More than 10,000 works were stolen by russia from the Kherson Regional Art Museum during the occupation.

Last week, I visited an exhibition featuring art prints of some of the stolen pieces.
You’ve already seen a few of them in my letter.

Here’s a short video.

Or why I’ve never been upset when called a “virtue signaller.”

Damn rights I’m signalling.

If Prince Andrew can be arrested for links to Epstein, so can Trump. It only requires a sense of decency, justice and the rule of law over the will of a dictator.

Allegations in Epstein files may amount to 'crimes against humanity,' UN experts say Millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a "global criminal enterprise" that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,...

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

For those who think it important for the Nation to impose more tariffs, I understand that today's decision will be dis-appointing. All I can offer them is that most major decisions affecting the rights and responsibilities of the American people (including the duty to pay taxes and tariffs) are funneled through the legislative process for a reason. Yes, legislating can be hard and take time. And, yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problem arises. But the deliberative nature of the legislative process was the whole point of its design. Through that process, the Nation can tap the combined wisdom of the people's elected representatives, not just that of one faction or man. There, deliberation tempers impulse, and compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions. And because laws must earn such broad support to survive the legislative pro-cess, they tend to endure, allowing ordinary people to plan their lives in ways they cannot when the rules shift from day to day. In all, the legislative process helps ensure each of us has a stake in the laws that govern us and in the Nation's future. For some today, the weight of those virtues is apparent. For others, it may not seem so obvious. But if history is any guide, the tables will turn and the day will come when those disappointed by today's result will appreciate the legislative process for the bulwark of liberty it is.

These words by Supreme Justice Gorsuch should be printed, in full, on tomorrow’s front pages.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey love seat. You come here often?

I guess he just got lucky.

I just can't wait for Donald Trump to congratulate that great young American champion Fernando Mendoza, grandson of four Cuban immigrants.

Personally, dropping that speech and then letting the walking scrotum stew is exactly the right approach in this moment. Anything else, the turnip would interpret as kissing his ring and seriously - enough of that shit.

In this incredibly ugly week, with a madman literally threatening World War III because he wants Greenland and his toadies do nothing to stop him, seeing Lane Hutson and Cole Caufield make a fool out of Bill Guerin was beautiful.
Screw you, Guerin. And your Team USA. And the dictator you admire.

American democracy on the brink a year after Trump’s election, experts say Scale and speed of president’s moves have stunned observers of authoritarian regimes – is the US in democratic peril?

Stunning list here of all the ways in which Trump and his minions have dismantled the American democracy in 365 days.
The democracy may not be dead but after 250 years it is very much on life support.

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America.

At least until tomorrow.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know. 32m O Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works. You don't get to say that in retrospect. 24m O CO Halligan: Yes I do. Off record. 23m O Bower: i am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story? 7m O CO Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story. 6m O

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."
