It takes a special talent to come up with a Russian plan to end the war in Ukraine and present it as your own. But then that has been Steve Witkoff’s modus operandi from the start: take Russia’s side and force Ukraine to accept it. My latest @theobserveruk.bsky.social. observer.co.uk/news/interna...

Rounds: Senator Shaheen mentioned that Secretary Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

She may have become a punchline, but she has been and remains a dangerous peddler of the worst antisemitic and conspiratorial garbage. That she was with MAGA shows they don’t care at all about antisemitism.

Insightful and informed thoughts on AI. Thanks @djrothkopf.bsky.social as always.
I know that social media is a place where people come to promote their ignorance and prejudices, but still there are few subjects here that I see that are more distorted by both than AI. It’s oversimplified, misunderstood, misrepresented, vilified, and hyped to a degree that it’s unrecognizable…
