โSaying something obviously untrue,โ said Hannah Arendt, โand making your subordinates repeat it with a straight face in their own voice, is a particularly startling display of power over them. Itโs something that was endemic to totalitarianism.โ

I don't know if Jack Posobiec is being paid by foreign actors. But it is confirmed he's a compulsive liar and canโt be trusted.

Putin does not have a veto over European security.
Any agreement to end the war must prevent Russia from re-arming and re-attacking.
This is why earlier this year, I put forward a paper with core demands towards Moscow, which was discussed by EU Foreign Ministers. This should be the basis for any negotiations.
Concessions should be on the aggressor, not on the victim.

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the countryโs most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trumpโs election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid.
Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP

Nothing to see here. Just Trump appointing his own Joseph Goebbels as Chief of Staff. Put Stephen Miller beside the original Nazi propaganda minister and the resemblance is uncanny. If this isn't a five-alarm warning, what the fuck is?

We just learned Idaho paid hunters $2,000 for every newborn wolf pup they killed. Meanwhile, Trump is working to weaken the Endangered Species Act, putting imperiled wildlife at even greater risk.
This is an abomination. Thereโs no undoing extinction.

โผ๏ธTurning Point UK CEO Caught On Camera Brokering Paid Attacks And Killings Through A UVF-Linked Hitman๐ฑ
An Al Jazeera undercover investigation has exposed Turning Point UK CEO Jack Ross introducing reporters to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal with alleged ties to the Ulster Volunteer Force, a proscribed paramilitary group. Ross is filmed discussing a menu of paid violence, from beatings and face-cutting to stabbings, shootings, and killings, while also paying Nesbitt thousands to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally. In public, Ross condemns political violence. In private, he appears comfortable arranging it through a man who showed weapons on a call and claimed past experience with such work. The Conservative Party has suspended Rossโs membership, and Scottish police are reviewing the footage for possible criminality.
Turning Point UK is the British offshoot of Turning Point USA, the organization founded by Charlie Kirk. The investigation shows how casually its leadership treated the idea of hiring paramilitary-linked contacts for violence against rivals. This comes as questions continue about Turning Point USAโs own conduct, its finances, and the circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirkโs assassination. Erika Kirk and the American organization have not yet addressed the UK findings publicly.
How will Turning Point USA try to separate itself from this? Will they claim the UK group is fully independent, or will they stay silent while police examine whether their overseas CEO was negotiating contract violence? The public statements against violence do not match the private recordings.
Shoutout to @Its_KK_1 for sending me this story. FOLLOW her.

Someone should let @SenateDems know corruption was a key issue. Some already seem to be backing away from investigations

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES. Tell them we want @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries out. They are not up to the job. THAT is our process, not change.org.
Sign this petition if you want a new speaker of the house.

If the @TheDemocrats donโt remove @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer from their leadership positions (and from our screens) within the next 24 hours, theyโre going to fumble more political capital and momentum than has ever been fumbled before.
Do not reappoint @RepJeffries or @SenSchumer

What I don't understand is how JD Vance said, on the record, that Trump should "fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people," and that "when the courts stop you," he should say "the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it." He said we are "in a late republican period" and that his side would "have to get pretty wild." The reporter who printed it called it "a description, essentially, of a coup." When asked later whether he still meant it, Vance said "Yup." And it's treated as just a dumb thing he once said. Can you imagine if any Democratic politician had a fucking quote like that on the record?

Itโs not a question of "getting even."
Itโs not even a question.
Itโs a duty.
Itโs the power and duty of Congress to provide oversight. To ensure that the executive branch is being operated in accordance with the Constitution and the laws that Congress has enacted on the peopleโs behalf. And to ensure that tax dollars are being spent in the interests of the people, and not for the benefit of the public servants who administer the accounts on the peopleโs behalf.
This power and duty was exercised by Congress from the earliest moments of the Washington Administration. It has been forsaken by corrupt and craven Congresses of recent years.
It is the new Congress's solemn obligation to resume performance of its duty to oversee the executive branch, and any leader who canโt commit to that obligation should stand aside.
