Breaking: Witkoff and Kushner fly out. The missiles fly in. Two dead in Kyiv. Seven wounded. Before the plane even cleared Ukrainian airspace. That’s not diplomacy. That’s a photo op with a body count.

They thought they had scored an easy point with Trump. Instead Trump immediately ratcheted up the pressure and asked for the Strait of Hormuz to be renamed.

Who are we? What is the fastest way to stop this? The issue was considered significant enough by the founding fathers that they put a prohibition on cruel and unusual punishments right there in the constitution.

It probably would have been better if we hadn't decided to go through the list of important things a society does and then stop doing them because we didn't know much about them

The president is making US policy friendlier to North Korea and Russia than Canada and Oman. Are you kidding me?

Yes. The the best study about homeownership was one that I saw cited in the San Jose Mercury News. In any given metro area in the US, about 16-17% of households have a high enough income that they can get a mortgage for a median-priced home. The other 80% of the population is just priced out.

Russia has attacked the Chornomorets Stadium in Odesa. Several people were injured. What do you say to that, Infantino? Still want to allow russians back?

And somehow they still missed women who are taller than the standard 5ft4. No real clothing brands exist for taller women in 2026. There are a few sites where you can get a longer basic t-shirt, but no stylish brands cater to taller women.

I know so many "mixed status" families. One spouse may be a citizen, but it does not automatically make his/her spouse eligible for a green card. For example, if the illegal entry occurred over the land border, you cannot get a green card. If you entered through an airport, you have a chance.

It looks like classic Russian style op - stir the pot. Russia has paid for costumes before, knows how to bus in a small crowd. Some guys might be paid a few hundred, some show up for free. This needs to be investigated.

All is not well. The educational level of much of the electorate is so low, democrats don't know how to stoop to that level. Republicans sure did! They can stoop! Democrats can't decide if a) they need to also stoop (how?) or b) keep hoping the electorate will come to their senses...

APPLEBAUM: Ukraine reinvented warfare. With drones, Ukrainians can see whole front line, hit everything that comes across, hit supply routes, hit longer-range targets. Russians dying in huge numbers and cannot move forward. Ukraine turned the tide and changed perceptions of war.

There are people who actually say that a voter should not vote for the person who is the less than ideal candidate in preference to the worst one because supposedly you never get progress that way. VOTING FOR THE BETTER OF THE TWO IS HOW EVERY BIT OF PROGRESS HAS EVER BEEN MADE. Sheesh.

How did Putin’s Russia become Putin’s Russia? Well, in the mid 00’s some news shows, magazines just got “shut down” one after the other. No particular reason. There was very little alarm, because there were always so many other investigative journalists and news shows left. Until there weren’t.

Random reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.
