The Financial Times writes that NATO is considering a “more aggressive” approach and even a “pre-emptive strike” as a defense against Russia’s hybrid attacks.

Wow. And this comes after nearly four years of full-scale war in Ukraine.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

A leaked conversation between Steve Witkoff and a Vladimir Putin aide shows that Witkoff continually “encourages the Russians to think they can get Trump on their side”—and in doing so has prolonged the war with Ukraine, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:
What Is Steve Witkoff Trying to Do?
Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
