Zelenskyy warned that Putin “is no longer interested in anything” except war. Russia only “hears strength”. EU appears to be stepping up to give Ukraine that strength. At a meeting last week it pledged a further $38bn in military aid. After Trump took office, US military aid for Ukraine fell by 99%.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧
The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."
RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.
So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

State funding is delivering real results in the fight against organized retail crime.
In just two years, we've seen:
✅ 29,060 arrests
✅ Nearly 22,900 cases referred for prosecution
✅ $226 million in stolen goods recovered
We'll continue holding criminals accountable.

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it.
Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie.
We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about.
He's pathetic.

When Trump finally makes himself the Dictator of America, the first thing he's going to do is take your guns. Dictators don't let anyone have weapons for fear of a revolt. Read about Hitler's "Night of the Long Knives" if you want to see what Trump supporters can expect.
