"For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war — not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria — one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

The SecState explanation of the essence & origin of the 28 pt plan presented to Ukraine BY THE US is a strong indicator of the lack of competence of those representing our nation in these efforts.
Russia does these things. It’s well known. Smart negotiators know not to let them happen.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress.
It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.
A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

Tonight in Kharkiv, it’s just +3°C and it will only get colder with each passing week. Long months of winter lie ahead.
This is what russia calls victory: leaving civilians without electricity, heat, or water.

I don't idolize politicians or fan boy after any of them. They are all servants and tools that must be used by the majority to make life better. If they do well, reward them. If they fail, replace them.
But, man, I'm rooting for Mamdani. All this Islamophobia & hate? I hope he wins big on Tuesday.

This war could’ve ended if Trump had done the right thing. Just a few simple policy shifts. But no. Noooo. That’s too hard. Instead, we’re flinging war maps across the room and screaming.
What did Ukrainians ever do to deserve putin and Trump at the same time?

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree. - FT

We all knew Trump was going to sell out Ukraine to Putin. All his false promises - to end the war in 24 hours, to sanction Russia, provide Tomahawks, on and on. All bs. Pro-Ukraine GOP Sens & Reps suddenly silent. The US abandons allies under Trump. Putin owns Trump like a dog.

Almost midnight in Kyiv.
Calm.
We have power, water.
Drops of rain gently sing a lullaby
to those who didn’t sleep last night.
Please, don’t take for granted
the quiet treasures you have –
power, water, windows, a roof.

It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
