Western leaders long claimed that military aid to Ukraine was a moral duty, not part of a proxy war. Seeking to cut a deal with Moscow, the Trump administration has shown in the crudest way possible that US foreign policy is about US interests, not values: jacobin.com/2025/02/ukra...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
