In 2018, after the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki, I learned Russia wanted to interrogate me (and others) in exchange for US investigators questioning 12 Russian intelligence officers over electoral interference in 2016. The White House took nearly a day to reject the proposal.

By disrupting the global economic order, we are making Beijing look like the rational, prudent alternative. Impressions matter. Right now, our global reputation is tanking while Beijing reaps the rewards. Watch in full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZy3...

There's been one clear winner of Trump's war against Iran so far. Spoiler: It isn't Donald Trump.

So far, this trip feels heavy on pageantry and light on substance. Plenty of cordial exchanges, but few tangible deliverables. Maybe that changes tomorrow. But at the moment, Trump seems to view a good meeting with Xi as the goal itself.

For decades, arms control limited U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons. As of tomorrow, those limits are gone. That’s a bad outcome for everyone.

Putin’s war is a tragedy with no winners. Russia isn’t stronger, safer, or more prosperous for invading Ukraine. Its economy is deeply strained, emigration has accelerated, and its demographic crisis has intensified.

No matter how this war ends, Trump will claim victory. But most Americans still don’t know why we went to war or what the objectives are. Without clear goals, how can we measure success? We "obliterated" their nuclear program last year, so what threat justified war now?

Putin has lied his entire career. Yet Witkoff says we can take Russia “at their word” that they’re not sharing intelligence with Iran. Taking the Kremlin at face value while U.S. intelligence reportedly says otherwise is utterly incomprehensible and mind-boggling naive.

Alexei Navalny loved Russia and opposed Putin. Patriotism and dissent are not contradictions. Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent about its leaders. No one should be murdered for speaking out.

War, tariffs, and diplomacy shouldn’t hinge on what benefits Trump personally. They should come from institutions, debate, and democratic oversight—and be in America’s national interest.

Trump is “increasingly using desperate language and even considering desperate moves,” says @tparsi.bsky.social, because “according to the plan of those who sold this blockade idea to the Trump administration, Iran should have crumbled about 10 days ago, and it clearly has not happened."

$1.5 trillion for the military? 🤯 That budget is massive, but imagine if we pivoted that towards universal healthcare. We could fully fund primary care, eliminate medical debt, and lower prescription costs for every single person. 🏥💊 ​Is it time to prioritize our health over hardware? #health

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti are devastating tragedies and absolutely indefensible. We cannot let this spiral into more bloodshed. We need fair, thorough, unbiased investigations with local & state law enforcement fully involved. The truth must come out & people must be held accountable.

Most industries are commoditized. Being “good” isn’t enough. The way out is a clear niche and a proprietary approach that only you offer. That’s what makes you stand out and win.

With Dead by Daylight introducing The Krause, Im curious to see if we're able to adapt a similar theme with more "Southeat Asia" theme. Like imagine you were being chased by Pocong, Pontianak, or palasik in a dense jungle. That's what I see in Hantu and Hunted by Zeevium Games (Singapore) #indie
