@JoeBiden That’s too low a bar.

Every atrocity rubbed in Democracy’s face is a win for Putin and a loss for free societies worldwide.

Putin must be crushed. Decisively. And as quickly as humanly possible.

Otherwise, he’s winning, and we’re losing. Even if it doesn’t look like that yet.

What most Russia watchers suspected. Rosenstein’s appointment of Mueller killed the counterintelligence investigation examining whether Trump’s relationship with Russia constituted a national security threat. https://t.co/HhnBd122kx

Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill.

“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

For the first time in its history, Russia cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea. It is now preparing to deploy an additional North Korean contingent on its territory. It has also received additional ballistic missiles from North Korea. Everyone around the world must understand what this means.

This is not only about the lives of people in Ukraine, and not only about the threats we face. North Korea’s ballistic missiles and other weapons are being improved through its collaboration with Russia. The more North Korean strikes there are here in Ukraine, in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they correct their shortcomings and blind spots, the greater the danger will later be for Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and other countries in the region.

That is why, when we speak about the need for joint action, for coordination and mutual support, when we speak about the need to help us strengthen our air defense, we are also, in fact, speaking about taking away North Korea’s appetite and any interest in coming here – to our land and into our skies – with its weapons in order to learn how to wage war. Everyone across the globe who respects human life must stand together in taking action to protect people.

From the evening address.

At what point will we admit that Putin is at war with NATO? Frankly it’s embarrassing and it’s way past time for strategic retaliation.

The belief in a non-existent "censorship industrial complex" now shapes American foreign policy.

A brilliant deep dive from the MIT Technology Review explains how this happened

With Kash teaming up with the FSB and China's security services, you can expect this same kind of abuse to come to the US via the FBI, sooner than later.

Trump is not only not supporting Ukraine, he ultimately can’t and won’t, thanks to the war in Iran. Europe is effectively fighting Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, and it’s not sustainable, even given Ukraine’s incredible will and innovations.

Like other authoritarians before him, Trump has retreated, irrevocably, behind the walls of his own Forbidden City of the mind—a place where he is the emperor, his judgment is always right, and his commands must always be obeyed https://t.co/Tk0nJ6G0kC

A group affiliated with Russia's intelligence agency launched a disinformation campaign against center-left MEP and likely presidential candidate in next year's French election, Raphaël Glucksmann, he claimed in a post on X today.

After yet another Russian mass killing of Ukrainian civilians, it is simply unbelievable to read stories like this.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Vance, Weidel and many others posted inaccurate, fear-mongering messages about the migrant crisis in Ceuta. They still haven't retracted them.

The idea that Trump now respects Ukraine because they are now “winning” and Trump “sides with winners” is peak Washington groupthink, and everyone repeating it should be shamed. Trump is aligned with Putin and always will be. Work around him.

As I told everyone months ago, Massie is a Russia shill. And he, MTG, Khanna are going to mount a left-right antiwar challenge to MAGA and aligned with Putin.

@JohnOBrennan2 @IlvesToomas She may have played the part of a reasonable pro-Europe leader, but her actions here are in line with Putin’s goals.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

The Kremlin nurtures “antiwar” voices (on both the right and left) in the West while persecuting them domestically. See how that works? It’s only “war” when it’s not Putin doing it.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I will instruct our intelligence to share with our partners the information we have regarding Russia’s new assistance to the Iranian regime. Since the beginning of July, we have recorded active Russian satellite surveillance of the Gulf states and U.S. military facilities located there. These images subsequently appear in Iran. At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russia’s satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes – both before the attacks, in preparation for them, and afterward, to assess the damage inflicted.

On July 19 and 20 alone, four air bases fell within the area of interest of Russian satellites – two in Bahrain, one in Jordan, and one in Kuwait. The purpose is clear. None of us in the world should turn a blind eye to one very simple fact: evil always seeks ways to make things worse and spread further. Russia must be stopped. This war must be stopped. Pressure on the aggressor must work.

From the evening address. (3/3)

This presumes that “jail” is worse than living in this simulacrum of a democracy. People of principle can’t be intimidated so easily.
