Not THAT Karen

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, on the 1,000 day of the war, I addressed the Ukrainian Parliament and emphasized, that we do not trade our sovereignty, security, or future. Ukraine will not abandon its rights to its territory, nor will we allow our nation to be exploited in anyone’s political battles.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Although Ukraine cannot fully finance itself during wartime, we have guaranteed complete financial support for this year and the next. There are no financial risks to the Defense and Security Forces, regardless of global political turbulence.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

When our illustrious mainstream media characterizes the Senate's review of Trump's lunatic nominations as a "loyalty test," they need to also include the fact that these Senators already HAVE pledged loyalty - as all American elected officials have - TO THE CONSTITUTION!

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

feels appropriate that a department of government efficiency would have two heads

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Trump keeps saying he’s “appointed” people or that they “will serve” as cabinet level officials.

WRONG — the Constitution REQUIRES approval from the Senate — but Project 2025 pushes for President to seize control and bypass the Senate.

Do NOT let them get away with this.

[David Burbach (also @dburbach Bluesky) @dburbach]

It will be the ultimate test of Trump loyalty if Rogers, Tuberville, and Britt go along with this. In an earlier era, maybe even Trump 1, Shelby would have put a hold on every nomination in sight until the WH backed down

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

>> @davidfrum: "Do not disengage. Do not engage in acrimony. Do not start finger-pointing. There's an emergency about to break over American institutions and you have to focus there."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Mike Johnson claims there was no serious fraud in the 2024 election.

Funny how that works.

[Alex Finley @alexzfinley]

This right here. Putin will test NATO. The Baltics, Sweden, Finns et al. will fight. Trump will not. And that will be the end of the alliance, a main goal of Putin’s.

[I Smoked The Midterms @BlackKnight10k]

Breaking: Trump has announced that he's appointing Tom Homan as his border Czar.

For all of you Latinos for Trump that were worried that you'd be separated from your families, fear not. He says you will deported too.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

His first post-election attempt to weaken democracy and its check-and-balances.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Republicans are going to have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and yet here’s Trump urging the Senate to go into recess so that he can bypass it altogether.

In other words, he wants to install folks who couldn’t even get through *that* Senate.

It’s going to be a long four years.

my cousin Sharifa is featured in this article. pretty much my entire family is still in gaza trying to survive.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

A remarkable photograph capturing the first two minutes of silence in London, exactly 105 years ago.

In those moments, the immense burden of personal grief and mourning would have been amplified beyond comprehension.

Gosh I hope not, but we recently had our first case of paralytic polio in an unvaccinated young man in NY + polio detected in the wastewater. We have to explain to the American people how fragile our nation’s vaccine ecosystem is, placing bad actors in charge is not the way to go

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

The President of the United States works for the people of the United States, not the other way around.

He is NOT a king.
He is accountable to US.
And the Constitution.

You can take your Project 2025 "loyalty only to trump" bullshit and shove it all the way up your ass.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Of course Republicans don’t cut their family off “over politics.” Like any bully they need someone to bully. Those who drink tears stay thirsty, and always need a fresh supply. Dominance is no fun without the distress of someone you say you love.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Expansions of school voucher programs, despite backing from wealthy conservatives, have never won with voters. Instead, they lose by margins not often seen in such a polarized country.

No one in the US pantheon of good journalists does it better.

In the decades I've read Kristof, his laser eye for the nuances, the shades of opinions & command of the facts he sees clearly has always been exemplary.

This NYT article is no exception.
Read it. Read it all:
