🇳🇱🇺🇦 Zelensky: A new important step in our defense cooperation with the Netherlands – today, our countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning Coproduction of drones. I thank the Netherlands for support – since the start of the full-scale war, it has already reached nearly $9 billion.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

NOBEL rewards democracy over authoritarianism

Fed Governor Christopher Waller: "Job growth has probably been negative the last few months. it doesn't look like it's doing much better. I don't hear anybody with big hiring plans."

Watching the president of my alma mater speak out forcefully in support of academic freedom and free speech and moral courage and good God it is so refreshing to actually see leadership in this arena (and leadership, period)

It really feels like they’re trolling our autocrat.

Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️ In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

“The defense secretary underwent a round of cosmetic injections last month.” One insider: “He’s always been full of himself, but lately his ego has been off the charts.”

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

NEW: A federal judge in Illinois has granted a temporary retraining order which prevents federal agents from using force against journalists. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

All to cover up the Epstein files.

Exactly. "Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk. He has rejected science, misled the public and compromised the health of Americans." wapo.st/3VTALll

So many normal people being brave and then all these wealthy and powerful people being cowards. History will not be kind to the people like shari Redstone who enabled Trump.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was. "I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi." Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

It's hard to overstate how alarming NY AG Letitia James's reported indictment is. This is the second time in weeks that a political opponent of Trump has been indicted, at his urging, against the advice of career prosecutors and Trump's own appointees. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

An urgent warning from the last six surgeons general about RFK Jr’s threats to America. It’s long past time for this hack to resign. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Bored National Guard Goes Door To Door Asking If Chicagoans Have Any Order They Need Restored https://theonion.com/bored-national-guard-goes-door-to-door-asking-if-chicagoans-have-any-order-they-need-restored/

NEWS: The Epstein Survivors' press conference yesterday was postponed. New date TBD.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50! #FightFireWithFire

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Context matters

Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN (!): "I'm getting phone calls from people that are saying if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren't gonna be able to have health insurance. They're going to have to drop it."

I think even Marsha knows this.

They did this with this dude more than twice too

My choice for the Nobel Peace Prize this year: Chef José Andrés and the World Central Kitchen.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I'm talking about the Epstein list. I genuinely don't understand why there's been any effort to hide this & prevent it from coming out. But b/c of the efforts for years now to hide it, it certainly makes you feel afraid when you're one of the ones truly on the frontlines."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus? TRUMP: Suspending who? Q: Habeas corpus TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

How many felons do you think are working for ICE at this point? I definitely think it's a a non-zero number. If they weren't a felon when they started, I suspect many of them are...now.

We are ruled by criminal morons

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.” Jen Psaki last night…

Amid rising airspace provocations, the European Parliament has called on EU countries to shoot down Russian planes violating their airspace. And drones?

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

My life changed when I first read "The Sea Around Us." Rachel Carson's words captured my 13-yr old sense of wonder for a place I barely knew but felt for so deeply, the ocean. Honored to speak to her legacy @agu.org and grateful to my colleagues for the nomination 🌊💙 www.whoi.edu/press-room/n...
