I sincerely hope Britain, the EU, & NATO push back hard against Russian colonial plans, strengthen NATO alliances, and admit Ukraine into NATO. The only way to deter a genocidal maniac is not with diplomacy but rather united strength of offense.

“When we showed up for our green card appointment, they detained him because there was a warrant issued... They had approved us for the green card interview, we paid like almost $5,000 in fees for this and we really didn’t know...”

36 days detained as of this article. 😡

Dem rep Jimmy Gomez introduced a bill today that would take the 175B given to ICE in Trump’s OBBBA and put it towards a housing moonshot instead. The nickname for the bill is the “Housing Over Hate Act” — I’m all for it! 👏🏼👏🏼

The Republican-Russian Lie Machine is on a new kick spreading AI videos on YouTube of Michigan Port officials being arrested by DHS & ICE for drug smuggling.

This’ll be interesting given the pipe bomber is MAGA and Trump pardoned all the 1/6 MAGA.

With Trump and his Putin loving cronies, Macron is effing spot on:

"“There is a chance that the US will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees,” Macron said according to the English language notes of the call that DER SPIEGEL has obtained."
"We Must Not Leave Ukraine and Volodymyr Alone with These Guys"
DER SPIEGEL has obtained notes from a conference call involving EU leaders - including Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron - showing just how little trust Europe has in Washington.

After beating Evangelicals over the head with "late term abortion", Republicans bludgeoned them with "born alive".

Even the Taliban can't believe how many "freedom-loving" American women fell for GOP lies that deprived them of the fundamental right to control their own bodies.
“A child does not come out partway alive and then doctors kill it. It’s not a thing. For us to legislate things that do not exist in real life is a perfect example of why politicians should not practice healthcare.” -MN physician and state senator Alice Mann

Borgund Stave Church, dating back to the 12th century, is one of the best-preserved stave churches in Norway.
It was constructed almost entirely of wood without a single nail, using interlocking joinery and wooden pegs instead.

🤨 Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev was pulled from SpaceX’s upcoming Crew-12 mission after allegations he photographed confidential SpaceX materials in California, violating US export-control rules.

He’s been replaced by another Roscosmos astronaut.

Imagine being the production staff member who found this footage?
NEW VIDEO: We uncovered footage showing Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying the military won’t follow unlawful orders — the same point he has recently criticized Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, for making - and which Trump has said is punishable by death.

Important: WaPo is doubling down on its reporting on Trump's bombings, asserting expressly that the second strike was ordered "when" the two survivors were "detected."

Hegseth is suggesting he didn't see the survivors, but the question remains: Were they visible, or not? Time to see the video.
