Hey, I wrote this!
“A lot of teams have these streamlined logos, and they do their tests and focus groups,” says Steve King, the Browns' unofficial historian. “This is something somebody drew 80 years ago, and there’s an appeal to that."

A chilly but pretty night for my last trip to Put-In-Bay of the season.

“The Americans are being played,” British historian Sir Antony Beevor told Sky News. He says Putin is manipulating the White House and views Trump as a “useful idiot” advancing Moscow’s goals, especially on Ukraine.(2025)

Calling Putin a humanitarian? That’s more offensive than calling a boy a girl.

I grew up loathing Soviet apologists and I grow old loathing Putin apologists.

I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.
Go down the checklist.
1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that.
2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that.
3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that.
4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that.
5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that?
I think he’s been compromised.
The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.

"We have seen rhetoric coming out of Washington that suggests that the war is Ukraine's fault. Ukraine has been the victim of Russian aggression," says David Kramer. "Putin is the one who refuses to end the war." to.pbs.org/4sozRgg

An administration that has lost any capacity for shame or self-control will soon completely lose the confidence of the voters who put it there.

The MAGA Republican Party will be remembered as the Butchers of Ukraine.
I hope they are haunted for the rest of their lives by the screams of Ukrainian children burning alive in their beds.
It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy. euronews.com/2026/10/20/kaja…

WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade Starlink network used by Ukraine, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter.
Trump and Musk have both expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which Trump blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the connection speeds of Ukrainian devices, rendering some attack drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.
