The speed of innovation by the Ukrainians is both inspiring and terrifying.
Deep state refugee from that darker place. Center/Left. Into politics, Ukraine, soccer, the arts, education, and emerging science/tech. Not the person you invite to parties, but the first you call when the SHTF.

Nothing evokes images of cutting edge technology like Alabama.
Can confirm.
I think that is from the bathroom attached to the Lincoln Bedroom in the residence.
Whatever it is, it is probably to disrupt the press cycle in advance of the Wednesday Epstein victims' event.
Not having a justice department to investigate this is clear evidence that we are past the authoritarian infancy.
Please pay close attention to Item M from the August 28 State Board of Education agenda. They are going to tank SOL scores in the first year of your new administration and they will blame you and put the responsibility on you to fix their mess.
Exactly right. If he functions as an asset it doesn't matter if he is or is not.

No one should ever have to feel the way that woman felt at that moment. Chilling.
Jones responds to Ogles…
The loss of the three University of Vienna paintings at the end of WWII might be the most significant art loss ever. If they were hanging in the Belvedere or MOMA right now they would be iconic.
He's about to attack Virginia's kids. See Agenda Item M for tomorrow's Virginia Board of Education meeting.
How does a president have time to keep track of this sort of crap?
These people had to leave their normal day jobs and families to get called up. For this. They making sacrifices that should only be requested in times of crisis.
It is time to organize the resistance.
I don't know many kids who commit murder or adultery. I think even progressives might agree with Vonnegut that we should put up the Beatitudes instead.
This. The democracy has to be reestablished before these sort of pie-in-the-sky statements can be made.
Negotiations ended WWI and helped cause WWII. WWII ended because of the total destruction and forced unconditional surrender of the axis powers. Putin will never negotiate in good faith when he feels he has the upper hand. First he must be brought to heel, then forced to comply.
The warrant is probably being executed by a 17-yr old intern from the Heritage Foundation.
All you have to do is find 2,000 officers and set them loose on patrol. Sure. How would cash-strapped cities find the extra $200+ million that this would cost per year? Where is this vast supply of unemployed policemen?
Agree, but a little late now that we are one-party authoritarian state. Eyes back on the real crisis.
True, but worse news: America is now an autocracy. Who is leading the resistance???
If Putin comes to the USA during the World Cup some nations may feel compelled to withdraw from the competition. It would be like adding piss to the water.
Agree, but there are bigger issues at the moment.
I guess it makes sense not to employ people if you aren't going to listen to them. She's a national disgrace.
There is no way in hell that allies are sharing intelligence with this nut. I wouldn't trust her with my grocery list.
PragerU is setting itself up to be the new MAGA thought police.
He should wear the exact same suit that Putin did, because apparently that worked wonders.
Putin and Trump are just turning around the narrative so that Zelensky will look like the bad guy for refusing peace. Any ceasefire or peace agreement where Ukraine doesn't become a less genocidal version of Israel is a waste of time.
My unsolicited advice to Zelensky: -Wear a suit to give Trump a cheap win -Don't believe US "security guarantees" - remember Budapest Memo? -Work with the EU to create a new security treaty that will protect Ukraine and the Baltic states.. Use the new treaty to lure Belarus to overthrow AL
I am pretty sure that this tweet is a clear violation of his oath of office.
I wonder if a second Europe-only defense treaty that offered NATO-like security guarantees to Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Poland is what needs to happen. It would also give them an opportunity to have joint exercises to see what defense holes need to be filled w/o US involvement.
Who let him in The Beast? WTF
I'm pretty sure that I know that tunnel from Wolfenstein. Try poking on the walls in case they open to room full of gold treasure.
If anyone wants to continue this, the Russian delegation is staying at the Alyeska resort, which is well outside of Anchorage off the Seward Highway.
It's time. We've seen all we need to see to know where this is going.
After it blew up the HMS Hood, killing 1415 Allied sailors in one of the most horrific explosions ever in warfare. Is he celebrating all those dead Brits?
How many arrests did the real police make in the same timeframe?
It sounds like he is going to have her killed outside of prison because killing them both in prison would be beyond plausible deniability even for his MAGA base.
It would have been too obvious to kill her in jail. Don't be surprised if there is an "accidental" car crash, overdose, or "carjacking gone bad."
Please help localities rebuild the social contract between gov't and public employees like teachers. Teachers used to get barely middle class pay in return for security and a good pension. The pay has slipped and pensions have been gutted, so the best aren't entering the profession. Kids suffer.

It never made sense to me why we don't just refer to universal healthcare as simply a cheaper, more efficient system that leads to better outcomes. All the data supports this.
Pro-Nazi sympathies are the only reason someone would have a pic of that ship. It is a dog whistle to let like-minded people know he is one of them.
Hasn't the Heritage Foundation run out of people yet? The custodians will be getting cabinet posts soon.
If they were successful in finding them maybe Putin really will get Alaska in the Ukraine peace deal.
"Perhaps while fleeing from justice."
Good start. People need to hear that the MAGA celebration of Virginians losing their jobs and homes shows a carelessness and lack of empathy that will be absent in your administration. Government must work for the people - not against them.
PhD from Northern Illinois. US News rank #123 in Economics. Only the best for the USA.
This would make a good computer wallpaper.
Major red flag that he has the Bismarck behind him. Good chance he is a closet Nazi.
Maxwell can leave the facility. Shout that from the rooftops.
Someone needs to tell Trump that the only thing that would distract the people from Epstein would be a decisive loss by Russia in Ukraine followed by the restoration of the pre-2014 borders.
This might be the only thing RFK is correct on. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
...and as long as you don't believe in climate change and are willing to say it's sunny in a rain storm, you too can become a Trump-approved meteorologist.
Proof that American exceptionalism is a farce.
This is the purest form of evil.
Check this place out on Street View. I've seen schools with better perimeter gating. It looks like Stanford U.
Hegseth leads the US military. Confederate traitors caused the death of 360k members of the US military, many of whom are buried at Arlington. How is this different from erecting a statue of Ho Chi Minh next to the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial?

Let me guess - The Russians would like to set up a high level diplomatic meeting to discuss Ukraine in 2-3 months and eventually they will send a bunch of low-level goons and everyone will walk away disappointed. Rinse and repeat.
countries will rush to develop it fearing that their rivals will do so first and use it against them. We are seeing this today with drones and AI (and probably covertly with bioweapons and other top secret programs). The alternative is to see the less ethical nation win. (2/2)
You do good work and I only post this from a place of age, experience, and well-meaning. Humans have not solved the critical fear-based conundrum of new tech. When any new tech is developed that gives a country a strategic warfighting advantage (nukes), (1/2)
…thus saving both the Japanese and Americans many more lives that would have been lost had the USA had to invade the Japanese mainland to end WWII. Tough times tough decisions.
This only with Bill Clinton's name unredacted and Obama's name written in via Sharpie.
His actions are perfectly sane if you first assume that 1) Russia has kompromat on him, 2) he engaged in years of shenanigans with Epstein, 3) he is guilty of sedition, mishandling of top secret material, and a myriad of other political felonies. Every decision then makes total sense.
If other nations figured it out and perfected it first, like Japan in high speed rail and healthcare in France, you can rest assured that it will never be adopted in the USA.
Mike Johnson would put the House on recess indefinitely to avoid this.
Israel's disastrous Gaza decisions are just giving MTG an opening to flex her natural antisemitism. Don't think for a second that she cares about Palestinians.
Apply this at scale. Who is going to buy all their products when AI replaces everyone?
Who are the powerful people on the left? Not many people care if Bill Clinton goes to jail over it, especially if Trump goes with him. Trump is the main reason it hasn't been released, but don't be surprised if the State Department has been intervening to protect a key foreign dignitary.
Reminds me of Warhol.
Hell no I'm not Trumpian. Big oil plays both sides. They know it is real and still lobby against climate change info because they fear a class action that would make the tobacco or opioid settlements look quaint. The Saudis have employed American lobbying firms for years.
Somewhere in DC there is an army of big-oil lobbyists having the time of their lives.
Trump is definitely violating the law, but what would other democracies care? None of the European democracies grant citizenship to children if both parents are non-citizens without legal status. Many don't even allow legal residents' children citizenship.
The Heritage Foundation literally had a sign-up list for prospective executive branch sycophants.
The real question is "What moron approved the building permits?"
El Salvador has a deal to protect MS-13 in exchange for reduced violence. As part of the prison deal, Trump agrees to send high-level MS-13 members prisoners in the USA home to EL Salvador. Trump's admin therefore has assisted MS-13. Notice he doesn't mention them anymore?
Read the letters. The grammar alone is a stain on America.
Good point. Don't overlook a darker option as well - that ICE isn't downsized but is repurposed by having their mission expanded to other groups.
Why aren't people pointing out that the Justice Department used the TX flooding tragedy to time their Epstein announcement? They used the deaths of Texas children to shield rich pedophiles.
I am mortified by the "for to" error. Please disregard "for."
The Justice Department clearly waited for a crisis before releasing the memo on Epstein in the hope that it would be drowned out in the noise. They used the deaths of children for to shield pedophiles.
JFC. The POTUS writes like this and my 22-yr old literal genius daughter from a top university can't find a job. The asteroid can't come soon enough.
1) He has been not only a major drag on auto sales, but his design choices (Cybertruck) have been poor. 2) Tesla's other industries (solar/taxis/Optimus) are already in motion and he's a drag on lobbying/anti-regulatory efforts. 3) He would retain his stock, so torching it would be self-destructive.
The Tesla board is failing its fiduciary duty by not firing Musk.
This massive ICE investment is about more than illegals. It creates an army of agents who only exist to disappear people. When they no longer can easily find immigrants they will be repurposed to go after Trump's political enemies. They will be become the American Gestapo.
She already did. She works at the Perimeter Institute.
I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it.
Jefferies has been ineffective so far and I am not hopeful of Dems flipping any Republicans. The Dems need to shadow fund efforts to get the old Tea Party fiscal conservatives stirred up over the deficit to the extent that they threaten their representatives with primary challenges.
Once masked men have disappeared millions and there are no longer many illegals to deport and dozens of new detention camps with open beds do you think they are just going to downsize and go away? It won't be a leap for them to start going after political enemies.
The amount appropriated to immigration enforcement and detention ($175B) is more than the combined defense budgets of France and Germany in 2024. They are building an army and a system of detention camps. This isn't going to end well.
We should have had eyes (both literal and figurative) and tracking on all vehicles coming and going from the facility. If we didn't, then why am I paying for all this defense spending when I could have had national healthcare instead?
Does the Senate trust the intelligence on Iranian bomb progress that comes from Gabbard or Netanyahu?
Does anyone else wonder if the poles are full of Russian listening devices and antennas?
How can black soldiers serve at a post named after a man who is known to have ordered the rubbing of salt into the open whip wounds of recaptured escaped slaves?
In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison. But a new ProPublica investigation found there’s more to the story. 🧵👇
