My question is how can we ensure every Republican spends two weeks on Trump's bad side? They are all weak and this might be a winning strategy to turning over Congress before the next election.
Greene spewed the worst vile poison at the left for years. After two weeks of being on the receiving end of that right wing vitriol, she's throwing in the towel. Lame. Lame and weak.

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes

I gotta say hearing everyone keep talking about so called ‘peace plan’ Russia is trying to push on us while air raid siren alert is on in my city and rescuers continue to search for 14 people in Ternopil after Russia bombed a civilian apartment building there yesterday is absolutely f*cked up.

How can we call ourselves followers of Jesus while pushing for a government that privileges our faith above others? It’s a dangerous line to blur. True influence means advocating for the flourishing of ALL communities, not just our own. Are we truly seeking the common good?

This is obscene. No CEO is worth that much to a company that has only generated half that much revenue in the 22 years since it was founded.

Every time I notice myself getting hopeful on Trump's stance on Ukraine I remind myself of the many articles I've read by @phillipspobrien.bsky.social that often paint a less rosy picture and even more often are spot on.
