“The central question is whether Russia’s prospects for the military success Putin needs to justify this war have dimmed. The evidence suggests they have. The strategic costs for Russia is heading in a direction that Putin may not be able to reverse.” mickryan.substack.com/p/the-scales...
Only a tiny fraction of the already inadequate $17 billion pledged for Gaza reconstruction via US President Donald Trump's so-called "Board of Peace" has reportedly been received.
Ok, I checked his website based on your statement. I don't see any set of tasks or a term limit pledge. He may have said it in an interview or something but if central to his campaign, it would be on his website. No, he was part of the GOP that gave us Trump. He can't be trusted with too much power.
A planned fight between youths escalated into a shooting in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, leaving several people shot and two dead near a middle school, according to local authorities.
The number of victims and their ages remained unclear.
No, we want a Democrat not a closet Republican in that seat. Maybe not Schlossberg but not someone who was celebrating in Nov 2016.

3 wounded in shooting in Omaha, Nebraska.
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
2 dead in shooting in Westminster, Maryland.

Catholic here. But, what if the religious institution is not following the dictates of its Founder? Not just love your neighter as yourself but Matthew 19:14: 'but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” '
Guns reduce our freedom. They are why there are so many security checkpoints, why schools are locked up, and why police are so agressive. If you have a gun in your house, you are more likely to die by gun that if not. It is insane that guns are seen as symbols of freedom rather than fear.
The attacks on the ambulances have drawn condemnation, including from the United Nations' human rights office, which said it was "shocked" and warned that intentionally targeting medics constituted a war crime. https://to.pbs.org/4dQHW89
I seem to recall Alton Brown -- a proud Southerner, too -- used to feature his local Whole Foods (in Atlanta?) on Good Eats a lot.
I listened more closely to this yesterday than in the past so this is the first time I realized the meeting was on Easter Sunday, i.e. still during Passover. Shouldn't the bread pictured be unleavened, tying it to the Last Supper with it being the first Sunday Mass (Scripture, homily, Eucharist)?
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
2 dead in shooting at Summit Square Apartments in Dayton, Ohio.
I think we need some Storming of the Bastille energy around these concentration camps.
The #BraveOfUS speak out against injustice with loud voices and in clear terms. Concentration camps are places where civilians are held without due process and that is precisely what's happening here and now. #CloseTheCamps
Oh, that's good. That's it exactly. He wants to be able to influence them through the Palantir like Sauron did.
Is the Orioles' "value" hot dog actually good value? 🌭
Armed with a kitchen scale, a ruler, butcher’s twine and a serious commitment to the bit, The Banner analyzed every hot dog configuration at Camden Yards. Here's what we found...
Nope. You needed those experiences and that time. It will provide fuel and perspective for your ministry for your whole life.
👀 Mark DeSaulnier, the top Democrat in the House Ethics Committee, pushes for a "zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment and workforce discrimination" in the House.
"For too long, the system has made it too hard to come forward, too easy to avoid accountability,” he said on X. “That has to end.”
It is good he is saying this. Also, I am sure he realizes this would be disastrous for his company. But, he doesn’t clearly state that there needs to be a way to funnel a large portion of the profit the productivity gains produce to those unemployed.
Claude tells me UBI is one good option.
Metaphorically, you may have just explained how we got here. How the media we consume has rotted so many minds.
Would have been worth ditching the filibuster for this. Or, finding some way to pay off Lieberman.
I agree that trying to work with GOP was a major mistake. I don’t think it was hubris because I think it was what almost all Dem leadership and advisors thought was right. I wonder what Obama thought then and thinks now. Seems so obvious now but wasn’t then.
Pope Leo lamented during an event in Angola on Monday that many people in the world were being "exploited by authoritarians and defrauded by the rich", the latest example of a forceful new speaking style he has adopted on his Africa tour.

America is so bizarrely obsessed with guns that even when someone clearly should NOT have a gun, they can easily get one.
As tho NOT having a gun is some horrendous punishment.
It's really not.
Having a gun makes your life (and those of your family/friends/coworkers) MORE dangerous, not less.
