"Ukraine is fighting for its survival. Drones and missiles hit Ukrainian cities most nights. Many Ukrainians nevertheless want, even now, to have a government that’s accountable to the public. Meanwhile, American and Russian kleptocrats are circling the country, looking for ways to make deals."
'In Ukraine, the state itself is investigating the government, the cabinet, the president’s closest advisers. By contrast, it is impossible to imagine Kash Patel’s FBI investigating anyone in Trump’s White House. Any Russian who investigates Putin goes to jail"

It's very transparently an attempt to criminalize opposition to the regime.
Pam Bondi gave the FBI 30 days to compile a list of "terrorists" whose crimes are being pro-immigrant, pro-trans rights, or anti-capitalist, & directed the Joint Terrorism Task Forces to prioritize "rooting out all culpable participants".

this gets to the fundamental lawlessness. the difference between law as a game and law as a tool of government.
birthright citizenship is the law. nothing has changed. the documents are the same. if that can change based on *nothing*, you don't have a real constitution in the first place.

also, let’s say wurman is right. well, we have had nearly 160 years of unlimited birthright citizenship that has been affirmed again and again by generations of Americans. whatever the original intent, that is what the birthright clause *means*.

🇺🇸🤔 Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner made a positive impression on Putin, — Ushakov.
"Kushner just joined the process, so it was important for him to understand what kind of person our president is. In this sense, the meeting was quite successful.

The U.S. is an ally of Russia. It is the Belarus of North America.
The United States presented a “peace plan” that was actually a Russian war wish-list. It was written in the Kremlin.
Now the U.S. has a “National Security Strategy” that perfectly aligns with Russian war aims.
