As the hearing ends, Judge Reyes says she's heard from her mother & sister that CNN is reporting numerous death threats. Judge R says this is where we are - a federal judge is getting death threats over a golf course. "I don't think this is what the founders intended". Adjourned.

It's absolutely shocking.

"National security scholar Tom Nichols noted with evident disgust: “The American commander in chief has abandoned the Western order, the most successful—and powerful—security arrangement in human history.”

This decision, Nichols wrote, appears to have had nothing to do with the national interest of the United States. Instead, Trump appears to have thrown out the world order because of his own personal interests, his admiration for Putin, his resentment of Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky, “and quite possibly other factors that so far have remained obscured from the American public.”

The backlash appears to have pushed Trump to try to justify his gutting of the Graham Act, at least. He posted on social media: “My decision on Russia is a very simple one.”

He went on to claim that he didn’t want “to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table” in the quest for a peace deal with Ukraine.

He shrugged off Russia’s support for Iran in its war against the U.S. by suggesting it “is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way.”

And then he attacked Zelensky, blaming Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries rather than his own war on Iran for the high cost of diesel in the U.S. and claiming that Zelensky “doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did.”

Nichols tore through this screed, calling it a pathetic admission of Trump’s weakness “in his relationship with the Kremlin boss.”

“The leader of the most powerful nation on the planet,” Nichols pointed out, “is trying to get everyone else, including the American Congress, to avoid antagonizing Putin, instead of warning Putin not to even think about aiding Iran.”

Until now, Nichols wrote, “[a] world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was…the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies.”

Now that alliance exists. Nichols laments that Trump and Putin have fulfilled the dreams of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and the Cold War leaders who followed him, humbling and humiliating the mighty United States.

The Framers of the Constitution thought they had designed a system that would prevent the rise of a tyrant. They believed U.S. representatives would be so fearful of a leader’s abuse of power that they would impeach any president who overstepped his authority, and that U.S. senators would be so jealous of their own power they would convict, and tyranny would not be able to take root.

The Framers especially did not anticipate that senators, to whom they deliberately gave longer terms than they gave the president, would put party over country and stand aside as a president and his appointees captured the prerogatives of the Senate.

And yet, here we are.

But even given the evidence of the past ten years, it is truly astonishing to see Republicans, who for more than forty years have championed President Ronald Reagan for his stance against the Soviet Union, stand aside as Trump trashes the post–World War II system of global security in order to ally the United States with a Russian dictator."

If you’re seeing a lot of posts saying that Russia isn’t America’s enemy, that Putin wants peace, and that Zelensky’s a dictator who’s causing the high gas/diesel prices in the US, congrats; Elon’s algorithm has you pegged as a monumentally stupid and gullible fucking moron.

A brief review of recent technical “errors” at Meta:

1. Restricting the Facebook pages of Brazilian president Lula who is in a runoff election against a Trump-favored candidate

2. Shutting down the pages of Albanians protesting Jared Kushner’s plans to build a luxury resort in the country

3. Rejecting ads for a documentary critical of Elon Musk

4. Shutting down the No Kings instagram page in the middle of a major anti-Trump protest

Acton releases a response from her brother, which makes me think this will become even more of a backfire. Vivek has simultaneously elevated the horrific story of her upbringing, framed her as someone who's overcome unthinkable horror, and painted himself as a sleeze

[Outspoken™️ @Out5p0ken]

. — @VivekGRamaswamy, what kind of sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploits a woman’s rape at 12 years old to win an election? You gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize the worst trauma of her childhood.

There is something profoundly fucking wrong with you. And you have no business holding public office.

[Lee Fang @lhfang]

I like Vivek and think a lot of the smears against him are unfair. He is very intelligent and highlights real policy problems. But his latest ad exploiting the abusive mother of Amy Acton disgusts me. This woman was so horrible she lost custody of her at age 12.

Republicans are making it clear they will prioritize their donors’ tax cuts ahead of protecting the earned benefits of seniors and people with disabilities.

Democrats and Independents are making it extremely clear that they will absolutely protect benefits.

Vote accordingly.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

No checks on Trump blowing up NATO, flaunting the laws, attacking Canada, cozying up to Putin, undermining the economy, protecting billionaires. Anyone who thinks that Mike Rogers would stand in the way of any of this is at best naïve. Think long and hard about the balances here.

An agreement between the USA and Ukraine was signed on 12/5/1994. In exchange for them giving up their nukes, the USA, Russia and the UK guaranteed it's sovereignty, and borders, each promised to refrain from using force against their nation.

Trump has not honored the agreement.

Dr. Pan is a pediatrician and a public health advocate running to fight Trump and RFK Jr.’s attacks on health care and science. I’m proud to support him.

This is Donna Arthur.

Donna Arthur is Amy Acton’s mother.

Donna Arthur knew her husband was sexually abusing her daughter when she was 12 years old and stayed married to him.

Vivek Ramaswamy wants us to trust Amy Acton’s mother.

"If Vladimir Putin’s goal is to sow discontent in Europe, he must be rubbing his hands with delight."

Violence has gripped the streets of France in levels not seen for decades - as protests break out in other parts of Europe.

Is this exactly what Russia wants?
