Trump panics about widespread revulsion at his Arch, so is trying to cloak it in national security to steamroll the normal approval process and Congress.

It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to do anything he wants.

@GenFlynn @realDonaldTrump Silence traitor. No one cares what a Russian shill says.
You're crying because Ukraine is defending itself. America is no longer involved with the war. You don't get to complain about Ukrainian strikes when you're silent when Russia hits Ukraine. Pathetic man.

[Sedge Dienst🇺🇦 @SedgeDienst]

@GenFlynn @realDonaldTrump I know it’s getting serious when the General starts talking about Marshall Law. To be fair, it was probably spelled that way in the talking points memo from the Kremlin.

Reminder to those who apparently don't know: the Kennedy Center was financially robust, with many private donors, before this administration undermined it, chased out the National Symphony, Washington Opera and others. Trump has forced it into bankruptcy out of sheer vanity.

Exxon is now expecting a 2.5 - 3C rise by 2050

But says f*ck you - we are just going to keep right on sucking up as much gas and oil as we can

Because even though we know what's coming, we really don't give a sh*t

"Russia is already at war with Europe. It may not look like the war in Ukraine yet, but what they're doing is reckless and very dangerous." - Gen. Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army Europe

Gen. Hodges noted that the Kremlin’s dangerous actions have so far gone without any real, meaningful response from Western countries. Russians are still able to move freely around Europe, while Russian assets remain in European banks.

"Russia is not feeling the consequences. At some point, they are going to go too far, and we're going to have something that kills people. We have to prevent that from ever happening," @general_ben said.

Poland’s Deputy PM Sikorski has said the Kremlin’s frozen assets in Europe “are never going back to Russia.”

Every European leader should be just as clear.

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Here's how many stock trades presidents have made:

Clinton: 0
GW Bush: 0
Obama: 0
Trump's first term: 517
Biden: 0
Trump's second term: 24,000+

Trump is the only President who has traded stocks while sitting in the Oval Office.

He's rigging the system in real time.

This 80-year-old STILL does not use email — his staff prints things for him to read — yet we are supposed to have faith that he alone can protect us from the escalating dangers of AI.

This is not a joke. Congress must act now.

So Vladimir Putin's rich buddy paid for Donald Trump Jr's wedding? Why isn't this a bigger story right now?

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
