With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California. 
 
Now five more on the East Coast. 
 
All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy. 
 
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?

Check your utility bill next year and you will see.

Californians have paid more than $1,000 in Trump Taxes this year thanks to the President’s tariffs — making housing, groceries, and everyday goods more expensive.  

And with inflation still driving up prices, the cost of living under Donald Trump could climb even higher in 2026.

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.

Not a soul would call that “winning.”

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

The administration can try to justify the continuing military escalation in the Caribbean and repeated illegal strikes with any excuse they want.

But as I told @elexmichaelson.bsky.social, Americans know what it's really about: regime change.

And they want no part of another war.

We who grew up in the postwar era in the 20th century came to believe that democracy and freedom were inevitable.

We were wrong.

If we are to preserve our experiment in self-governance, we have to bend that arc of justice ourselves.

Republicans have a choice today:

They can vote to extend health care for millions of Americans.

Or they can choose to raise health care costs on millions of Americans.

Trump is dozing off in meetings. He’s wandering during ceremonies. His rants are more unhinged, his temper shorter, and he’s suddenly getting MRIs the White House can’t explain. Something is wrong — and they’re hiding it

James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform.

Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics.
