So Marjorie Trailer Queen and Bill Donohue are tangling
"...Greene claimed that the Catholic Church was under satanic control during a recent interview with right-wing activist Michael Voris of the website Church Militant. After a clip of Greene's comments circulated online Wednesday, Catholic League President Bill Donohue argued that she had "slandered" Catholics and demanded that she apologize.
In a long statement shared on Twitter soon after, Greene quickly refused Donohue's demand for an apology, while issuing an apology demand of her own and accusing church leadership of satanic influence..."

Yes. Keep eating each other. 
More Ukrainians leaving Poland than arriving for first time since Russian invasion
"The number of people crossing from Poland into Ukraine has begun to exceed those travelling in the other direction for the first time since Russia’s invasion, after which Poland become the primary destination for those fleeing the war.
On Saturday, deputy interior minister Paweł Szefernaker noted that the previous two days had seen “fewer Ukrainians enter Poland than crossed to Ukraine”. That trend has since continued over Saturday and Sunday..."

Psaki bomb - heads up, Elon Musk
Speaker 2: (04:58)
Just a quick one on the breaking news, Twitter agreeing to let Elon Musk purchase, go through with this purchase. Do you have a response to that? And does the White House have any concern that this new agreement might have President Trump back on the platform?
Jen Psaki: (05:12)
Well, I’m not going to comment on a specific transaction. What I can tell you as a general matter, no matter who owns or runs Twitter, the President has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms. The power they have over our everyday lives has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause. He’s been a strong supporter of fundamental reforms to achieve that goal, including reforms to Section 230, enacting antitrust reforms, requiring more transparency and more. And he’s encouraged that there’s bipartisan interest in Congress. In terms of what hypothetical policies might happen, I’m just not going to speak to that at this point in time.

Seems to me there may be some clean up of Musk's swamp as needed. 
As Diplomacy Hopes Dim, U.S. Marshals Allies to Furnish Long-Term Military Aid to Ukraine
Vlad, take note - we are all in for the long haul 
"The United States marshaled 40 allies on Tuesday to furnish Ukraine with long-term military aid in what could become a protracted battle against the Russian invasion, and Germany said it would send dozens of armored antiaircraft vehicles. It was a major policy shift for a country that had wavered over fear of provoking Russia.
The announcement by Germany, Europe’s biggest economy and one of Russia’s most important Western trading partners, was among many signals on Tuesday pointing to further escalation in the war and disappointment for diplomacy..."

'Roe is dead': Ohio and Kentucky abortion laws preview a future without it
"...But if Roe is still the law of the land – and it is – why are so many people in so many states behaving as if it’s gone?
Because activists on both sides believe it soon will be.
“This is the last few months of Roe,” said Tamarra Wieder, state director of Kentucky’s Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates. “We fully anticipate it will fall.”
“Roe is dead,” said Janet Folger Porter, the activist who helped create Ohio’s “heartbeat bill,” which would ban abortion after detection of a fetal heartbeat. “It’s the best news no one knows.”
Those predictions come as the most conservative Supreme Court in generations considers whether to weaken or dismantle Roe v. Wade when it rules in June on a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks..."

WTF? How can they just roll ahead like this???
We are playing the long game in Ukraine, Vlad
“We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” Austin said at the news conference. “So it has already lost a lot of military capability. And a lot of its troops, quite frankly. And we want to see them not have the capability to very quickly reproduce that capability.”

This will not just be a short term defeat. This conflict is weakening Russia and that will cripple their ability to try it again anytime soon.
TFG says he won't return to Twitter if Space Karen reverses ban
Donald Trump told CNBC on Monday he wouldn’t return to Twitter even if Elon Musk, the company’s incoming owner, reversed the former president’s ban.“No, I won’t be going back on Twitter,” Trump told CNBC’s Joe Kernen.
“I will be on Truth Social within the week. Its on schedule. We have a lot of people signed up. I like Elon Musk. I like him a lot. He’s an excellent individual. We did a lot for Twitter when I was in the White House. I was disappointed by the way I was treated by Twitter. I won’t be going back on Twitter,” he said...

Concede Twitter to Elon Muck? Fuck that.
A lot of people get what little news they do from places like Twitter. That sucks, but it's how it is. We need a left perspective on there, now more than ever.
And selfishly, I don't want to miss any of the great tweets we see come across this forum.
Take the bastard on. In his backyard.
Russian General Lets Slip a Secret Plan to Invade Another Country
"As Russian troops tighten their grip on the strategic port town of Mariupol, their strategy is finally becoming clear. Russian military commander Rustam Minnekaev now says the second phase of President Vladimir Putin’s “special operation” is focused on establishing a “land corridor” from the Donbas all the way to Moldova, which would cut off the rest of Ukraine from the sea.
“One of the tasks of the Russian army is to establish full control over the Donbas and southern Ukraine. This will provide a land corridor to the Crimea, as well as influence the vital objects of the Ukrainian economy,” Minnekaev said Friday at a meeting with the Union of Defense Industries, as reported by the Russian state-owned Interfax. “Control over the south of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria, where there are also facts of oppression of the Russian-speaking population.” Transnistria is a separatist region of Moldova that has so far not been officially involved in the war despite hosting a Russian military base since the 1990s.
The general’s words suggest that Moldova’s sovereign borders would also come under threat from further Russian expansion. Phony efforts to protect Russian-speaking peoples have often foreshadowed Putin’s imperial invasions."
