Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

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

The pair of common dolphins in the East River are continuing today off 96th St in Manhattan

Good news: At long last, I found out where they make the moose

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops”

DOGE in practice: Disabled Army veteran who has 4 kids and did 3 tours overseas is fired from his job at Bronx VA hospital

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back the Putin invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and

BREAKING: At least two people are dead after a midair collision involving two small planes in southern Arizona, authorities said. apnews.com/article/arizon…

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

I'm finding myself commenting less on politics on this platform lately, mostly because my audience is hockey twitter and it's not worth the headaches. I can't in good conscience leave this one alone though. When Zelenskyy famously said "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition"

Just a reminder: the US is not Castro's Cuba, Putin's Russia, or Xi's China. At any moment the GOP could unite and oppose Trump and create a crisis for him. Their cowardice has been astounding but they can still act without being put in a Gulag or shot.

2. Across social media, Ukrainians are in utter shock at how Trump treated Zelenskyy and are convinced that he is in bed with Putin. People in Ukraine have long been very critical of Zelenskyy and his opposition are lining up to campaign against him. This is true. But they all

Who pays Trump's new tariffs? Spoiler alert: it's not Canada, Mexico, or China. It's YOU.

Proud to be one of almost 250 people (fmr/current employees & contractors) to sign this open letter to National Geographic, asking them to push back against unprecedented attacks on science and to bring attention to those affected & the essential work being lost.

SCOOP: A leaked memo reveals a huge list of terms banned by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, including “climate,” “vulnerable,” and “safe drinking water.” The department is responsible for monitoring crops to make sure they are not diseased and can be used for food.

Tariffs can be used as a tool to protect American industries. But tariffs on their own do not magically create more American jobs or lead to more U.S. production. Trump's careless "Liberation Day" tariffs will result in a massive transfer of wealth to the very top.

Today marks a significant escalation in Trump's authoritarian attack: 1. Openly defying a 9-0 SCOTUS decision 2. Arguing they not only should but must leave an innocent man to be tortured for life in El Salvador. 3. Openly declaring intent to also send American citizens to

balloons are bad, sadly one time i saw thousands of balloons above Douglas, AZ, no doubt released some party or some such... just floating off to become deadly pollution somewhere else

This is all you need to know about the Supreme Court’s ruling in the birthright citizenship case: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.”
