Despite FOX’s insinuation, this is not in fact, Paradise City.

Now that Trump is becoming an even more truculent Putin ally, the question is whether the CIA will terminate (or has terminated) all intelligence sharing with Ukraine, including re Russian refinery infrastructure.

OMG you are the sweetest person ever! Thank you so much. I love being able to chat with Kimberly; it's more like just chilling with your friend than a podcast, which I think makes it more fun and low key

ICYMI, great statement by former VP Mike Pence about Trump's betrayal of Ukraine. Scandal there's no one else left in Republican Party able to say it out loud.

President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin's ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey
Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin's war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin's war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin's war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn't want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia's military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

The biggest loser here, Scott, is the Ukrainian people, the people who will be murdered with the dollars Putin is earning from selling diesel to the U.S., and people you pretended to care about when you stated in your confirmation hearing how critical sanctions are and how they must be extended.

Pretty sure rural America and, especially West Virginia, agrees

Even Republicans want accountability for Trump admin’s shady money moves

Here's what Trump judge Gary Brown said in a filing ON MONDAY about Brenan Cuni, who almost shot a kid in NYC.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

After the Court required a further submission to explain this incongruity,
respondents submitted an affidavit from Brenden Cuni, a Supervisory Detention and
Deportation Officer with ICE, who was responsible for conducting the background
searches. DE 20-7. Cuni was notified “some time before 5:50 PM” that “Petitioner was detained.” Id. ¶3. He searched five separate federal databases, all of which “yielded
negative results.” Id. ¶5 (emphasis added). Cuni then “issued and signed the I-200,
Warrant of Arrest, and checked off the boxes relating to ‘biometric confirmation of the
subject’s identity and a records check of federal databases . . . .’” Id. Of course, since the
records checks were negative, it was undeniably false, though represented as true in the
warrant, that “biometric confirmation [and] records check of federal databases
affirmatively indicate” that the petitioner lacked immigration status. DE 7-1. Cuni
explains that ICE then processed the petitioner, and in so doing, entered his data into
those various databases. After processing (and after the warrant was signed and
executed), Cuni ordered another officer to run “a second records check of the electronic
federal databases, which then yielded positive results . . . because Petitioner’s information
was now part of the system.” DE 20-7 ¶7 (emphasis added).

Nope, you can’t force me to oay attention to David French, nuh uh. The shadow docket isn’t being used the way it is because of executive actions. It’s a choice to use it the way SCOTUS is, it’s not “in reaction” as if they have no choice. False. And Trump overreach isn’t similar to DACA or Biden EO

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

In Broadview 6 case, Judge Perry suggested the government was being "truthy" in their statements about directions they had from Main DOJ. 😂

Is it your position that statement is true, or is it your position that statement is truthy because there are privileged communications of this nature? MR. WHALEN: Our position is that is true when tied back to the opening of the paragraph where it says, no one -- excuse me -- There was no communications about influence or interference by anyone outside the USAO. And so this statement is true as it relates to precharging decisions, Your Honor. THE COURT: But possibly untrue as it relates to things that happened after the decision was made?
