Ah yes, the old “this attack is no big deal” while at the same time its “a horrible attack on Russia’s defense capabilities that will probably start WWIII”. They really should get their messaging straight.

A reminder that the remarkable Spider Web Op began its planning phase over a year and a half ago — while Biden and the US were still supporting Ukraine.

Huge Black eye for Trump, and hopeful shot in the arm for congressional Rs.

Glory to Ukraine ✊

Isn't there some kind of saying about eating dessert on a sinking ship?

Tangentially, looks like there are some significant cracks developing in the MAGA bubble. Muskrat claims to be against it because of the increased budget deficit, but apparently what really bugs him is the phase-out for EV tax credits, while oil and gas credits remain. Once you get past the whole "government efficiency" facade, he's just another greedy $billionaire.

MTG is also now whining that had she bothered to have someone on her staff read the bill (doubtful that she herself ever reads anything besides GtR), she would have noted the provision that states will not be permitted to regulate AI for 10 years (apparently Rump is also into that, as well as bitcoin). she claims that she wouldn't have voted for it (unlikely) and says that when it comes back from the Senate, if that provision is still in it, she will vot against.

Perhaps even the Craziest of the Craziest are beginning to realize that next to Rump, they look sane!

tRump should be happy about the raid, since he's probably heavily invested in Tupelov stock.

Whether it’s Ukraine with its drones or San Diego with its citizens shouting “Shame! Shame!” at ICE invaders, people are starting to say, To hell with fear. The fight is on.
