They are working without expertise. They have no visible system in place to brief or debrief, let alone negotiating instructions that reflect work within agencies, and of course no underlying strategy in the normal sense. (1/2)

They know nothing, absolutely nothing, about Ukraine, about the war, about anything. Just asking them to consider what de jure recognition means is, in their world, triggering, a micro-aggression, a violation of their made-up safe space. (2/2)

We are selling the tech that allow Russian and North Korean missiles to hit Kyiv. But Trump won’t give or even sell Zelens’kyi the defensive tech needed to stop them.

Reserving judgement until more information comes out, but I’ll say this: The evidence in this case better be very, very compelling. Arresting *judges* is a slippery slope and not a line that should be crossed arbitrarily.

Donald Trump is going after small donor fundraising platforms that support progressive candidates, because he knows that while he might have the billionaires, we have the people on our side.

"Law students organize to give Trump-caving firms a recruitment problem" Georgetown Law students made a spreadsheet. National coverage followed. Now, the world's richest firms face PR & recruitment headaches. An organizer on how it unfolded @www.AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...
The day after Donald Trump’s election last year, three Georgetown Law students started a political movement to brace for impact.

The students texted each other, started organizing, and eventually discovered the ability to perform a simple act to put the world’s wealthiest and most powerful law firms on the defensive.

They created a spreadsheet.

“Fascist Attacks Tracker”

After Trump signed executive orders singling out law firms for political retribution, the students recorded BigLaw’s responses in a document they titled “Legal Industry Responses to Fascist Attacks Tracker.”

It’s elementary. If only one side is pushing it will get a lot of its way. The only workable remedial action is to make clear to all relevant parties that there are two sides pushing. And act accordingly.

The Republican Senate is to blame for this. Donald Trump wanted only yes men. It was their job to confirm and consent. They knew Hegseth wasn’t up to the job, but put him in charge anyway. They risked our country’s security to please the mad king and should be punished for it at the ballot box.

... (

The tweet includes a screenshot of an article excerpt titled "OPINION | Larry David: My Dinner With Adolf." The excerpt describes a fictional encounter with Adolf Hitler, who greets the author warmly in a tan suit with a swastika armband, surprising the author with his friendliness and humor. The author reflects on the contrast between the "public Hitler" and this "private Hitler," noting that the latter seemed more authentic, leaving the author disoriented.
