it's notable that Melania Trump treats the war in Ukraine as though it's a natural disaster that just happened to Ukraine and Russia, not a genocidal war of aggression launched by Putin against Ukraine

Sentenced to death for posting on @X in Iran. His name is Amirhossein Mousavi.
Dear @elonmusk, this should outrage you.
Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s former dictator and the regime’s current Supreme Leader, uses your platform to broadcast his messages to the world. So do Islamic Republic.
They enjoy freedom of expression on X while sentencing ordinary Iranians to death for exercising that same freedom.
Amirhossein is now facing the gallows because of his online activism.
The executioners have a voice on X. Their victims face execution for having one.
Elon, will you speak up for Amirhossein?
No one should be hanged for a tweet.

Like every autocrat, Trump must ritually humiliate his loyalists by publicly contradicting himself after they have prostrated themselves before his altar of lies.
Trump: "We actually have the greatest economy, but because of the gasoline price, people don't see it as much as they would have without it. And the gasoline was caused by Iran."

If she loses to Scott Colom, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith will have helped set her own defeat in motion.
He'd likely be a federal judge right now—not her opponent—if not for the fact that she blocked Biden's nomination of him over his support for trans rights.

Scott Colom is poised to do the impossible: flip Mississippi blue. He’ll be the first Black U.S. senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction.
And when he does, it will be because of conversations like this. Going to MAGA rallies and talking to voters in line.

My Twitter handle comes from the Whig Party that went extinct in 1856—a reminder that nothing in politics is permanent. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln, former Whig, was elected under a new political party banner.
Tonight feels like we just witnessed the death of a political party.
