America is now violating the agreement it made with Ukraine in 1993 — guaranteeing Ukraine’s security in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal and Black Sea fleet
Either America needs to honor its promises — or Ukraine gets its nukes and ships back, don’t you think?

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Judge Cannon concedes she has no basis to block release of Jack Smith’s report on Jan 6 attack, though she is still dragging her feet on Mar-a-Lago report as Jan 20 nears. Unless we get more judicial craziness, we should see J6 volume at midnight tonight.

Even worse when people say they wish “The Media” had pointed this out before the election. (It did; Fox didn’t.)
There needs to be a concerted effort to undermine this message.
Furthermore, the party of Trump and #Trumponomics is the worst version of this false narrative.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Trump is itching to get his Cabinet in place. President Biden should help him by ordering FBI background checks on all Trump nominees to begin immediately.
Pretty interesting idea - Biden can order background checks into Trump’s outrageous nominees.

Opinion | Biden should order background checks of Trump’s Cabinet picks
The FBI has conducted background investigations of White House nominees since at least the tenure of President Dwight Eisenhower’s time in office.
