I hope we find out who and why. Haven't seen yet myself. Either way, look at that attempted face saving by our ambassador. Like a hawk, waiting for a moment to go, "Look our dumbass president can't make us sacrifice you, rest assured guys." Sad position to be in.
At least five people have been killed and about a dozen more injured in a shooting at Krakow’s Main Market Square in Poland today, according to Polish police. A gunman drove into the square, a major tourist area in the city’s historic center, and opened fire. Authorities have neutralized the shooter. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said police are investigating and that he is being updated by the interior ministry. U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose posted a statement to X saying, in part, that "America stands with Poland at this dark hour as Poland stands with her beloved citizens of Krakow. May the blessed memory of those lost today assuage the grief of those who mourn." The U.S. State Department also issued a security alert for U.S. citizens to avoid the area.

Murder every Russian official and soldier that lives.
An utterly horrific Russian attack on the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. Since this morning, the settlement has been hit several times by aerial bombs. The strikes targeted a school used for humanitarian purposes – people were receiving humanitarian aid there. After the first aerial bomb strike, there was a double-tap strike with nine more bombs, specifically targeting the shelter where people were taking cover. Tragically, 18 people have already been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Five people have been injured. A rescue operation is underway at the site, and the search for people continues. It is extremely difficult. Military forces, first responders, and special services are involved. The Russians could not have been unaware that every week, local residents who had remained in Komyshuvakha received humanitarian aid at that very location. And this is further proof that Russia wants no de-escalation and no real justice. After the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, there was a moment when the next steps could have shown that progress toward peace was possible. With these killings, Russia is sending an entirely opposite signal: Russia is counting on more killings. There must be a response to this – a response from the world. A strong and tough response. A response to Russia. And support for Ukraine. We must protect lives. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

"Russiagate was a hoax, Don didn't deal with Russians!" The president then begins to sell Alaska from under the Americans who voted for him, back to Russia.
US energy company execs have resigned in disgust as the Trump family is caught secretly expediting the funneling of $25 billion from a sanctioned Russian energy giant in exchange for allowing Russians to obtain a natural gas project in Alaska. According to investigations by The New York Times and Financial Times, Russia's Novatek allegedly concealed its financial involvement in the American project through a UAE-linked intermediary. Gentry Beach, a longtime Trump ally and close friend of Donald Trump Jr., signed an agreement with Novatek to pursue natural gas development in Alaska. Reuters documented the arrangement in February. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin discussed this cooperation on the Alaska energy project with Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, during negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine. The controversy deepened when Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, raised concerns about concealed Russian financing and possible sanctions violations. He departed in September, followed by other senior executives. The Financial Times also described discussions about a potential arrangement under which Novatek would provide technology for the Alaska project in exchange for sanctions relief benefiting its Arctic LNG 2 development in Siberia. According to The New York Times, Riddle and two other departing executives warned the Trump administration about the Russian financing and urged officials to investigate. The White House maintains that the project was mentioned only briefly and that no detailed discussions took place. There is no established evidence that Kushner or Witkoff knew about the allegedly concealed financing. Polar Train LNG denies wrongdoing. The central question is how a sanctioned Russian energy company became involved in a major American energy venture while Putin was discussing potential economic cooperation with Trump's representatives and a longtime Trump family associate was pursuing a separate agreement with the same Russian company. Selling Alaska to the Russians or selling Ukraine to the Russians - to the Trump family it's all the same. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

If an attempt to allow Russia economic access to our nation is made, it should be prevented by force. Russians cannot be allowed to access ANYTHING of ours. If a bridge is made, a pipeline built between here and them, it should be smashed by any means necessary, they should get NOTHING from us. The people of Alaska should ensure this.

Hopium but I want to believe.
Rumors everywhere that new polling for Republicans has dropped off a cliff after the Ramaswamy/Vance/Trump fiasco in Ohio. North Carolina and Georgia are gone. Alaska, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio nearly gone. And Maine,Texas, Iowa, and Kansas are teetering on the brink. Voters are angry..

I keep watching Euros make the same exact arguments American leftists did about burnt businesses and the like in 2020. It's actually scary how it's literally just happening the same way and will basically guarantee fascists an in.
Amidst another work up to a weekend of protests, following protest that turned to violent rioting and looting across France, French President Emmanuel Macron has said that he will convene an emergency security meeting in anticipation of this weekend’s protests. French police have vowed to respond preemptively in force this time with a more robust response expected should protests turn violent.

Reuters image copyright claims on old blogsites need to be fucking made illegal. "We bought rights to these old images, you wanna use them? Pay thousands, also we wiped all internet archives of your posts." Fuck them, I hope copyright bullshit is turbofucked soon.

Our Dementor in Chief agrees
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: “I am convinced that Iran’s cause, like Russia’s, is just.”

"We gave the president the right to tariff anyone, but ALSO the right to end sanctions on Russia."
With House passage of the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, House and Senate Republicans are placing maximum pressure on Vladimir Putin and the Russian war machine. This legislation strengthens economic sanctions against the Russian government, its financial institutions, and the foreign governments that aid Russian aggression against Ukraine by purchasing cheap Russian oil and gas and helping the Kremlin evade other sanctions. For too long, Putin has bankrolled this devastating war with money and resources from countries willing to look the other way, and today, that ends. This bill sends a powerful message of American unity and gives the Administration every tool in the toolbox to help bring this war to a just end, and we are proud to send it to the President’s desk.

ANY COMPANY WHO IMPORTS ANY SHOULD FACE ACTUAL FUCKING CONSEQUENCES. Not a fine, not shame, ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES.
Following U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s announcement on Russian diesel exports, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) has issued General License NO. 135, “Authorizing Transactions Related to the Sale, Delivery, Offloading, and Importation of Diesel Fuel of the Russian Federation.” Per the OFAC license issuance, the walk back of these Russian related sanctions will last until 12:01 am eastern daylight time, April 7, 2027, a 6 month period.

Pretty convenient For JQ that the mechanism for fighting "American Socialism" is old fashioned socialism. You know, nationalizations, removal of foreign money and influence, a strong single-party state, massive state industries, and a cadre of idealist loyalists, Beefsteak shit.
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Basically anyone who ever had links to these people are on their payroll or agree with their position willingly. They absolutely MUST be removed from government in every way. They should be blacklisted, these agents of foreign regimes should be treated as traitors.
Unbelievable: CBS just uncovered this image of White House COS Susie Wiles' lobbyist daughter posing with the Interior Minister of the pro-Russian authoritarian government of Republika Srpska. Is the entirety of Trumpworld on Serbian payroll?

Safety means no guns, but also no automated cars, apparently.

The same kind of people who tell you it's none of our business what happens to Ukraine, are the same kind of people who'd hear a woman screaming for help and say, "That don't concern me, or you so don't worry about it."

HAHAHAHA!
The Canadian family that was conned by Kremlin propaganda into selling all their assets and moving to Russia under the "traditional values" visa is now facing a dilemma after months of finding off pressure to sign a military contract. After investing their life savings into cosplaying an episode of 1980's American hit TV show "Little House on the Prairie", the family's patriarch now faces the choice of becoming wormfood in a Ukrainian trench or attempting a return to Canada.
