@Daniel__Bach @EliasToufexis My personal line is that II/III/IV are a trilogy, release dates be darned

One advantage Trump has when concocting his stupid schemes is that his followers have no understanding at all of how things work. The money Trump is sending to veterans is not from tariff revenue - he's redirecting money Congress has already authorized for military housing assistance, but sending it out as checks to make himself look good.

Wisconsin's Ron Johnson has a history of spreading vaccine misinformation. Now he's giving credence to assertions about the therapeutic powers of chlorine dioxide, a disinfectant and deodorizer.

“It is all lunacy," one expert said.

Russia is taking Ukrainian children to camps in North Korea

Ukraine has accused Russia of transferring abducted Ukrainian children to “re-education camps.”

This was stated during a U.S. Senate hearing by lawyer and international-law expert Kateryna Rashevska.

Rashevska noted that the scheme has evolved: previously, children were kept within Russia and Belarus, but now there is emerging evidence that minors are being sent to North Korea — making their recovery and return far more difficult.

@DavidLeavitt Lower Decks is worth your time, numerous hilarious nods to Trek past, and telling a great Trek story around new characters. That looks like a different movie set from what was released earlier this year, but physical copies are always preferred

The recordings leaked to Bloomberg prove that Ukraine is under attack by the Russians on the military front and the American admin on the diplomatic front

But someone could no longer stand by and watch the Americans spew lies about the "28 point plan" so they leaked recordings of Trump's envoy Witkoff literally coaching the Russians on how to sell their wish list to Trump

So when Trump was pressuring Zelensky to accept the wish list by Thanksgiving or lose American support, he was forcing a Russian wish list, developed with the help of his own official

"The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month. Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines." https://t.co/OUTxk0QOp7

NEW: @propublica investigates the Chicago raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged;
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
