Atlanta's airport continues to be the model for success with long concourses with an underground train connecting them.

New show is live with my favorite “Democrat” Whitney Tilson who is all action supporting Ukraine.

Nobody does challenge coins like Trump! Glad the meeting went so well for all. To achieve peace we need a unified team.

[Pavlo Palisa @PavloPalisa]

Leaving the Oval Office with not only the biggest coin in my collection, but also a strong sense of optimism after the meeting between Presidents @ZelenskyyUa and @realDonaldTrump .

Scuta premite!
Nunquam retrorsum!

What does a trip to Ukraine reveal that headlines often miss?

In this episode of The Peace & Power Podcast host @Garymarx Talks with @MooreIAm with @loomerunleashed, about firsthand observations from Ukraine and what they could mean for the future of the conflict and U.S. policy.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Trump has come to admire Ukraine’s drone industry, especially its ability to defend against the same drones the U.S. faces in the Iran war, according to people who've spoken to him. The president likes winners—and Zelensky is increasingly looking like one. https://t.co/d0zunQTCsf

Despite its many groundbreaking victories for originalism and textualism, the Supreme Court’s term closed with a barrage of vitriol from some conservatives aimed at Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Frustration over Trump v. Barbara is understandable — I’m frustrated too — but it’s hardly a constitutional error on the order of Roe v. Wade. We should credit the originalist majority for its good-faith effort to apply originalism and textualism in admittedly difficult cases.

Nothing is gained (except perhaps clicks) by indulging doomerism over reality: by any objective metric this is one of the greatest Courts in American history, and Justice Barrett is an instrumental part of it.

More on Justice Barrett’s record in my latest for the @realDailyWire 👇🏻

The latest version of the bipartisan Obernolte–Trahan framework, FRONTIER Act, is a serious step forward. It's one of the strongest efforts yet to establish a federal AI framework that protects Americans while preserving America's leadership in AI. The focus is on targeted transparency and accountability for the most capable frontier models, calibrated to real risks rather than sweeping mandates. 🧵

[Gary A. Marx @Garymarx]

@BenMaracek16 @PeaceAndPower_ @MooreIAm Yes you are so right. Thank you for that correction. My mental recall failed me on that one.

[Gary A. Marx @Garymarx]

Long overdue. Ukraine’s combat-tested drone tech is light-years ahead, and bringing it to the U.S. for joint testing and development is a massive win for both American and Ukrainian defense readiness.

[Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc]

SCOOP: Ukraine has secured a major deal with Pentagon to allow export of Ukrainian drones for military testing in the U.S, two sources confirm to @RFERL

“The deal has been sealed,” one official tells me.

“It’s been signed by both sides” another source confirms

80% of the amicus briefs filed by the American Bar Association in the past decade advocated for liberal outcomes.

ABA President Behnke can pretend it is a neutral professional body, but the briefs in SFFA v. Harvard and United States v. Skrmetti, amongst others, speak for themselves.

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

It takes courage and humility to not only admit you were wrong, but to do something to about it. @lauraloomer went into a war zone to see the truth about Putin’s crimes in Ukraine with her own eyes. She deserves enormous credit.

[Gary A. Marx @Garymarx]

Odessa stands as a powerful symbol of defiance. As Ukraine's key Black Sea port city, its history, vibrant culture, and economic weight make it central to Ukraine’s survival and resilience. Despite relentless pressure, Odessa's spirit remains unbroken.

President Trump deserves praise for his recent support of the sanctions bill on Russia that the late @LindseyGrahamSC spearheaded.

“Barrett agreed with Justice Thomas in 88% of cases this term” is quite a stat, given some of the current Discourse. It’s fine to be disappointed in a few of her decisions, but the (very online) negative narrative is getting insane. Receipts:

[Carrie Severino @JCNSeverino]

Sad that this slop with no source passes as “data.”

What in the world is a “conservative position” in @LoneStarLegendX’s mind? We don’t know because he doesn’t tell us. He also fails to mention that Justice Barrett agreed with Justice Thomas in 88% of cases this term.

Let’s look at some of the most important non-unanimous cases decided by the Court after Dobbs/OT 2021. A bar graph stating a range of 59% to 50% conservative positions is just ludicrous. Get out of here.

Ukraine is writing the manual every military on earth will read for the next twenty years.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ukraine has done something no army has done before. A naval drone carried a combat robot to an occupied shoreline on the Kinburn Spit and put it on the beach. The machine – armed with a machine gun – went to work against russian positions, run remotely by operators of the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade. No one had to swim to that beach. No one had to die on it.

Ground robots are not new. Naval drones are not new. What is new is the chain: an unmanned boat delivering an armed unmanned vehicle onto a defended shore and conducting an assault, with human beings nowhere near the fire.

The Kinburn Spit is a sandbar. No cover, no easy resupply. The kind of place where a landing means paying in blood before you have accomplished anything at all. And Ukraine’s scarcest resource has never been courage or ammunition. It has been people.

That is the point. Russia’s whole theory of victory rests on one arithmetic – that it can spend lives faster than Ukraine can. Every technology that substitutes machines for men attacks that assumption directly. The drone did it in the air. The naval drone did it at sea. Now it has come ashore.

Innovation under pressure is not a luxury. It is the only thing a smaller nation has. Ukraine built this because it had neither resources nor time – and necessity is the most honest engineer there is.
Everyone will copy it. Ukraine is not only fighting a war. It is writing the manual every military on earth will read for the next twenty years.

[Carrie Severino @JCNSeverino]

Justice Elena Kagan’s inconsistent recusal history undermines confidence in the impartiality of the Supreme Court.

Her latest failure to recuse herself comes after she wrote the introduction to the National Academies’ reference manual, effectively giving a judicial endorsement to its biased climate science chapter, which was written with the cooperation of climate lawfare litigators.

Justice Kagan’s participation in the Suncor case is indefensible given her public endorsement of climate lawfare plaintiffs’ theories.

If Justice Kagan will not take it upon herself to follow the law, the Senate Judiciary Committee must step in.

Ukraine’s drone campaign just shattered records, striking Russia’s massive Omsk oil refinery in Siberia.
​Omsk handles 10% of Russia's refining capacity B/c Siberia was thought to be out of reach. Moscow is now forced to stretch its defenses thin. https://t.co/pirnEXoRSB
