role of arts and culture in the United States. Truly, the barbarians are inside the gates.

Sideways and 10 days from Sunday.

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

Forget Tricolor. Short TSLA

Yeah. No more fed tax credits, declining clean air credits, robots on proven with questionable market demand for foreseeable future. Hard not 2 see massive revenue decline 4 TSLA. Time to short TSLA? 🤔

Of course, if both paramilitaries were disbanded and all current agents were put out to pasture, you’d have to wonder where they’d take their “training”, aggression and attitude out into society. Hypothetical perhaps, but still, worrisome.

Great response by Rep. Moulton.

200+ showed up in Grand Rapids today to welcome Senate Leader Winnie Brinks to Team McMorrow. Let’s win this thing.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

I don't often share my own emotions here.I mostly stick to facts&reason. But I'm actually a very emotional person. The situation in #Kyiv with freezing people in cold homes that are left without electricity,heating &water during the cold winter after deliberate Russian attacks is simply terrible⤵️

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
