Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

How incredibly bitter Trump's betrayal must be for Ukraine, though hardly a surprise.

Even in his first term as president, and before his second inauguration, it was clear that Trump is siding with the Kremlin, against Kyiv.

Hope got the better of many, but this is what Trump is, Putin's vassal...

If you say that America is poised to institutionalize a police state - that the reality of concentration camps and regularized disappearances will become an ongoing facet of life - you'll still receive eye-rolls and clucked tongues. But that is not a possibility of this budget, it is the purpose.
this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

Parlament dnes schválil povinné spoření pro 130 000 lidí, zvýšení výnosů ale řešit odmítl 😤

Takhle to dopadá, když SPOLU,Starostové,ANO i SPD upřednostňují zisky bank a penz. fondů před vyšší důchodem lidí.
České penzijní fondy jsou už dnes NEJHORŠÍ v OECD se záporným reálným výnosem - z uspořených

The confrontation with Russia unavoidable. At one point Europe will have to battle Russia. Russia on the hand is already waging a war against us. Russia is the enemy and the longer we wait, the harder it will be.

🇺🇦❗️ Zelensky: Kharkiv. These are Russian strikes not “in response”, but for destruction. They want the complete destruction of life.

In more than 11 years of Russia’s war, they have brought only one new thing to our land, and this is really the most widespread Russian product – ruins and death.

Russia’s goal from day 1 of the invasion has been the surrender or destruction of Ukraine. Today, on day 1,194, they restated that goal in Istanbul.
That’s why nothing comes of ‘peace talks’ & nothing ever will, until they are forced to negotiate. Forced.
