a good 75% of the U.S. press operates either in blind fealty or timid normalization of him, yet he's such a narcissistic black hole it's just never enough

... die Infanteristen der Zukunft sind schon da

We expect some positive decisions tomorrow on the €90 billion loan to Ukraine.

This would show that our support for Ukraine remains strong and that Russia cannot outlast Ukraine.

My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Ukraine says all obstacles to EU's 90 billion euro loan removed, expects green light within days "There are currently no obstacles (to approving the loan), and even artificial barriers have been removed," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said.

⚡️ Ukraine says all obstacles to EU's 90 billion euro loan removed, expects green light within days.

"There are currently no obstacles (to approving the loan), and even artificial barriers have been removed," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said.

The latest video coming from the refinery in Tuapse, Krasnodar region, in Russia shows that basically the entire facility is burning.

I’m saying that this facility is a total loss.

Oil shocks get sensationalized, but things don't look bad in global manufacturing. In fact, this shock barely registers in global supply chains. I'll move my posts behind a paywall in coming months, please consider signing up now to lock in a low rate...

Das Problem hier: die Experten der Nachrichtenagentur wissen natürlich, wer die korrekte Aussage macht. Aber sie müssen dennoch so tun, als könne der Präsident die Realität bestimmen...

Swedish Air Force says it intercepted two Russian Tu-22M3 intermediate-range (not “strategic”) bombers over the Baltic today. One photo shows a nuclear-capable Kh-32 air-to-surface missile under the belly of one of the bombers.

Time and time again, Pete Hegseth has put petty vendettas and his extremist personal ideology ahead of the best interest of servicemembers or national security. In a sane world he never would have been confirmed, he should be out of a job.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

This week, Ukraine's long-range strike & ground ops, Russia still not generating momentum in its spring offensive and Pacific security issues.

A deal to end the Iran war seemed close. Then Trump started posting on social media | CNN Politics As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.

As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.

Then President Donald Trump did exactly what his staffers have repeatedly said they wouldn’t do.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

Hey world - he is triggering some hard stock moves - act now!
😂🤦🏼‍♂️📉

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

I'm pretty sure chatbots are widely used in government at this point. I would love to know to what extent or better yet how has this has deskilled them or changed their communication. Actually, I wonder if anyone has studied pre/post ai summer political speech patterns.

Obviously not difficult enough.
The CULT is still there!
🤮

Trump Is dooming his party to a midterm blowout It's almost as though he wants Republicans to lose.

At this point, Republicans in tight races might be asking themselves, "Does Trump WANT us to lose?"

My latest at Public Notice, on how difficult he's making life for his party:

russia attacked the Dnipro Region over 70 times today, killing 3 people and injuring another 8, including a 10-year-old child💔

Trump finally admits American families and businesses paid the cost of tariffs.

Sky Defense A New Way to Save Lives in Ukraine

Since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it has fired wave after wave of missiles, bombs, and drones at Ukrainian civilians—at their homes, businesses, water supply, & energy infrastructure.

Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.

… but they still do not have the cards…
👍🏻

Beautiful views in Tuapse.

But something tells me things aren’t going very well there.

⛽️ Ukraine’s drone sanctions on Russian oil refineries continue.

Astonishing, that there are quite a lot of people, going in front of a camera and committing professional suicide for the day after Trump will lose his next election…

Trump’s Go-To Justification for Contentious Decisions: National Security

“When you look under the hood, they’re fake national security emergencies…This is a power grab. This is his way of circumventing Congress.”

Actually, you don’t even need to look under the hood.
