Putin can (as you and everyone knows, of course) end the war in an instant. He can leave the whole of Ukraine (Crimea included) and go the fuck home.

easy way to end that ridiculous war: Putin withdraws all his troops and stops firing on Ukraine, gives up all territorial claims including Crimea. stops thinking of the USSR as the good old days.

Q: Russia already violated the ceasefire and attacked Ukraine last night. TRUMP: Well I'm not sure about that. But all I know is that Zelenskyy and Putin have to get together and end that ridiculous war.

AES & Mamdani have revolutionized not just political communication but the public image of what a strong, successful man can be. What a contrast their wit, intelligence, humanity & fighting spirit are to the predatory, ignorant thugs on the right. Good to see Muslim men in particular racking up Ws.

Democrats are leaning hard into anti-corruption messaging in the final weeks of the campaign as new research suggests that linking corruption to Americans' economic struggles can boost Democrats into the home stretch.

Democrats are making corruption messaging a pocketbook issue
Running against corruption is not new. But Democrats have turned the familiar attack into a broader message tied to voters’ economic pain.

Q: How are going to make Putin abide by the ceasefire? TRUMP: I think what's happening is he wants to make a deal and we have to get Zelenskyy to want to make a deal. I think Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelenskyy.

Trump’s latest James Talarico conspiracy just collapsed. He and MAGA claimed Paxton's opponent was secretly in a psych facility in Ohio. The hospital said he “has never received treatment” there. In fact, Talarico has never even been to Ohio.

This administration seems unmoved by art. There is no Shakespeare in their language, no Baldwin in their conscience, no Springsteen on their radios, no Swift in their playlists. And when leaders feel nothing for beauty, it’s the soul of a nation that suffers.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
