The greatest danger is not realizing the greatest danger. I wrote "The Conspiracy to End America: Five Ways My Old Party Is Driving Democracy to Autocracy" as a plea to grasp the true danger facing America. I hope you will consider pre-ordering to help spread this warning. bit.ly/3EMFCfP

This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms. What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. nytimes.com/2026/09/24/busin…

It's beyond embarrassing. Historically, Republicans have been tougher on Russia than Democrats have been. In 2012, Mitt Romney called Russia our #1 geopolitical foe, and Obama mocked him for it. He said word for word during the debate: “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back." Republicans were right then. Yet somehow, a huge chunk of Republican voters and some MAGA politicians have completely flipped a switch on this. It's called propaganda. Russia has mastered it. People forget that in 2024, the DOJ caught Russian state media secretly funneling $10 million to some of the biggest right-wing influencers (Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Tim Pool, etc.). Pay attention to the people pushing pro-Russia narratives; they are not acting in America’s best interest.

Russian soldiers tortured a 3-year-old boy and forced him to watch them sexually assault and kill his mother during the occupation of Kherson.

She was lying there, raped, her neck broken, with a noose around her neck. Beside her hung her 3-year-old son. When they took him down from the rope, he was blue and no longer breathing. But then a miracle happened. And what this child said a year later will break your heart. June 20, 2022. Kherson region, an occupied village. At two in the morning, the wife of a Ukrainian serviceman managed to message her husband that someone was breaking down the door to their home. His sister arrived an hour later. The gate was locked, so she climbed over the fence. The door had been ripped from its frame, and a window was smashed. Nothing had been stolen. They had not come to rob them. They had come to kill. In the room, her sister-in-law was lying on the couch, undressed and brutally beaten. Her head was twisted unnaturally, her neck was broken, and there was a noose around her neck. She was 28. Beside her hung her three-year-old son. He had also been beaten, with about a dozen cigarette burns on his face. The rope was pulled so tightly around his neck that the woman tore her fingernails bloody trying to untie it. The child was blue. His head was swollen from edema. He was no longer breathing. The woman screamed at him: “Breathe! Live! Because I won’t be able to live with this — I’ll lie down beside you and die too.” She performed CPR on him. She was afraid she would break his ribs — she didn’t. And he began to breathe. He had watched his mother being killed. And she had watched her child being tortured. The window had been broken — people nearby had heard what was happening, but no one admitted it. Then came three weeks in occupied Kherson. The woman waited for the burns and the rope mark around the child’s neck to heal. What had not healed, she covered with makeup so they would not be recognized and killed immediately. At the hospital, they warned her: “If they try to detain you, run. Half the hospital is occupied by FSB officers.” To get the boy out, the woman forged documents directly on her phone using Photoshop. She was taking him out as if he were her own son. Thirty checkpoints lay ahead. At one of them, a rifle was pressed against her temple. One Russian said, “Get rid of these two.” Another replied, “No, I’ve had enough for today.” The first said, “I’m fine with it.” He was wearing a wedding ring. Perhaps a wife and children were waiting for him at home. And he was perfectly fine with killing a woman and a child sitting in a car. Three days on the road. The woman pressed the pedals with one leg because the other had become paralyzed. At a filtration checkpoint, a young officer asked whether anyone in the car had survived torture. She said: “Yes.” Is anyone injured? — Yes. Has anyone been tortured? — Yes. When she pointed to the three-year-old child, the officer began to cry. He could not continue the conversation. In Odesa, doctors diagnosed the boy with clinical death, asphyxia, cerebral edema, a damaged wrist joint, a jaw injury, and eight broken teeth. He stopped speaking — his muscles had atrophied. His speech development was set back by a year. They now live in Odesa. The boy speaks again, goes swimming, attends kindergarten, and works with a speech therapist. He knows that his mother is gone. A year after the tragedy, he went outside one evening, pointed his little finger toward the sky, and said: “Moon, sky, Mommy.” The boy’s father is a serviceman. When they arrived in Odesa, he met them deeply devastated. He was able to stay with them for two weeks — as long as his command allowed. “He could have left the military and become his son’s guardian. But he didn’t. Because he is a patriot. Because he continues to fight,” she said. And after the liberation of the left bank of the Kherson region, there will be many more. Source: translated from the original text by Oleh Bairak.

Right after winning her opening match at the WTA 500 tournament in Singapore, Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova used her post-match interview to draw attention to the humanitarian catastrophe in Oleshky, a Ukrainian city temporarily occupied by Russia. “Please, Google about Oleshky,” she told the audience. Around 2,000 people, including around 50 children, remain in Oleshky under Russian occupation. The city has no electricity or gas, while residents face severe shortages of food, medicine, and other essentials. Ukraine and international humanitarian organisations are ready to provide life-saving assistance and help evacuate civilians. But Russia continues to block these efforts – and every day without humanitarian access puts more lives at risk. Do not stay silent about Oleshky.

Great to catch up with Tim. If you aren’t familiar with Tim’s background, he was a First Round Republican operative draft pick, a real conservative. And when our party became Donald Trump, he never flinched. Walked away from a very successful career for a completely uncertain future because it was the right thing to do. Love seeing how he’s found the wide audience he deserves. Even if he’s an LSU fan. Hotty Toddy.

Thank you for this incredible honor.

BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Admiral William McRaven, who led the raid to take out Bin Laden, just slammed Trump and gave an inspiring vision for the nation's future. Every American needs to watch this.

They are simply not humans. They are vile disgraces to the civil world. Every single one should be castrated. Barbaric. Pure evil. I am beyond words.

Reminder to those who apparently don't know: the Kennedy Center was financially robust, with many private donors, before this administration undermined it, chased out the National Symphony, Washington Opera and others. Trump has forced it into bankruptcy out of sheer vanity.

And - What should our response be? It’s pretty simple. Arm Ukraine to the teeth and give them everything possible to kill more Russians. Body bags. It’s the only language that Moscow understands. So this may sound harsh, but if we go down the usual tired route of closing buildings, sanctions, PNGs, etc., etc. – just doesn’t cut it.

As Putin has control of Belarus by controlling a single man, and as he's paralyzed the US by purchasing a single family, he intends to do the same with France through ownership of Le Pen and Germany through AFD. Then drive the continent into final chaos as Moscow moves on to military objectives of rebuilding the USSR.

Russian forces have been sending jet-powered drones into Dnipro throughout the day. One struck a shopping mall. It’s the weekend, when families, children are out shopping. Attacking a place where civilians gather is an act of terror. It’s a fucking war crime 🤬

"President Reagan called the Soviet Union an 'evil empire,' and all hell broke loose." That was in 1983. We could use some strong truth-telling today. I have an article on this subject, for your consideration. thenextmove.org/p/facing-evi…

Excellent by @GLandsbergis The rest of Europe has just experienced its last “peaceful” Summer if we can’t acknowledge now that Russia is conducting a War against the West and impose the hard consequences on the Kremlin to stop it.

Rape of girls as young as 4 and women as old as 82. Routine genital electrocution of male Ukrainian prisoners. This is just a fragment of the absolutely nightmarish stuff from the just-released UN report on sexual violence in Russia's invasion of Ukraine: • Violations detailed in the report include rape, gang rape, genital mutilation, electric shocks, and genital beating • Russian forces are responsible for the vast majority of sexual violence in Ukraine • The majority of victims are Ukrainian men. In a common form of torture against Ukrainian POWs detailed in the report, Russian forces electrocuted men's genitals using tasers or a Soviet-era military field telephone known as a 'tapik.' • Women and children, primarily in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian forces, also fell victim to rapes and sexual assault. The youngest documented rape survivor was a four-year-old girl, and the oldest was an 82-year-old woman, with both cases perpetrated by Russian forces. kyivindependent.com/abhorren…

This might be the best cfb hype video ever. The fact that Morgan Freeman is narrating too 🔥

This is Odesa after a Russian attack today‼️ ​Russia struck an 11-story building, and when firefighters arrived and started their work, Russia struck it again. ​10 people were injured, including 2 firefighters. ​At the time of the first attack, people were in a shelter, which saved their lives. ​Again, this is a big city on Friday, in broad daylight. This is terrorism.
