Police have released the first minutes of bodycam footage following last night's Russian drone strike on Kharkiv.

Collapsed structures, efforts to pull a person from the rubble as fire spreads, and the Ukrainian anthem he sings on the brink of death.

Turn your sound on.

Adam Kinzinger, tidligere republikaner som har varslet om farene ved Trump og MAGA lenge, har skrevet en ny bloggpost.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday.

Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America.

My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity.

Authoritarian on Parade

Deploying soldiers against American cities while parading tanks through D.C.? This is the dictator playbook, page by page.

My small country, Estonia, population 1.3 million sent 2003-2014 over 2500 soldiers. 9 were killed in the line of duty. 109 wounded, half of them so seriously they could no longer lead a normal life.

In Iraq 2003-2009 we had more than 440 soldiers. 2 were killed. 18 seriously wounded.

HEGSETH: We wore a patch on our shoulder that said ISAF -- International Security Assistance Force. And you know what the joke was? That is stood for 'I saw Americans fighting.'

COONS: Let's just make clear for the record that our military partners in Afghanistan included many who served and died

The entire Fulbright Board has resigned because of Trump administration interference.

Every aspect of liberal, educated American life is under threat.

FRMRFFSB
Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board Resignation Statement
FRMRFFSB
JUN 11, 2025
Effective immediately, members of the Congressionally mandated Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board voted overwhelmingly to resign from the board, rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the law, compromise U.S. national interests and integrity, and undermine the mission and mandates Congress established for the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago.
At the program's inception, Congress clearly specified that the Fulbright Board has final approval authority of applicants, which occurs after an exhaustive and deliberate, year-long process led by nonpartisan career staff at the State Department and Embassies around the world. The process involves 49 binational, treaty-based commissions and over 150 countries, which contribute a significant amount of the annual funding for the Fulbright program. In fact, 35+ foreign governments match or exceed the U.S. government's annual contribution.

The Trump administration is planning to declare legal migrants dead on the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File.

This is an outrageous abuse of power. It will not only create extreme hardship, but kill people.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk Are Weaponizing Social Security

Imagine, in one Trump administration keystroke, losing your income, your insurance, your bank account, your credit cards, and your home.
