🙄 Nobody believes this crap anymore. It’s all been a sham, especially after Anchorage. Trump and Putin are on the same side, against Ukraine and the free world, seeking personal advantages only, and that’s all they ever talk about.

[Charlie Warzel @cwarzel]

Every Trump debacle follows the same 13 steps. The reflecting pool fiasco is just one of the lower stakes versions of it.
1. Devise unnecessary spectacle
2. Disregard expertise
3. Bypass normal procedures
4. Declare victory too early (bonus if done by AI-slop post)
5. Spend way more than estimated
6. Ignore the haters
7. Realize it is not going well
8. Bypass normal procedures once again
9. Allege conspiracy and sabotage
10. Redeclare victory
11. More blaming
12. Losing interest
13. Pretend it never happened, and move on to the next thing

@PWFFLeague This shit tuff💪

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Britain is building long-range missiles for Ukraine without U.S. components.

Washington has repeatedly delayed or limited the use of ATACMS and Storm Shadow for strikes inside Russia.

Ukraine gets weapons no one in Washington can veto — FT. 1/

8D Chess

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

I can explain it (partly). Many of my fellow Americans have a deep respect for authoritarian Russia and a corresponding disdain for Ukraine, which wants to join the democratic West. I know such people. They are, if you will, American in name only.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Met with Moldovan civil society leaders fighting Russian disinformation and defending democracy. They're doing this tough work with shrinking resources after U.S. funding ran out. This is exactly where American leadership matters and withdrawing now is a mistake.

LANDRY SHAMET DESERVES A STATUE

[David French @DavidAFrench]

"Under President Trump and @SecWar Hegseth, meritocracy reigns supreme at the War Department."

This is a self-refuting sentence. There is no world in which a meritocracy yields Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

[Gregg Carlstrom @glcarlstrom]

We are so far into "mad king" territory that the White House may not even bother to clarify whether Trump just confused Oman with Iran or is indeed threatening to bomb Oman

JCPOA supporters

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

@SoothingDave Which of Trump’s signatures is most "conservative"? Exploding the deficit, attacking Iran, enriching himself and his family, attacking press freedoms, or taking government stakes in private companies?

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works.

Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this."

That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door.

Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply.

Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

MAHA!

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

The most self-evident thing in the world is that the President is committing massive fraud against the American taxpayer so he sent his VP out on a “Stop Fraud” tour as a kind of narrative jujitsu—because he thinks his voters are too stupid and partisan to notice.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

He’s right. The Republican Party isn’t a party of ideas. Or policy. It doesn’t stand for anything. It’s just a bunch of people being blindly loyal to corrupt madman who controls the primary voting base, but is unpopular with the rest of the country.

@JFreshHockey Need an Emil Heineman update

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Trump is criticized for his inconsistency in nearly everything, flip-flopping sentence to sentence even about a war he started. But on one thing he is incredibly consistent: never criticizing Vladimir Putin and promoting Russian interests.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Housing is for people, not hedge funds. We need to make it easier for families to afford homes, and if Donald Trump is serious about making that happen, then it's time to prove it. We already drafted the bill. Let's get it done.
