New: Sen Mitch McConnell slams Pentagon for failing to spend #Ukraine aid passed by Congress: “Appropriators fully funded that authorization for fiscal 2026 with overwhelming support,” he wrote in The Washington Post. “Yet the Ukraine aid we passed months ago is now collecting dust at the Pentagon.”

Vindictive prosecution is a violation of a defendant’s Fifth Amendment right to due process, occurring when a prosecutor files harsher charges or new charges against a defendant in retaliation for exercising constitutional or statutory rights. It is a legally prohibited action driven by malice or revenge rather than legitimate legal grounds.

The ones who remain are the true G's. We move in silence like lasagna.

1 The King’s speech rebuked all that Trump stands for. His support for NATO made clear several times, his concern for the poor as well as the rich, and his focus on the environment were the main talking points. Whether Trump got it or not we’ll never know, but Congress, who gave

He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress: • NATO was there for USA after 9/11 • British Troops did fight in Afghanistan • Ukraine needs our help now • executive power must be subject to checks & balances • ice-caps are melting • America’s natural wonders need protecting

Will the ballroom keep the Secret Service from accidentally shooting each other?

So let me get this straight: in Trump’s America, a guy can post a picture of seashells that spell out "8647” and get indicted for threatening, while a guy who fires a bullet in the head of a protester at point blank range gets a pass? What a fucked up country.

Todd Blanche is one of the Top 10 most corrupt, unethical people to ever serve in a Trump admin and that is against extremely fierce competition.

@IngrahamAngle Now you have a pair of kings, a pair of jokers and a sad lonely old queen

@gtconway3d @crushtheracists @realDonaldTrump He's sitting there right now and can't figure out what kind of "cart" his "MAGA" cult has???

I would pay big bucks to see a White House reporter ask @realDonaldTrump, "Mr. President, sir, what do you think of the Magna Carta?"

Kyle Kulinski on Trump crying about Jimmy Kimmel’s joke: “We are not fucking doing this anymore. You make nuclear threats on a regular basis. You triple-tapped an elementary school you bitch. You bombed a hospital. You’re arming and funding a genocide in Gaza. You are the war criminal of all war criminals. You are the terrorist of all terrorists. You don’t get to go on a colossal murdering spree and then whine about mean language”

The opening of King Charles’ speech to Congress, which on any previous state visit would have been a rather charming, inoffensive trip down US-UK memory lane, can’t in the circumstances of 2026 be seen as anything other than putting the boot into Trumpism & MAGA. Pretty amazing.

“The most despised American in the world cannot bear the judgments of the most admired American in the world.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Perhaps one of the most striking moments in the king's speech came when he reminded lawmakers that the Magna Carta, cited repeatedly by the U.S. Supreme Court over the years, advanced the foundational principle that "executive power is subject to checks and balances."

BROWDER: Ukrainians already hit about 40% of Russia’s oil export capacity. They should hit 100% of it. They should absolutely destroy Russia’s ability to generate hard currency to fund war. If Putin runs out of money, he’ll have to step back and negotiate. It’s good strategy.

The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people Not Trump He wants to rename it, close it & nearly demolish it to feed his ego The arts have a central part of democracy—& this admin is corrupting both Today we make that case in federal court w/@RepBeatty & WLG - TN

Charles wiped the floor with the entirety of the Trump administration. And he did it without so much as a reference to them. Phenomenal speech.

🇺🇸⚡️US Ambassador to Ukraine Julie Davis is stepping down due to disagreements with Trump on relations between the countries, — Financial Times The publication writes that Davis is disappointed by the lack of support for Kyiv from the president. Recall that her predecessor, Ambassador Bridget Brink, also left the post of US Ambassador to Ukraine in April 2025, because she disagreed with the policy of the Trump administration. At that time, Brink expressed principled disagreement with the White House's position on Ukraine, believing that the aggressor - Russia - does not receive sufficient pressure. Her resignation was an act of principled position.

A literal king is showing more commitment to checks and balances than the US president
