End of fighting good. Opening oil flow thru Straits good. Devastation of Iranian conventional forces good. No deal except to make a deal. $24 billion to Iran next 60 days. No Iran nuke constraints. No constraints on Hezbollah. A strategic disaster.
KALLAS: Moscow has no intention to end the war. Overnight Russian attacks killed civilians in Ukraine and damaged Kyiv's historical cathedral.
This direct assault on Ukraine’s 1,000-year-old heritage also exposed absurdity of Russia’s claims to be the defender of Christianity.
Every fucking day the pedophile führer proves he is nothing but banana republic dictator wannabe who dreams of turning America into 1938 Nazi Germany.
The only thing keeping Trump from arresting Gavin Newsom and his wife is the U.S. constitution. The loathsome piece of shit is a straight up evil as fuck psychopath.
I'll say it again, acting-Attorney General Todd Blanche is going to end up disbarred, indicted, and sentenced to prison.
Trump believes he has the power to weaponize the U.S. Postal Service to restrict voting. Marc Elias and his law firm are already challenging that notion in court.
“[The Trump administration has] come up with a scheme that is so unbelievably unconstitutional and authoritarian.”
The question inside Trump's White House wasn't whether suspending habeas corpus was a good idea. It was how much the administration could get away with before the courts stopped them.
That's a warning worth paying attention to.

Thank you @jacobsoboroff for inviting us to be guests on your inaugural weekend of @connectmsnow
When the leaked tapes from the situation room revealed Stephen Miller was trying to get rid of habeas corpus, I took the liberty of editing my interview.
They’re already getting rid of habeas corpus and due process in the 26 Federal Plaza detentions, once they’re sent to another state. The only chance these folks have is filing a writ. But so many don’t have lawyers and don’t know about it. Volunteers at the court are trying their best to file immediately.
Another thing I learned in the months I filmed there. Anyone who is in the United States has the constitutional right to due process, if they are a citizen or not!
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass der Westen einen solchen Vernichtungskrieg gegen ein europäisches Land zulassen würde. Man will sich weiter „nicht hineinziehen lassen“. Komme, was wolle. Und diese Selbstlähmung ermutigt Putin zu mehr und mehr Aggression.
There are patriots within the fascist authoritarian Trump regime who are determined to save America from a MADMAN. Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman's book is so accurate, the Trump regime believes Swan and Haberman have recordings — and the psychopath president is freaking out.
KALLAS: Increasing the pressure also means isolating Russia internationally, as Russia bombs cathedrals.
Europe should not roll out red carpet for Russian artists and athletes who support Kremlin's war. Culture and sport should not be tools to whitewash aggression.
We offered Putin to meet anywhere where real decisions to end the war could be made. He does not want it.
We discussed with the U.S. and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia around the G7, with all democratic nations represented. Putin does not want it.
Yesterday, we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the U.S. – in a format where Putin would find it much harder to refuse at least to President Trump.
We will see what comes of it. If Russia refuses this chance as well, additional pressure will be needed.
From an intervention at the EU Intergovernmental Conference. (3/3)
Jessica Tarlov pointed out the shortcomings of the deal with Iran. As she got to the part that includes $300 billion for Iran her co-host yelled over her. The $1.7 billion given to Iran during the Obama admin was from frozen Iranian assets held in interest bearing accounts.
It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million.
Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
Elon Musk, on his first day at DOGE, found the specific programs that would result in the most Black and brown people dying and immediately cut them.
By 2030, there will be an estimated 15 million dead because of him, more than half children.
Elon Musk is a Nazi mass murderer.
BREAKING: In a SCATHING statement, Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton just called out Donald Trump's War In Iran for what it is: a complete and utter FAILURE.
Henry Ford was generally a racist and a bad person, but he understood something our current broligarchs have completely forgotten.
He said: I have to pay my workers enough to afford the products they’re building.
Give them a house, decent schools, reasonable healthcare.
If I do that, they’re not descending on my Dearborn mansion with pitchforks while I eat my caviar.
We’ve lost that plot entirely.
We have broligarchs who want to be trillionaires and they’re missing the lesson that a deeply flawed man figured out a hundred years ago.
Capitalism works, but only if people believe the game is worth playing.
Right now they don’t and history is very clear about what comes next.
A grown white man stood on the grounds of the White House, with a microphone in his hand, and the best thing he could think to do was repeat a tired, racist conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama. Nothing remotely intelligent, just the same old garbage that has circulated among racist corners of the internet for years.
Imagine winning a fight and then immediately reminding the world that you have the intellectual depth of a puddle. Josh Hokit didn’t expose Michelle Obama. He exposed himself.
Michelle Obama is a Princeton graduate. A Harvard Law graduate. An attorney. A bestselling author. A former First Lady of the United States. One of the most admired women in the world. Her accomplishments will be remembered long after people forget the name of the fighter who decided to embarrass himself for applause.
What makes this even worse is that it happened at the White House, and when given the opportunity to condemn it, the Trump White House refused. That tells you everything you need to know. This is the same political culture that has repeatedly tolerated racist attacks on the Obamas, trafficked in dehumanizing imagery, and winked at the worst instincts of its supporters. The silence was not an oversight. It was a statement.
Notice how quickly maganuts rush to defend Melaria Trump whenever anyone says anything remotely critical about her. They demand civility and want respect for the office of First Lady. But when Michelle Obama is targeted with racist, sexist, and dehumanizing lies, they become strangely silent. Their outrage is selective. Their principles are conditional. Their hypocrisy is obvious.
Michelle Obama does not need validation from Josh Hokit, Donald Trump, or anyone else occupying the comment section of American politics. She has already established who she is through her character, intellect, accomplishments, grace, and service. The truth is that Michelle Obama represents everything that terrifies certain people: a brilliant Black woman who cannot be diminished, intimidated, or erased.
Michelle Obama is a beautiful Black woman. She is an accomplished Black woman. she is a brilliant Black woman. She is a respected Black woman. And every racist fool who thinks otherwise can go straight to hades.
History will remember Michelle Obama. History will remember Barack Obama. History will remember the progress they represented. As for the people who spend their time recycling racist conspiracy theories posting memes, depicting them as animals, history has a place for them too. It just isn’t where they think it is.
