Far-right ideologues have transformed American foreign policy into a tool of private gain and antidemocratic reaction.

Trump's Pentagon plans to delay spending the remaining $400M in Ukraine aid until FY2029—the year Trump leaves office—despite Kyiv's urgent weapons shortages. Congress was notified in May, but the funds remain unspent and not under contract. #Ukraine #Trump #Putin www.kyivpost.com/post/81216

And it’s increasingly hiding the point of their degree from the students, too. A history degree is about learning to research and write — it’s also about learning about the past! — it’s not actually about vague “transferable skills” and it’s certainly not about a transcript of marks gained via AI.

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.
