An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders. “But not this guy,” he added. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them.’” https://t.co/DfwBvY7JCP

The pursuit of Mark Kelly in the military justice system sends a clear message to service members and veterans.

It was a Russian plan all along. To trade away our national interests for a fading, brittle regime whose economy is smaller than most major European economies and whose ambitions are openly hostile to us is indefensible. I do not know where we go from here.

And here comes the Ruble devaluation, which Putin will deny until an hour AFTER it happens.. Other than Putin, the most powerful man in Russian banking, Herman Gref today stated that the ruble is overvalued by approximately 34% and should be weakened to around 105 rubles per

Witkoff showed the Russian team how to block Trump's planned transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, ahead of Zelensky's White House trip. And it worked. Now Trump is defending him.

The BBC's has responded in The Guardian that this was a routine editorial decision, but also that it was made on legal advice. Those two explanations don’t fit together. The edit was made at the last minute, after editorial approval and four weeks after the live recording. A
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This genius held a highly classified discussion with Putin's key foreign policy advisor on an unencrypted GSM line. Can't believe after 10 years of us basing our most damning investigations on cell phone data, these idiots are still doing it. Here's to never learning.

Students confronted @TiceRichard over the Nathan Gill Russia bribery scandal. Will asked, “Persuade me it’s not worrying you didn’t spot a Russian bribe-taker in your own ranks.” “And top of that is the fact, the fact you blatantly lied to the Times Magazine in March, saying

The longer I talk about science online, the more obvious it becomes: Most voices aren’t curious. They’re copies. 🔁 Same fear slogans. ⚠️ Same myths repeated. 🤖 Zero reading. Zero thinking. If you’re one of the rare humans who actually wants evidence over fear…Say hi!

🚨I’m going through these transcripts and honestly don’t even know what to call the “craziest part,” because every line is insane. Witkoff wasn’t acting like a U.S. envoy to Russia — he was acting like a Russian intelligence asset who somehow infiltrated the White House. And now

So a top US envoy, was giving advice to a foreign adversary, that helped advance the interests of that adversary instead of the US. This is criminal espionage and treason. I don’t even like Trump but a US envoy should be advancing his agenda, not telling adversaries how to

Civilian body parts. Dead fireman where I was just standing. Torture chambers with sodomy tools. Block after block, every family raped. Every dog burned alive. How did America, through Witkoff, become one of THEM? On THEIR side? Helping THEM? My soul screams in this moment.

1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in. It’s darker than that. Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline. A thread 🧵

A great article in @ForeignAffairs about the "toothless" Trump sanctions on Russian oil, that people have been getting wrong. China is still buying lots of oil, and without secondary sanctions, this will protect Moscow.
foreignaffairs.com
Last month, the Trump administration imposed fresh sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, signaling a renewed desire to drive Moscow to the negotiating table in its war...

Bovino’s body-cam just blew up his whole story. The judge said it flat out: he lied. Footage shows agents provoking fights, firing gas first, and even using AI to fabricate reports. Trump’s “law and order” crew caught red-handed manufacturing chaos.

For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.
Here is the full transcript of Witkoff working directly for the war criminals Russia. It's like giving help to the Nazis to take France in WWII. @SenatorWicker @SASCGOP @RepDonBacon @RepFitzpatrick this cannot stand: https://t.co/IpA0SeoWaL
