This coffee shop in Kyiv opened yesterday, then got hit by a russian air strike just hours later.

Today, they're still open and people in Kyiv are lining up to buy a coffee to support them, stepping over debris and broken glass on the way in.

FYI, the coffee is excellent 🇺🇦

Hunter Biden on Elon Musk:

“You’ve got some motherf-cker who’s made over $251 billion being a United States citizen, that got here and stayed here illegally before he got his citizenship, sitting here lecturing us on who we should allow into the US”

15 years ago today, Endeavour left the launch pad for the last time. I was training for what would be my last mission when Gabby was shot. Four months after that day, she was on a rooftop 3 miles away, watching me go to space for the last time.

I read something like this and I think: Some of us have been so focused on their authoritarianism and abuse of power and lawless that we’ve perhaps neglected to point out the additional fact that these are also just terrible humans—lacking class, grace, kindness or dignity.

Somebody, for the love of God, I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man how fucking dare you, do not talk to me that way”

David @SangerNYT is worth listening to here, for he's eloquent in noting that not only is reporting not treason, but the accusation from Trump to the contrary is an effort to intimidate the press so that we don't do our job. Honored to have him as a @nytimes colleague.

Change is coming, it never happens overnight, the wheels of trade and security move slowly, but the decision has been made and Canada has decided that the future lies in an alliance with Europe. Carney does not fear Trump, because he can see the geopolitical direction of travel.

Trump can huff and puff and threaten to blow the house down, but the US through his catastrophic foreign policy agenda is bleeding out from a series of self inflicted wounds.

Once you have to provide currency swap lines for Gulf states, you know you have a dollar problem on the horizon. U.S. debt is out of control and foreign investors are in flight.

Tick tock, tick tock

Canada and France are the closest of friends — bound by shared history, values, and language.

@EmmanuelMacron and I are looking at new ways to create more opportunities for trade between our nations, and create more prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. John Garamendi OBLITERATES Pete Hegseth and calls him a liar right to his face:

“You have been lying to the American public about this war from day one.”

His entire remarks are 🔥

“This war of choice is a political and economic disaster at every level.

…the strategy has been an outstanding example of INCOMPETENCE.

…Despite the President's promise to lower the cost of living, gas prices are up 40% and inflation is soaring. So much for lowering the cost of living.

The President has got himself and America stuck in the quagmire of another war in the Middle East.

He's desperately trying to extricate himself from his own mistakes.”

THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE! DAMN!!!

[Amy Aiello Lofgren @azsweetheart013]

He’s being praised because he showed up and made a fool of the president of the United States and the republican Congress. And it was delicious.

[Kayakestable @kayakestable]

Los libros de historia pasaron por alto discretamente el hecho de que Barack Obama, durante las noches más saturadas de presión de su presidencia, se retiraba solo a la Sala de Tratados en el segundo piso de la residencia de la Casa Blanca —no para trazar estrategias, no para tomar llamadas, sino para escribir a mano cartas personales a diez ciudadanos estadounidenses comunes cada única noche, una práctica que mantuvo con una devoción casi monástica durante los ocho años completos, seleccionando él mismo las cartas de las 40.000 que llegaban diariamente a la Casa Blanca, y su directora de correspondencia de toda la vida, Fiona Reese, confirmó que Obama a menudo lloraba en privado mientras leía ciertas cartas, doblándolas con cuidado antes de escribir respuestas tan personalmente detalladas y emocionalmente presentes que los destinatarios describían frecuentemente la experiencia de recibirlas como el momento más significativo de sus vidas, con un obrero siderúrgico de Ohio escribiendo de vuelta para decir que la carta de Obama lo había detenido físicamente de tomar una decisión que habría alterado permanentemente el futuro de su familia. Lo que hace que esta práctica sea casi insoportablemente conmovedora es el detalle que surgió después —Obama nunca usó una computadora para estas cartas, siempre un bolígrafo de punta de fieltro negro, siempre papel legal amarillo primero como borrador, siempre reescrito a mano una segunda vez en el papel membretado de la Casa Blanca, porque él creía, como le dijo a la historiadora Doris Kearns Goodwin en una rara conversación privada después relatada en su obra de 2018, que el acto físico de presionar la pluma contra el papel obligaba a una calidad de atención que simplemente teclear no podía replicar, una filosofía arraigada en sus años como profesor de derecho constitucional en la Universidad de Chicago de 1992 a 2004, donde desarrolló la convicción de que la democracia solo funciona cuando sus líderes permanecen genuinamente, incómodamente cerca de la gravedad específica del sufrimiento humano individual en lugar de procesarlo desde la distancia aislante de las instituciones y las pantallas.

Long unofficially banned from appearing on state TV, incoming Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appears on a channel to which he was previously not allowed only to announce an end of "North Korean" style Orban media monopoly.

These people are full of emotions, empathy and pain💔

Volodymyr Zelensky entered office without losing his humanity. Power changed his level of responsibility, not his character.
"True personality" is a gift.

Don't stop supporting him and Ukraine 🇺🇦, they need our help🫂

[The Day Warrior @thedaywar90]

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton:

"It is shocking that Trump said no one informed him that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz. I find it unbelievable that one of the fundamental pillars of geopolitical strategy in the Middle East was ignored. That was the first thing we assumed Iran would do. It is their main tool of global leverage. We are now seeing the consequences of a foreign policy driven by impulse rather than strategy.
