When Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky in the Oval Office in Feb 2025—Trump aping Russian propaganda, Vance snivelingly accusing Zelensky of insufficient gratitude—I compared Trump to a high school bully, and Vance to a hanger-on hiding behind the bully's leg going "yeah, tell 'em!" It's who he is.

The author wrote that the current choice of the ruling party in the USA is not a major problem for Poland. He considered it a bigger challenge that some Polish political forces perceive the US president as a real power or superior to Polish state authorities. #Polska #USA #Polityka #PL #US (translated)
The author wrote that the scale of Donald Trump’s defeat and the Democrats’ substantial majorities in both houses of Congress could moderate his foreign policy, but cautioned against excessive optimism, saying his actions were impossible to predict with certainty. https://t.co/WRdFUs93Jk #Trump #Politik #Kongress #US
Kaja Kallas: US voters have made their choice clear. I hope that the new Congress and the new Senate will continue supporting Ukraine and also putting more pressure on Russia, that it will happen. Because then Europe, as well as US, are much stronger together.

This is 14-year-old Katya. She was killed yesterday by a Russian drone strike on a private home in the village of Khotiv, in Kyiv region. 💔🕯 She had her whole life ahead of her, but russia decided to cut it short.
Advisor to the President of Ukraine "Flash" reported that the Russians have begun placing "waiter" drones on high-voltage power lines.
It seems to me that the Iran War was certainly a contributing factor to the GOP defeat, but exit polling and surveys show consistently that it was not the single largest factor. Concern about corruption and the undermining of democratic institutions consistently ranked higher. What we're watching
Putin: Russia has never threatened anyone and seeks cooperation. I won't even bother to comment on this lying.
The post said cyber incidents affecting refrigeration systems had again shown how cyberattacks could disrupt essential services, businesses and daily life. It added that the European Commission was in direct contact with national authorities and ready to support affected member states. #Ciberseguridad #IncidentesCibernéticos #ServiciosEsenciales #EU #US
The 3rd Corps hit the latest Russian "Buk-M3" air defense system worth 45 million dollars with a drone. The "Buk-M3" system was accompanied by military vehicles of a mobile fire group, which was supposed to protect the "Buk" exactly from such drones. 🤷♂️ (translated)
The author wrote that, in his opinion, the label "sitting duck" suited Donald Trump more than any other American president in history.

Massive electoral rebuke of Trump, MAGA, and the GOP, shifting institutional power towards Democrats, and making for a vibe-shifting symbolic rejection. But things will likely get worse before they get better. My take on the midterm results, and what it means for America's democratic backsliding:
Young voters in Portland, Maine, have welcomed the Democrats' sweeping victories in the 2026 midterm elections, with celebrations breaking out as results came in. Some described the outcome as a moment of redemption after years of political disappointment. #YoungVoters #MidtermElections #DemocraticVictory
