*One US official told The New York Times the Biden administration is working to help send tanks to Ukraine.
*The move comes as Ukrainian President Zelenskyy continues to ask the West for tanks and planes.
*The tanks are intended to help Ukrainian forces defend the eastern Donbas region, the official said.


One question I have is if Ukraine's allies are willing to support and supply something that looks like a complete military victory. Or if at this point you believe there's no way Russia allows that to happen....it's time to put on a full-court press for a deal. As painful as that would be for the brave Ukrainians.

No one wants to wake up weeks or months from now and hear that Putin has fired off an unconventional weapon trying to end a stalemate. That brings a whole new set of decisions for the West.

And we thought the 18 minute tape gap for Nixon was bad.

In response to reporting that the committee is investigating whether Trump used personal disposable phones to communicate that day, the former president reportedly said in a statement on Monday that he had “no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term.”

"Stormy Daniels? Who? What's a porn star? I've never even heard of pornography. I just have missionary position sex with my wife, drink a diet Coke and go to bed."

Oh so his preference is to use phones that wouldn't be recorded on the record.

Whew. Here I thought he was up to no good!

Not much different than what the Orange man said to kick off his campaign in 2015.

This doesn’t end with him out of power, plenty more to pick up his racist fascist slack

Don’t legitimize illegitimate people any further by sharing their content.

it's republican doctrine now. they can be upset by that all they want - but they had an opportunity to exorcise all of this and instead they embraced it, or at best, ignored it in the name of power.

Give him credit for being honest, but it’s also perfect example (of many) on how and why our government is broken.

Two party system and only one party actually tries to govern and make lives reasonably better. The other party only wants power

Every election going forward for probably a long time is going to be between a democracy or autocracy.

It doesn’t feel sustainable but maybe we keep these assholes at bay long enough for something better to arise

I know, don’t spread the bullshit

But this is a sitting member of Congress, accusing three senators of her own party as being “pro pedo”

Every week the bar keeps getting lowered and the world is watching as this country turns into a fucking 4chan message board.

At what point does the GQP discipline someone like this ? How can anyone (on either side) accept this behavior ?

even the republicans know that marge is nuts.

BEAL, what do you think about Elon Musk taking a role at Twitter?

[BEAL]

I think hiring a troll will only make the platform worse.

Elon complains about free speech, but Twitter is a private business. I do think there are some conversations and delicacies/nuances to be had over the platform.

I think it was worth banning Trump, and i think any sort of account or language that fosters hate and causes harm should not be allowed.

Rumor is Elon will allow those banned accounts back.

Other than MAGA!!!! Who thinks having Trump back online to spew who the fuck knows what is a good thing ?

He was banned for inciting a terrorist attack on our nations capital, can’t wait to see what he tells his insane followers to do next !! Covfefe

elon musk bought 10% of twitter and because of that purchase now controls one board seat.

he's not capable of bringing trump back to twitter on his own. full stop.

giving him a board seat actually prevents him from owning more than 15% of the company - which is likely why they did it. to prevent a hostile takeover.

all the talk of "ehrmagad elahn gunna choonge tweeter und breng beck drump" is, ironically, twitter's biggest problem - utter bullshit not based in any actual reality.

Youve miscalculated Elon Musk if you think that’s something he cares about.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'm merely countering the conflicting freak-outs from the over paranoid left and the over excited trolly right.

[BEAL]

Was going off of what people assumed is the point of him making the purchase. Feel like his $ could be better spent

Speaking of $, Manchin really fucked over the Dems on this one

It would be better if Trump were on Twitter.

His every utterance is so increasingly deranged, it needs more exposure to be more widely discredited.

Also, really telling that Republicans in Tennessee think the best way to protect children is to make it easier for much older men to marry them, Roy Moore-style.
