The US is working with neo-fascist, neo-imperialist Russia against the world order. Ukraine’s borders are the internationally recognised 1991 borders.

They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.
Congressional Republicans including Senator Mitch McConnell are openly blasting President Trump’s team of appeasing Russia, warning that doing so would not lead to lasting peace.

This is my “game-theoretic” read of the leaked transcripts between Witkoff, Ushakov, and Dmitriev:
1. The US is steering the peace track and using a calibrated mix of pressure and incentives on Russia. 1/

It is not normal for a U.S. envoy to coach the Kremlin on how to influence an American president, especially in a way that undercuts Ukrainian and American national interests. As I told @NPR's Morning Edition.

Navalny compares Ukraine to Afghanistan. Putin, much like the late Soviet gerontocracy needed a distraction from real problems and to refocus ‘toward imperial hysteria’.

The war against Ukraine began 2014 with the illegal seizure of Crimea. It could end today with the complete Russian withdrawal and justice for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide carried out against Ukraine

Holy crap. This is most likely a real reaction to Trump driven threats.
It is also evidence that MAGA is entering a civil war and that the GOP has officially been driven into a ditch a year ahead of midterms that could end Trump 2.0 on Day 1 of the 120th Congress.

Everyone realize that the reason the government is "shut down" is that the Republicans failed to pass a budget by Sept 30th, as they are required to do by law, and the government just ran out of money?
By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.
Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?
Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

Tucker Carlson tells a story that appears to blame Jews for killing Jesus (they didn’t) and also killing Charlie Kirk.

We should trust ourselves and those we address to be able hold two thoughts at the same time: That we must forcefully condemn political violence - but also acknowledge that it festers and thrives in a deeply unhealthy political culture that Kirk himself helped create.

What @fetterman.senate.gov gets wrong in his interview with CNN is historians compare but don’t equate Trump with other historical autocrats. History helps us explain the present. I encourage him to read work by @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social especially The Death of Democracy
