In collaboration with @munkschool, I am sharing a ten-lecture course I taught at @UofT this past year. The course is called “Hitler and Stalin Today.”
Watch the first lecture here: https://t.co/ry7GSIspXv

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKYY: For the first time, Americans reacted positively to giving us licenses to produce Patriot missiles. American production is 700 Patriot missiles a year.

Americans recently granted licenses to Germans. We signed contract with Germans to produce 600 missiles for Ukraine.

What Ukraine ultimately wants, and what everyone agrees on, is that in addition to Germans in Europe, we now have all technical capabilities in Ukraine to start producing missiles for Patriot systems ourselves.

For this, we need licenses from United States. I know entire leadership of these European and American companies that are currently responsible for Patriot system production.

We have reached the point where the only approval we still need is from Trump personally, everyone else agrees.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

SIKORSKI: I'd like to point out the difference in the targets that the two sides select. Russians hit an 11th-century monastery in Kyiv. And remember, in the 11th century, Moscow was still a forest. Ukrainians hit an oil refinery in Moscow, which is a legitimate military target.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Governor Tim Walz:

"Today's ruling is a victory for the rule of law and our democracy. A federal district judge found that the U.S. Department of Justice’s investigation into me and other Minnesota elected officials was politically motivated, unconstitutional, and meritless.I am proud to have joined Minnesotans in exercising our fundamental American freedoms - of speech, assembly, to disagree with our government.

These rights are enshrined in our Constitution. And, they are what makes America great. An independent judiciary is a pillar of our democracy. It’s one reason why the U.S. has been that shining city on the hill for nearly 250 years.The U.S. Justice Department is pursuing criminal investigations into the President’s political opponents. This case was just one example of that, but we are seeing daily reminders of this administration’s lawlessness - in Minnesota and around the country.

We all must continue to seek justice and uphold the rule of law.I will never stop exercising my constitutional rights to stand up for Minnesotans and the American freedoms that we hold dear."

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

Commits insider trading, refuses a $100 million penalty, gets immunity from future tax fraud, now Fyre Fest 250.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

When this war is over, and Ukraine is victorious and whole again, and every innocent victim, every fallen defender, every destroyed city and town is documented, let no one say they did not know. These Russian crimes against humanity are happening in full view in real time.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

Most people completely underestimate the insane, inhumane scale of the war in Ukraine.

According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the siege of Mariupol alone saw between 27,000 and 88,000 deaths in only three (3!) months.

Read that again and let it sink in

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

If we give the Ukrainians Patriots and sanction Russian energy the war is over. In other words, US policy at present is to keep the war going.

This is extraordinary. I've been a professional investor for decades and I haven't made this many trades in my career.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

You won’t hear this on Fox News:

California just released a balanced budget that wipes out the deficit this year AND next — while protecting health care and safety nets.

Meanwhile, Trump ADDED $2.4 TRILLION to the federal deficit with his “Big Beautiful Betrayal.”

Republicans ruin budgets.
Democrats balance them.

Adulting matters.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Democrats NEED to be talking more about the GUTTING of the Voting Rights Act.

MAGA is silencing voters and carving up Black districts all across the South to hold onto power.

This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is NOT an option.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

APPLEBAUM: United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else.

President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world.

Democracy is no longer at center of United States foreign policy or American identity.

President and his administration attempted to strip funding from USAID or Radio Free Europe, American institutions that once promoted democracy around the world.

Trump verbally attacked Canada, European Union, America's Asian partners, placing inexplicably high tariffs on their goods.

Trump shouted at Ukrainian president in Oval Office, threatened to annex Greenland by force, claimed that EU was created to "screw US," and echoed Putin in calling NATO paper tiger.

Trump negotiated with Russia not to bring just peace to Ukraine or security to Europe, but also in order to help US businesses profit from lifting of Russian sanctions.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." If it is based on inside information used in violation of his fiduciary responsibilities, it is brazenly criminal conduct, and he would not be immune from prosecution for that criminal conduct even under the Supreme Court's 2024 decision in his favor in the Jan. 6 case.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

A reminder that Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid conflicts of interest.

Now we have a president openly buying and selling stocks and crypto while his family business keeps making business deals all over the world that directly profit him, and it’s all treated as normal.

Meanwhile, Republicans like James Comer and Jim Jordan are still obsessing over Hunter Biden’s paintings and Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Drain. The. Swamp

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Coons to Bessent: Your Treasury lifted sanctions on Russian oil, giving them an extra $150M a day in revenue.

Those funds are going not just to kill Ukrainians, but Russia's using its profits to support Iran with drones and intelligence to kill our troops.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Prince Harry:

When Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons, America was part of international assurances that Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders would be respected.

This is a moment for American leadership — moment for America to show it can honor its international treaty obligations.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The Trump family has made $4 billion off the presidency.

Crypto: $3.02B
Persian Gulf deals: $425.8M
Qatari jet: $150M
Legal fees/merch: $127.7M
Mar-a-Lago: $125M
Corporate deals: $91M
Hanoi hotel: $40M
Truth Social: $25M
Don Jr: $19.6M

Unprecedented kleptocracy.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Russia is mass murdering Ukrainian civilians every day. Putin is a wanted war criminal whose terrorist nation systematically kidnaps children by the thousands, tortures and rapes in occupied lands, and is now trying to hide mass graves. If Putin comes, America has fallen.
