We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect.

ZELENSKYY: Some say with modern technology we're returning Russia to the Middle Ages. Some remember Napoleon, when Moscow burned. But our main goal is not Russia without gasoline, but Ukraine without Russia, without war, with Europe, and Ukraine and Europe without Moscow threat.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

A reminder on the evolution of 2020 "stolen election" theories: First we had mail-in fraud + Dominion + "illegal law changes" (Nov–Dec 2020) then → Georgia election workers + foreign interference/Italygate (Dec 2020–Jan 2021, concurrent) then → 2,000 Mules (ballot stuffers) (2022) then → social-media-censorship revival via Twitter Files (Dec 2022) then → renewed foreign-interference claims (2024–present).

Through all this, we've had:

1. Dominion getting $787 million from Fox News for defamation

2. Rudy Giuliani admitting he lied about Georgia election workers (and the jury awarding the workers $148 million)

3. Sidney Powell admitting in court "no reasonable person would conclude" her claims of election fraud “were truly statements of fact"

4. The Gateway Pundit retracting claims of election fraud in Atlanta

5. The Media company that put out D'Souza's 2,000 Mules film apologizing and removing it after law enforcement proved it falsely accused people of fraud

6. Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) settling with Smartmatic

It is NOT true that none of these allegations have seen a court room. Most have. Of the 64 cases of fraud that Trump and his legal team filed in court, 30 were dismissed that included a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his allies before a hearing, and just 20 were dismissed for lack of standing before a hearing on the merits. One case, involving far too few votes to impact the election, prevailed in Pennsylvania. That case was about voter ID deadlines, not election fraud.

Those are the facts.

Whatever happens Thursday night, please try to remember them.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check.

A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is…

And they refused.

Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle.

Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest.

U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle.

And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution.

Which should terrify every American.

Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared.

Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was.

This cannot become normal.

Trump isn't going to be around forever. But the history books will remember how certain individuals sacrificed their dignity to do this weird hero worship. Not sure how anyone thinks it's worth it.

@JoyceWhiteVance Well that's encouraging 😬

Another "unprecedented" moment in the Trump 2.0 era

A US Attorney General nominee has taken the oath for confirmation hearings at the Senate, 36 hours after a judge referred that nominee to the New York bar for disciplinary review

@Acyn ...When the answer is fine but isn't true peak 😌

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Adorable. The Department of War explaining that access to American weapons is "a privilege, not a right" is rather like a landlord lecturing tenants about loyalty while the roof is on fire and the rent has tripled.

Let's review the privilege. Iran, a sanctioned economy running on drones and spite, just spent weeks exposing the flagship American arsenal as exquisite, eye-wateringly expensive, and built for a war that ended thirty years ago. Meanwhile the F-35, your crown jewel, requires a maintenance entourage of roughly a hundred people per aircraft, a spare parts pipeline with a mood disorder, and a software licence that can be switched off from Washington whenever the president wakes up cross. Ukraine keeps ageing jets flying from motorway strips with a fraction of that. Turns out the privilege was the overhead all along.

And the reliability argument. You cannot threaten to abandon NATO on Monday, tariff your allies on Tuesday, and then present a "strong demand signal" on Wednesday as if nobody kept notes. Europe is not buying less American kit because we're sulking. We're buying less because a weapons system with a political kill switch attached to a four-year mood swing is a subscription service.

You say no one can replicate the American defence industrial base. Quite right. Nobody wants to. Why would anyone copy a factory optimised for the last war? Ukraine has shown Europe what the future actually looks like: cheap, fast, and built next door. Short supply lines, fail fast, and weapons that adapt in weeks rather than decades. While you spend twenty years and two trillion dollars perfecting one aircraft, a workshop outside Kyiv redesigns a drone on Tuesday because the jamming changed on Monday.

The “middle powers strategy” isn’t a distraction, and it isn’t a strategy either. It’s just what happens when the shopkeeper starts insulting the customers, doubling the prices, and musing openly about annexing one of them. Yes, we noticed the Greenland thing. Allies tend to remember when you threaten to take their territory. It’s an odd sales technique, coveting the customer’s house while lecturing him about loyalty.

So do carry on explaining that our engagement with you is a privilege. We’ll be over here, building the cheap fast stuff that actually wins wars, and checking the till twice.

Lindsey Graham was constantly invited on TV to perform his weirdly extravagant enthusiasm for violence, but rarely if ever did any of his hosts point out that the militarist policies he advocated had a near 100% failure rate.

[Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc]

NEW! A bipartisan group of Senators have officially introduced the "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026," a major Russia sanctions and tariff bill.

Following Graham’s sudden death on Saturday, colleagues are rallying to pass the measure as a final tribute.

1/3

[Brian Rosenwald @brianros1]

ICE should be following all of the policies that every other police department in America follows for chases, for approaching people, for dealing with people in vehicles, etc.

[I Smoked Lindsey Graham @BlackKnight10k]

Suing because the President of the United States didn't honor your bribe. Incredible

@RichardHanania Lot of stupid men 🙄 Who cares who makes the money? A family is meant to contribute to each other's needs however they best are able. As long as both partners feel like they're putting in the same effort to live the life they want for themselves & as a couple it shouldn't matter!

🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.

[Lisa Rubin @lawofruby]

Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lead lawyer, gave this statement to MS NOW: “Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict.”

@Go_Birdgang @RepMaxwellFrost You gotta update the nonsense you spew on every post. Even in your imaginary nightmare city of Chicago crime & murder have been decreasing for years chief 🫡

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero.

- He was here legally.
- He was authorized to work.
- He had Social Security Number.
- He was NOT target of ICE investigation.
- DHS: He did NOT try to kill ICE agents.

He was executed in front of his 3 year old daughter.
