BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence in a 52-48 vote. Mitch McConnell was the only Republican to vote no.
Gabbard is known for defending Putin and his war against Ukraine (Russian state TV calls her โour girlfriend Tulsiโ for a reason), supporting Bashar al-Assad, and backing traitors like Edward Snowden.
A shameful day for the US Senate

Do we possess the basic common sense โ for the sake of our country, our most classified materials, and our intelligence professionals โ to vote down Tulsi Gabbard? We will soon find out.
The United States is now officially, clinically insane.๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a complete capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin and undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine and Europe. A major blow to U.S. national security.
Great, but where does the Trump casino and golf course go?๐ค

No country in Europe does more to stifle honest discussion of Israel/Palestine than Germany. It took five months for @Zeit to publish this interview. But it's finally out. Below, our exchange on Israeli apartheid and colonialism.

Australia need never experience the 'cultural cringe' ever again. This was some really weird shit.

Look, you bibulous waste of space, the US isn't a reliable partner in anything, after creating Vichy Ukraine, where war crimes and crimes against humanity will be carried out with abandon. Trump is a loser of the highest (lowest?) order. That's your Legacy, too.

The lesson that Moscow, Beijing, and every other US adversary will take from this is that the US will back down in the end. That's very good news for them, not so much for the US.

The US now runs the serious risk of looking to Russia and China as if it's weaker than Russia. That may or may not bother everyone making decisions in the Trump administration, but it should certainly bother any American who cares about the security and future of their country.

In every other developed democracy abolished its official government aid & development agency, the Christian & other religious NGOs would be apoplectic with rage. The silence of American evangelicals & NGOs is another example of its decent into fascism.
