This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

📖 Biographer Franklin Foer wrote that President Joe Biden was the West’s father figure, guiding world leaders against authoritarianism with calm and clarity. "He was a man for his age.”
History will rightly remember Biden as the leader who held the free world together.

The SEC just decided that it won't regulate memecoins as securities.
That's awfully convenient for President Trump, who launched a memecoin last month that has already generated nearly $100 million in trading fees for his family.

S.E.C. Declares Memecoins Are Not Subject to Oversight
The agency said the novelty digital assets were not securities, a month after President Trump issued his own memecoin.

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.
Every Democrat who lost in a district in 2024 should hold a town hall if those Republicans won't.

The mass firing of Inspectors General by the Trump Administration without grounds and advance notice to Congress is a clear violation of the law.
But, of course, we know the cause: Trump wants no accountability for malfeasance in office.
He is refilling the swamp.

We've identified ~$160 billion in annual subsidies we'd like to reallocate, at 10% annually to rewild the west. The <1% of our nations livestock on public land, don't need to be there. The 600,000 miles of abandoned barbed wire can go and with wildlife overpasses we'd begin to see wildlife recover.
