It must be maddening for Vikings fans to start 6-0, 14-2 & 8-1 in the last few years just to have the entire league say “yeah well everyone knows you’re trash” the entire time
Obama on Trump: “There’s gold everywhere. What’s up with the gold? Everything — more gold. He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”
Ukraine was once again unable to intercept a single incoming Russian missile overnight. Ukrainian officials blame another delayed shipment of Patriot interceptors.
The shifting explanations from Musk and the administration sound like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” Except the consequences for Ukrainian civilians are deadly.
Musk says he didn’t do it. The administration says it didn’t either. Yet someone in the administration reportedly told Musk to undo it, and Ukraine reports only partial restoration.
Are we supposed to believe Hegseth and the Pentagon don’t know the status of a capability critical to U.S., Ukrainian and allied security?
Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it. Hiding behind denials while innocent people pay the price is cowardice.
Meanwhile, Putin keeps murdering civilians and trying to starve and freeze Ukraine into submission. Americans deserve answers. Ukrainians deserve the means to defend themselves.
Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.
They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.
Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.
The Trump administration fully throwing Elon Musk under the bus now, laying responsibility for the sabotage of Ukraine’s Starshield satellite communications firmly at the feet of the SpaceX CEO.
❗️@LeslieMarshall on FOX News @SpecialReport: “It was disgusting to call Putin a humanitarian. It’s wonderful Mr. Hubbard is home, but he was kidnapped, he was tortured for four years and abused under the responsibility of Putin. That is not humanitarian."
Bill Clinton on Mark Carney:
I'm tired of treating our allies like they're dirt.
The prime minister of Canada has been a friend of mine for a long time. We got to know each other having virtually nothing to do with politics.
He's about the most well-qualified leader in the world. He's been head of the banks of both the UK and Canada.
And we have the gall to suggest that they should become the 51st state.
It really was the Epstein Files that made it all fall apart for Trump.
The economy was what dealt the death blow, yes. But the Epstein Files was the watershed that made a lot of MAGA people open their eyes and say, wait a minute, this guy isn't out for me.
