The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Andor s2 e9 was amazing TV. Mon stands against the emperor's sycophants in the Senate at great personal risk to herself. A rare case of a compelling story predicting reality in real time. Go watch it quickly before the ISB cuts the feed.

‘America First’ Is a Lie
America has *always* been about putting America first. Trump’s “America First” movement is about something else entirely.
