I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.
Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.
Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

The lesson of the O.J. Simpson debacle was this:
"Never frame a Guilty Man"
The goal of this nasty & brutish administration is not exoneration, as facts are indeed "stubborn things". Rather, it's to throw sand in the umpire's eyes so no definitive call can be made.
So just beleive the women ⚖️

I work murders. No one is hiding murders. The numbers in these cities and others are down. This is historic good news.
I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Saying Trump is “transactional” is just a gentle way of saying he’s corrupt. Every power he has been trusted with, he treats as a way to extract favors and benefits from anyone he sees as situationally vulnerable.
