The most appropriate and effective way to recover Ukraine is to deprive Russia of the ability to destroy us. Then there will be much less to recover.

Apparently Schumer is going to force a reading of the 900+ page bill on the floor, which beats a strongly worded letter, and would delay the vote somewhat.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

The West must realize that Trump works for Putin & not for the West, therefore:
1. The rest of the West needs to impose much tougher sanctions on Russia & ignore the US.
2. The majority in the Congress should impose harder sanctions on Russia ignoring Trump. /1

This is why they're trying to take over schools, ban books, and stop funding libraries. Ignorant people are so much easier to fool.
Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

The thing that so easily allows an authoritarian dictatorship to seize power in America is the extent to which Americans believe "it can't happen here".
That widespread notion is so ingrained that it acts as a sleeping pill, paralyzing any real action until it's too late.

The end of the war should not be the loss of Ukrainian territories and the awarding of new territories to the aggressor, but the loss of Russian territories and an increase in the size of Ukraine, at least until the time of Ukraine in 1918, in compensation for aggression from the Russian Federation.
