It would be more than a little ironic if Trump's CNN/MS NOW/Politico tantrum (and the resulting lack of coverage the entire WHCA is going to provide) is what finally educates the press about the extent to which Trump needs *them* even more than they need him.

What’s stopping Putin from continuing his occupation with one or two million soldiers after a big or small pause?

What security guarantees do we have? There's no clear answer for us that Putin will not try again to occupy Ukraine.

CNN: There was one idea where you might potentially concede the remainder of Donbas in order to get lasting peace. Does that concession seem possible to you?

ZELENSKYY: No. The problem is future security for Ukraine. The key question is, why won’t Putin come again to occupy us?

In 2012, California started adopting major progressive criminal justice reforms. Since then, the state has seen historic drops in crime, with homicide now at historic lows.

Remember this when right-wing propagandists screech about crime in Democratic states.

Just sent out. The USA seems to have committed war crime deliberately and openly, by destroying civilian access to water as summer approaches. It is strategically idiotic and morally repulsive--and needs to be acknowledged if the US has a chance to recover. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The deeper lesson of the Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act is not that we must fight back. It’s that people have been fighting all along – and all alone.

“Black voters in Louisiana didn’t need this ruling to tell them what was at stake,” Joe Kennedy III writes.
To protect voting rights after Callais, we need to invest in red states
The deeper lesson of Callais is not just that we must fight back. It's that the people who actually live in these states have been fighting all along and all alone.

🇺🇦🙏 Zelensky: It is now known that at least 83 people have been injured since the beginning of the day. Unfortunately, there are fatalities. My condolences to the relatives and friends. Most of the hits were in Kyiv, and Kyiv was the main target of this Russian attack.

Putin can no longer pronounce the word "hurray" properly - he mumbles - and still struck residential buildings with his missiles.

Three Russian missiles against a water supply facility, market, residential buildings, several ordinary schools. Launched his "Oreshnik" against Bila Tserkva.

“Ultimately, this story also helps explain the sordid political economy of MAGA fascism…For instance, the massive scaling up of ICE…functions as "an employment program for the Trumpenproletarian mob," as a key component of the ‘class composition of actually existing fascism.’” #NoFascistUSA
This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization."
