Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

This is Zelenskyy's "if necessary for years, if necessary alone" moment.
A chapter in history that will be remembered both for the shame of Washington's betrayal, and for the dignity, bravery, defiance and resolve of the Ukrainian people in the face of it all.

The president's men: how Zelenskyy's friends plundered Ukraine during the war
Every new Ukrainian administration follows a speedy trajectory: within five years, reformers and anti-graft crusaders morph into something resembling a criminal gang.

I loved the time when Gattaca was just a sci-fi movie.
This is *literally* the 1997 Ethan Hawke movie "Gattaca," and they made it very clear that this future would suck all the ass.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

Reporting since Sunday’s drone strikes indicates that fewer warplanes were destroyed than initially thought, but the loss of two of these early warning and control aircraft would be quite something. Kyiv claims Russia has only six operational A-50s.
