OOF -- Enten details how Trump went from +2 on Russia-Ukraine in 2024 to -33 (!) now, and how Zelenskyy polls among Americans at +13 compared to Trump's -18 (in other words, Zelenskyy is 31 points more popular in America than Trump!)

For all the talk of AfD gains in rural Niedersachsen, this candidate was re-elected with 90% of the vote in Hessisch Oldendorf.
Goes to show that we need to pay attention to the 70-75% anti-AfD vote in small towns and farming communities in North Germany as much as the 20-25% of AfD voters

“To leave no loopholes Hitler exacted from all officers and men of the armed forces an oath of allegiance—not to Germany, not to the constitution, which he had violated by not calling for the election of Hindenburg’s successor, but to himself.”

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Hello, BlueSky.
We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become.
If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
