Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.
If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

It was quite evident before, but yesterday's ambush of Zelenskyy was the final break. Republicans still standing in support of Trump can no longer cling to the notion that theirs is the party of Reagan. (1/3)

It's almost funny (ok, it's not at all funny) how when Biden was president, Republicans kept suing Biden and executive agencies on grounds they were exceeding their authority under the law. Now, when Trump and DOGE aren't merely trying to interpret the law, but blatantly disregarding it, <crickets>.

I don’t think that’s very clear at all. Trump and his Nazi billionaire friend are trying to destroy government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Anyone still on their side doesn’t want to work with you ever again. And the people who are on your side want you to stand in their way.
"It is very clear that, if there is a middle of all of this hot mess of division, Americans want us to work together when we can and find common ground," Sen. Amy Klobuchar tells the Opinion writer Michelle Cottle.

Bloomberg philanthropy to cover U.S. climate dues after Paris withdrawal
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's philanthropy and other U.S. funders said on Thursday they will cover U.S. financial obligations to the UN climate framework after President Donald Trump called for the U.S. to withdraw - for a second time - from the Paris climate agreement.

Let's be clear about what's happening.
Trump is freeing the violent paramilitary wing of his movement from prison in order to:
1) demonstrate that violence committed in service of his objectives will go unpunished, and
2) facilitate future acts of violence in service of his regime.

Here's the truth: Elon Musk doesn't want any restrictions on his investments in China, and that's why we're on the brink of a government shutdown.
This is the first scandal of Trump's second term, and it'll look like a lot of the others: putting personal financial interests above the country's.

There’s a mundane reason for the late-term chaos, and it’s called a conflict of interest.

This year, 10 U.S. billionaires gained $787B in wealth.
That's nearly 4X more than the $214B earned annually by all 3.2M U.S. public school teachers combined.
In fact, more wealth went to a *single person* than to all teachers combined. Is that fair?
This is what extreme wealth costs society.
