Trump’s policies kill Ukrainians who are trying to get gas and raise prices for Americans who are trying to get gas. And he wants the Americans to blame the Ukrainians. This is wrong and despicable. snyder.substack.com/p/a-meditati...

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

Rick sits down with historian Timothy Snyder, author of ON TYRANNY and ON FREEDOM. His message: Trump isn’t strong. He’s weak. The answer isn’t fear—it’s mockery, organizing, and overwhelming turnout this November. A historian’s warning—and a battle plan. WATCH: youtu.be/7Y3o9rPG34U

Tonight is my first of four debates with Senator Susan Collins. Eight years ago today, she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade—and she still says she doesn’t regret her vote. I’m fired up and ready to hold her accountable.

Today, billionaires yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media company closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia will co-own those outlets, too.

(2/2) The president of the United States says things that are not only false and cruel but which only Russians could have instructed him to say, since there is no way he could have thought of them himself, and since they depend on knowledge that he does not have.
