Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

DEI was originally implemented as a way (half-assed in my opinion) to enforce the Civil Rights Act. So what’s the plan?

Who does a pregnant mother go to if she’s terminated because of her pregnancy?

What does an older man do when he’s denied employment due to his age? What’s the plan, Mike? #moleg

Eastern Bluebird

There are reminders all around that beauty does still exist in the world...
Don't stop taking the time to notice.

A blue, tan, and white Eastern Bluebird is perched on an iron rail. He is facing away from the camera, so his vivid blue coat is fully visible. The background is blurry brown.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

DOGE Teen Owns ‘Tesla.Sexy LLC’ and Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

Trump's 'plans' to shut down USAID will erode American influence in increasingly dangerous world

It seems members of Trump's team - and the president himself - share a visceral dislike for the US government's international aid and development arm.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."
