re: #InfluencerGate
even if tim pool and benny johnson were just morons who had no idea they had become #russian assets (doubtful) the indictment is pretty clear that lauren chen is 100% a russian asset.
she's appeared on a who's who of right wing media: Fox News, BlazeTV, RT, OANN, #Newsmax, The Daily Wire, Rebel Media, #PragerU and The Rubin Report.
an interesting twist is that recently #LaurenChen had kind of gone batshit anti-trump. she also had a big "repeal the 19th amendment" phase. some folks are claiming that means she was a plant to damage the right. all i can think of is that KGB quote "our brand is chaos".
worth at least seeing Chen's anti-trump tweets: https://x.com/stclairashley/status/1831453510438998498

17,000 russian armored vehicles have been destroyed since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
The BMP-1, one of the most common russian IFVs, is 6.7 meters in length. So, if we put all the destroyed vehicles in line, it's almost 114 km"

Peter Mandelson has been rebuffed for saying Volodymyr Zelenskyy should be more supportive of US peace efforts and that Ukraine should unilaterally call a ceasefire, with a UK defence minister saying this was “not government policy”.
The overnight comments by Lord Mandelson, the UK ambassador to Washington, were also criticised by opposition parties, with the Liberal Democrats saying Mandelson should not be “telling President Zelenskyy what to do”.
In an interview with ABC News, Mandelson, who was Keir Starmer’s choice to try to maintain ties with the second Donald Trump administration, said there was a need for a “very radical reset” after Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, berated Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Friday.
“The reset has to consist of the United States and Ukraine getting back on the same page, President Zelenskyy giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative that President Trump is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to Ukraine,” Mandelson said.
“And the Europeans too, they need to back the calls for a ceasefire, and – by the way – I think that Ukraine should be the first to commit to a ceasefire and defy the Russians to follow.”
Asked whether this was government policy, Luke Pollard, the armed forces minister, replied: “No.” He told Sky News: “It’s certainly right that Ukrainians want peace. I think of all the people on our continent that want peace, the Ukrainians want it the most.
“But we’re still in discussions, diplomatic engagement with our European, US and Ukrainian friends as to the shape of that deal. It’s certainly right that the war could stop tomorrow if President Putin stopped his illegal and unprovoked aggression. He could stop this war.”
Asked if Mandelson had been incorrect with his comments, Pollard said: “That’s not government policy.”
Earlier, senior figures in the Lib Dems and Conservatives criticised Mandelson’s intervention. Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, tweeted: “What is Mandelson up to? You cannot square what the prime minister said this morning with this. What is the government’s actual position? Our man in DC should be securing US protection for our brave Ukrainian allies, not telling President Zelenskyy what to do.”
James Cleverly, a former Conservative foreign secretary, said: “The UK ambassador to Washington isn’t meant to communicate his own opinion, he is meant to communicate the UK government opinion. Lammy and Starmer need to grip this.”

And the #Witkoff plot thickens:
Kateryna Lisunova @KaterynaLis
🚨 The #Russians have now confirmed that the tapes are real and not fake.
"Kremlin aide #YuriUshakov told Russian media that the conversation took place over WhatsApp.
“Yes, there are some conversations held over secure communications, which means there are virtually no leaks unless one party deliberately makes them. But there are also some WhatsApp conversations (owned by Meta, which is labeled extremist and banned in Russia) that, apparently, someone can somehow eavesdrop on,” Ushakov said.
Ushakov also didn’t deny that Witkoff may have said too much — and might face trouble back in Washington:
Journalist: “Mr. Witkoff, judging by the conversation, clearly wasn’t interested in anyone else hearing it — even more so than you. You didn’t say anything ‘too much.’ But he did.”
From this short interview, ... The whole thing reads more like an internal message aimed at self-protection and cleaning up his image."
Oh hello...
Nick Schifrin @nickschifrin:
"BREAKING: After talking to @SecRubio, @SenatorRounds announces that the #28PointPlan was a #Russian document, not a #US document.
Full @senatorrounds:
"@SecRubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon.
I think he made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives.
It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan.
It is a proposal that was received.
And as an intermediary, we have made arrangements to share it.
And we did not release it.
It was leaked.
It was not released by our members or our representatives...
This is an opportunity to receive it and that it has been utilized and delivered to the Ukrainians, and that they will have an opportunity to respond.
And in doing so, you now have one side being presented and the opportunity for the other side to respond."
So it was a #Russian "plan" all along
New resolution to do something positive for the world every time I find myself enraged by "the news".
So far today I have joined a nature conservation organisation, donated money to #Ukraine and spent an hour researching wildflowers for a bare piece of ground nearby to attract solitary bees, hoverflies + other pollinators that I will finalise planting this spring.
At this rate the world will be a much better place by next Christmas.
And it turns out that it really does help.

UK newspaper The Independent warns that Donald Trump's #misinformation about Ukraine and Zelensky threatens democracy and empowers authoritarian regimes. His distorted narratives risk global stability, calling for a strong response from leaders and the media.
Confronting Trump’s disinformation is essential to defending democratic values. Leaders like Keir Starmer set an example by standing firmly with #Ukraine. Silence only strengthens dangerous narratives.
