This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace
Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

No one should gloss over how appalling this is. A president who feels this comfortable demeaning women, and so many others, is nothing short of embarrassing and shameful.

This is a pedophilephile administration with a predator at the top.
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.

Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.
“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Oh thank God. Proud graduate here.
The University of Virginia became the fifth school to rebuff a White House proposal to give universities preferential treatment if they uphold a set of government demands.
University of Virginia Won’t Join White House’s Compact for Colleges
It was the fifth school in a matter of days to refuse an offer of preferential funding treatment from the government, even as the White House has threatened schools that do not sign up.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.
Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”
This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Three Russian warplanes entered Estonian airspace and remained there for nearly 15 minutes, leaving only when they were forced to by NATO aircraft.
Estonia has invoked NATO Article Four in response to this provocative action by the Putin regime.

Yes. He also paints liberals as being obsessed with money, as if a government is not created because of and tasked with distributing from a shared pot of money. That’s the whole thing. SOMEONE gets the shared money.
This is a common conservative trope: Giving money to poor people isn't enough, we need to focus on "cultural values" like hard work and marriage.
The problem is that red states have been doing that for decades and it doesn't work! Telling people that jobs are good doesn't help if there's no jobs.

DC statehood absolutely needs to be a non-negotiable for every Democrat running for office. and senate dems must support abolishing the filibuster to push it through
A deranged convicted felon who wants to distract from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is lying about Washington, DC, which tallied a 30-year low in violent crime last year. It’s important to keep speaking the truth and not permit this pathological liar to control the narrative.

I really feel this. I miss listings deeply, and not just because I would love people to come to Pangea tomorrow night for a great event of new work. I miss knowing what’s happening in NYC, and browsing Eventbrite is in no way an adequate substitute.
In my debut for @theatlantic.com, I wrote about the disappearance of cultural listings from major New York media outlets, and what it portends for artists, audiences, institutions, and journalists. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Legit question. If billionaires on mass leave the state because they’re asked to pay taxes, how many billionaires who decide to stay does it take to make up for the near-zero taxes paid by the other billionaires in the first place? Like, two?

Ok. When you’re supposed to identify which squares have a motorcycle, does that mean any portion of a motorcycle? Just the main parts? Anything silvery and gleaming? I just had to do it five times in a row so I am clearly getting life wrong.
