Me after donating $15 to Ukraine and seeing Moscow on fire the next morning.

Moscow's instantly-iconic exploding fuel storage tank is resulting in a flood of memes. I'll add a selection below...

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

Only one lesson in this case

[Ryan O'Leary @RyanO_ChosenCoy]

Це абсолютно жахлива ідея. Не можна ставитися до армії як до технологічної компанії з практикою переманювання кадрів (headhunting). Це матиме негативні наслідки.

Заради Бога, будь ласка.

Давайте сядемо й обговоримо правильний шлях уперед для збільшення не лише набору іноземців, а й їх утримання в лавах ЗСУ (що набагато важливіше за сам ре��рутинг).

Невже хоч раз ви не можете прислухатися до іноземців, які справді «пройшли через це і знають, про що говорять»? Я воюю ще з часів оборони Києва. Я командував понад 70 іноземцями з 36 різних країн під час бойових операцій, і є й інші люди з подібним досвідом.

🧵Issuing sanctions waivers immediately on signing an agreement--per Alex's excellent reporting--could be a violation of the law requiring Congressional review of a nuclear agreement with Iran.

Let me explain... (1/n)

The speed at which the US military has become stupid under Trump and Hegseth is breathtaking.

[LoLNothingMatters @DastDn]

Interesting choice by Vance by starting his pivot on all in, mask-off groyperism.

I suppose he figures the national zeitgeist has ripened for it.

[Andrew Desiderio @AndrewDesiderio]

WOW — Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) takes a major whack at Trump’s Iran MOU

Wicker says the $300B fund “would make Iran’s payoff under President Obama’s 2015 deal look like a pittance by comparison”

He literally signed the surrender at Versailles like the Germans after they lost a war???

You can usually count on Trump to at least be clever about staging.

Trump on the President of Egypt:

"He was in a hotel and I met him. And we fell in love, deeply in love."

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Pro-Israel groups deliberately turned Israel into a polarized issue and alienated almost the whole Democratic Party for the sake of a war that turned out to be as disastrous as Obama warned them and is going to end up with a deal that’s worse for them than JCPOA was.
