Why Europe has to act fast: 1. The more funding Europe gives Ukraine, the earlier the war can end with a Ukrainian victory. 2. Faster funding means less total cost. 3. It also means far less Ukrainian losses. 4. Which also cuts the reconstruction costs. 5. & safeguards democracy.

Witkoff is not buying the Russian narrative. He is selling it.

Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin ends his illegal invasion of a sovereign nation and withdraws all Russian troops immediately. That is peace. Nothing less. Adam Kinzinger

President Zelenskyy is thanking again other leaders for their support. How about we all thank him and all Ukrainians. They are fighting Putin and keeping us safe. If Putin wins we all lose and Europe is finished. Thank you President Zelenskyy and all Ukrainians 🇺🇦🙏

If reporters could remove their lips from Trump's backside for a minute b/c he didn't act like a flaming asshole in a photo op with Mamdani, perhaps they could focus on the fact he (Trump) is selling out Ukraine to the Russians. I don't know, just a thought.

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. Full stop. Proceed accordingly.

Cede not to Russia a single grain of Ukrainian soil. Never.

Today is Holodomor Memorial Day

Hey @nytimes.com, why is this on page A16?

Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

Despicable.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?

Does he even own a suit?

“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial,” Mr. Trump said, referring to the murdered columnist. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him, or didn’t like him, things happen." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

To clarify:

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

I don't understand why transition housing that will house chosen best prospects for transition housing is more dangerous for a neighbourhood than a bunch of new apartment buildings. Everyone getting a tiny house will have had to jump thru hoops to get one. No such hoops for apartments...

This explains EVERYTHING! I learned how to read using phonics. I still sound things out when I'm in a pinch. Online, people say they don't like to read. No wonder. After reading this, many literally don't know how. We wonder how we are here politically.... Maybe it's this!

The Toronto Blue Jays are champs in my books. Thank you, boys, for an inspiring season & playoff run.

Margaret Atwood is taking longer grocery shopping because she is checking the provenance of every item. She is a passionate environmentalist, but now she is more worried about boycotting anything that comes from the US “Elbows up!” she declares, taking a furious stance in the fruit and veg isle.

Why wasnt this the top headline in the New York TImes today?

Trump's FCC tried to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air...literally a month ago today! Do they think we are stupid?

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page. The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores. The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism. charlieangus.substack.com/p/f-is-for-f...

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

History repeats.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

🔥🔥🔥 BREAKING: Governor Gavin Newsom fights FIRE WITH FIRE and announces that California will cut off all funding to any college that signs Donald Trump's MAGA loyalty pledge. This is a brilliant chess move from Newsom...

I hate it when Putin speaks and people quote him seriously, analyzing his words, searching for meaning, trying to understand him as if he’s ever uttered a single word of truth. Cynical murderer and a lying gargoyle, that's what he is.
