If I use an estimated 6 trillion ruble deficit—instead of the “very optimistic” 3.8 trillion rubles currently under consideration—the gap is even more profound.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Why is Trump hitching his wagon to this obviously dying country?

Wasn't it that only the foreman and perhaps one other saw the final?

If true, this isn't evidence and it needs to be seen in full context.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

Two screenshots from Trump’s TruthSocial account. “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT” “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT”

A photo of a noose hanging outside the Capitol on January 6.

From pardoning MAGA insurrectionists who brought a noose to the Capitol, to urging that members of Congress be hanged, Trump is dangerously spiraling.

What have Republicans in Congress got to say about this?

For many Rus soldiers at the front, this may be an easier and faster way to put together a heavy drone based on their needs - since there are lots of FPVs available to attach to the frame, without the need to wait for Russian defense companies to start mass-producing heavy drones.

Since there is a lack of heavy Rus drones at the front, one company is now selling large frames made from plywood for attaching 2 to 4 10-inch FPV drones: "Vobla", "Tyoschya" (Mother-in Law) and "Driada". DIY is the way to go now if Rus soldiers want an heavy drone. fpv-frame.ru

2/ "Originally conceived as a competition, US National Drone Association approached this first crucible as a stepping stone for future contests because of a “significant disparity between service maturity” on tactics and employment."

No clear winner in military's first ‘drone crucible’ Teams from each service went head-to-head in training events for unmanned systems, including convoy ambushes and reconnaissance.

1/ In September 2025, the inaugural Drone Crucible organized by the US National Drone Association brought together teams from Army Rangers and Aviation Center of Excellence, Navy SEALs, Air Force and the Marines. Thanks to @dflawrence.bsky.social for the summary: taskandpurpose.com/tech-tactics...

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

This ballroom was made for Trump and his donor friends – not for you.

Let’s be clear: the Republican shutdown continues because the Republican Speaker dares not bring back the House to face an Epstein vote they would lose and a divided caucus with vulnerables who want to extend Affordable Care credits and MAGAloons who won’t.

Solidarity is the only way

It's 2047.

Ambush drones are a new menace for logistics, supply and evac routes. A recent video of a Ukrainian drone coming upon and subsequently destroying several Russian fiber-optic ambush drones (probably "KVN" types) waiting on a road to disrupt Ukrainian logistics routes. t.me/texotdelBPLA...

"This initiative would generate over 20,000 Attack Drone Operators annually — enough to create a foundation of UxS proficiency across the Corps. In less than a year’s time, we would possess the largest cadre of small UxS operators in the U.S. military."
