Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

Thought this was the law and order president
Everybody demanding immediate action by Congress, remember options narrow. A "criminal referral" of wrongdoing of DoJ goes to.. DoJ. Congress has no independent criminal enforcement authority. Sure they thought about options. Don't expect anything immediate. That is the point of an autocracy.
The House Oversight Democrats have released a statement that they are reviewing all legal options after Donald Trump and the DOJ have violated federal law as they continue covering up the facts and the evidence about Jeffrey Epstein.

Yep, my sense is that Vance is the figurehead for the less-obviously-Nazi wing to push ethnonationalism into the mainstream.
Takes halfway through this article to get there but, yeah its not just Fuentes preaching blood and soil politics, the most prominent person doing that, quite explicitly, is JD Vance (like Vivek, a Peter Thiel protegee) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

A Police Stop Is Enough to Make Someone Less Likely to Vote
New research shows how the communities that are most heavily policed are pushed away from politics and from having a say in changing policy.

Someone needs to say it. Trump 2028 isn’t happening.
We know the presidency ages you, and we’re witnessing his rapid decline. His approval is buried in the 30s, and his stamina is gone. He won’t be able to vigorously campaign.
He can pretend 2028 is inevitable, but everyone can see the truth.

Reminder that shortly after ordering these strikes, Hegseth removed the press corps from the Pentagon and the SouthCom Commander overseeing operations in the Caribbean unexpectedly announced he is stepping down 2 yrs before his term is up. What we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
