Cognetti: We don’t want Joe Rogan or OAN talking about this district because we have a congressman who has become one of the most prolific stock traders—someone who dumped six figures’ worth of Medicaid provider stock a week before he trashed a trillion dollars of Medicaid.

Russia is strong like the Soviet Union was strong - a paper tiger to the end.
Propagandist Solovyev says that Russia doesn't need to be loved by the West;the West has to fear Russia
According to the Kremlin's mouthpiece,when the West fears Russia,that's "a sign that they realize Russia is strong&that nothing can be done to it,"adding it loves Moscow only in times of crisis

Every day, Americans are bombarded with the bad news of Trump 2.0, and it is exhausting to keep track of and absorb each new outrage. That is the clear intent.
When one is caught in the crossfire, it is hard to see, let alone address, the big picture.

U.S. Army Sec. Driscoll warned EU diplomats that Russia is stockpiling long-range missiles, using it as leverage to push Trump’s peace plan.
He claimed the growing arsenal could soon overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses. Critics say this flips U.S. policy on its head, pressuring the victim to settle.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Called it: Trump is going to *give* China Taiwan (no, Taiwan is not his to give) in an attempt to reverse the damage of his stupid trade war.
“.. Japanese officials said the message was worrying: the president didn’t want friction over Taiwan to endanger a detente reached last month with Xi, which includes a promise to buy more agricultural products from American farmers ..”

Yo @washingtonpost.com this is embarrassingly bad and you should feel bad for running it. It is not news. It serves no good purpose. It makes you look ridiculous. Fucking hell.
This is nuts!
Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?
I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.
