I once met a Countrywide hedge trader. He told me they fired him once he started to make money. That was proof the end was near. Since there was no chance of surviving, they were cutting costs to squeeze out every penny. 2/2

A video appeared online that reportedly shows a Russian sapper who gets run over as he tries to warn other Russian soldiers about mines on the road.

Jeering at a genocide of a 40 million country and mocking defenders of that country who sacrifice their lives to protect their people. And that coming from a country who made a commitment to defend Ukraine (Budapest memorandum).

Very sad

"This is the best, most correct death"

A representative of the administration of the city of Zheleznogorsk in the Kursk region explained to the widow and three daughters of a soldier who died in the SMO that it is not so bad to be left without a father and husband.

Donald Trump has picked Project 2025 architect Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget.

In Trump's first term, Vought crafted budget proposals that recommended Social Security and Medicare cuts.

Your reminder that Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

They think they’ll be safer in a world where nuclear blackmail works and happens all the time. It’s not like they ever propose a solution where somehow we get so moral we stop doing it after it worked so well.
