(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

From conservative National Review "Trump is incapable of seeing straight [re] America’s long-term national interests in Ukraine, as compared to his private resentments...I have always doubted his ability to serve national interest when it conflicted his own" www.nationalreview.com/2025/02/dona...

Shockingly, it turns out that empowering the richest human being on the planet to maliciously and gratuitously heap additional misery on that planet’s most poor, hungry, and desperate people might—just might—pose a niggling political problem to President Donald Trump.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO. Not for me. It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

If we want to save some more taxpayer money, the government could freeze payments to SpaceX. Last year, it spent more than 400 times as many taxpayer dollars on SpaceX services than it did on Politico Pro subscriptions. Surely we don't need to be paying for a second space program.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Frost: Trump fired pretty much every inspector general in the entire country federally. And then a little bit later, we hear that Elon Musk now has access to that federal payment system with zero oversight..

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...
