🇺🇸 Kellogg: Russia will not win the war. In the last 1.5 years, Russia hasn’t achieved serious victories—no capture of Kyiv, no progress west of the Dnipro, and no capture of Odesa. They’ve lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers with minimal progress.

Large swathes remain in place, including requirement that CFPB maintain a physical office and retain records.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Something so profoundly fucked up with this.
RFK Jr. said he is in Texas today “to comfort the Hildebrand family after the loss of their 8-year-old daughter Daisy”.

Daisy was unvaccinated and died of measles. This was a preventable death, but Kennedy continues to undermine vaccines, cast doubt on their safety, and recommend vitamin A.

My evening thought is that I suspect a great many Americans, in the period after 1989, grew very used to a world in which it didn't matter *that* much who they elected (to them).

They had the rule of law, the most prosperous economy in human history, the long peace.

But it always mattered.
