Who, here, can give an accurate assessment of the strength/weaknesses of Russia now? Of it’s vulnerability to missile attacks from UKR?
I read it is crumbling, its selling gold to keep the war machine afloat, that there is growing opp to Putin in the Kremlin…and that none of these are significant.

Another victory for pure bigotry.

Watch the healthcare system in parts of Minnesota tank.
Somalis (for reasons I don’t know) happen to be many of the healthcare workers at various levels (fr highly trained to entry level) in Minnesota.
The Mayo Clinic, eg, the largest and one of the very best hospitals in the world employs many

2/Sheldon Whitehouse was pushing were passed, several of the conservative justices would quit.

@normornstein.bsky.social
You know Congress better than anyone.
If they ever pass the strict anti stock trading law, how many of them do you think would quit bcz it just isn’t worth it to them anymore?

How do you think it would split R v D?

Bill Barr once said that if an ethics law like

Would you let the rest of us know how you got to view the Epstein files?

Let’s start at the political level.

I’ve asked for any nurse, or student training to become a nurse, to please let me know:
1-why any nurse could even think of voting Repub
2-why any nurse could even think of not voting against Repubs

Ask your daughter to ask her friends and colleagues.

Zelenskyy is going to sign a peace agreement?

I find that difficult to believe unless it’s been substantially changed.

It will have to meet his criteria of dignity, no land by conquest, etc.

2/slide w/o comment or action, and one makes the big stuff inevitable.
Everything is a test.
Our key institutions failed.

Before Trump was installed, I pointed out Trump couldn’t take the Oath w/o lying: he stated often he wanted to be a dictator that he trimmed to day 1—but there is no day 1 exemption in the Oath.

No one cares. But the Oath is a condition of assuming office.

And, more importantly, let “little”

A blackout drunk twerp whose own mother said he was an abuser, and a draft evader whose Daddy bought him out of serving and who called those who made the ultimate sacrifice “suckers and losers” are accusing a hero astronaut of undermining the military.

American values your votes supported.

4/invalidates the tariffs, as most legal observers say is correct, the Sons of Sleaze pocket an easy $9000!

Trump’s America
November 25, 2025 at 4:41 PM
3/the tariffs intact, he talks down the value of the right to refund.
The sleazeboys then say, “your refund would be $10,000, you probably will get nothing, we will give you $1000 now for the right to that refund. The company says to itself something is better than nothing.
If SCOTUS then
November 25, 2025 at 4:41 PM
2/works: Lutnik keeps assuring companies the tariffs will be upheld, ie, there is no refund coming. His sleazeboys come along and say “we will give you something now in exchange for the right to collect your refund in the unlikely event there will be one”.

By talking up the SCOTUS decision to leave
November 25, 2025 at 4:41 PM
Lutnik Corruption

The sleazeball Commerce Secy, Howard Lutnik, keeps saying SCOTUS will uphold Trump’s tariffs.

At the same time, his company, operated by his sons, are buying up “tariff refunds” at sharp discounts, and stand to make billions when the tariffs are declared invalid.

This is how it

Aftyn: Johnson just told Trump the House isn’t interested in extending health care subsidies.

Hammer home in TN-07 that “electing me will make them suddenly VERY interested in extending the healthcare subsidies—you will show them they lose their seats if they don’t!”

Blue states need to create a formal consortium to take up functions like food inspections and economic data reporting the Trump Regime is abandoning.
November 25, 2025 at 4:06 PM
Oh, don’t you remember. One of Trump’s major strategies to reduce COVID infections was to stop testing for it.
The MSM had a very analytic response but not the outrage/batshit crazy response it required.
He should have been mocked relentlessly for the rest of his days
November 25, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Yeah, like Macron cares enough abt her even to bother
November 25, 2025 at 3:58 PM
2/he claims happens. I saw this first when he tried to get Mex Pres Peña “just say you will consider” paying for the wall; or Zelenskyy just to say he was investigating Biden.

By contrast, Biden’s chips & science act were real jobs in real industries.
November 25, 2025 at 7:49 AM
I’ve been trying to remind everyone at least since May that none of these “deals” are signed commitments.
But, the idiotic media keeps reporting “deals”.

This is Trump’s con. He rattles swords, claims deals, the other side has no reason to object (or tariffs are raised for no reason), and nothing
November 25, 2025 at 7:49 AM
If you are a nurse, or studying nursing, can one of you explain to me how you could even think of voting Republican now that Trump has officially downgraded your entire profession?

And, how you could stay away from voting against Repubs to register your disapproval and outrage?

Waiting,,,,

I strongly commend to everyone a book by David Halberstam, “The Powers That Be”: a history of the major legacy news outlets.
The major distinction between then and now is that the managers and journalists were all real journalists.
Weiss’s skillset, such as it is, it building a website.
