“That’s a huge figure which is, at the moment, more than Russia’s recruitment rate.”
Putin could be forced into difficult decisions that could threaten his regime after Ukraine’s commander-in-chief reports that Ukraine killed 32,000 Russian troops last month alone, says The Times’s Maxim Tucker.

Trump’s economic messaging tour takes him to Georgia, where he claims “I’ve won affordability”—as White House advisors concede in a high-level meeting that he “will do what he wants to do, say what he wants to say.” No surprise then that Republican strategists are beginning to go public with their fears about the midterms. Jon and Dan react to all the latest, including Trump’s plans for war in Iran, the saga of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s cancelled interview with Stephen Colbert, and the rumored departure of spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, the face of DHS’s worst lies.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

Europe can no longer rely on the US and must step up to defend its own future, Ian Bremmer reports from the Munich Security Conference.
Europe is facing a moment of reckoning. Ian Bremmer reports from Germany on how the US, under President Trump’s second term, has shifted from guarantor of the postwar order to a disruptive force, leaving allies questioning who will defend democracy and global stability.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz put it bluntly: “The United States’ claim to leadership has been challenged and possibly lost.” Even with a softer tone from Washington this year, the question remains: who will protect Europe—and the free world—if the US is focused on transactional dominance rather than global stewardship?
Bremmer explains why European leaders are being forced to confront a new reality: they must act, stand on their own, and take responsibility for their security and values. “Europe can no longer count on the US. The question is, who will defend the free world if democracies can’t answer that?”
