NPT's fate was sealed with the Budapest Memorandum followed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine 10 years later in 2014. Everyone learned a lesson: you cannot count on the West's promises. If you give up nukes, (and all the rockets and planes Ukraine gave up), don't be surprised if you're invaded.

The messaging to save USAID. Appeals to Americans about sick and hungry children in Africa — do not work. The China / Russia security case also fails. Show how it’s a domestic issue. A dozen media orgs should be in the Midwest interviewing farmers over the closure of the Soybean Innovation Lab.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is why we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

Don't listen to Assad supporter lies. Syrian rebels are not CIA, Mossad, or a Western conspiracy. They are the last bastion of the Arab Spring. They carry the crushed dreams of Tunisians, Egyptians, Bahrainis, and Yemenis, to live in a Middle East without tyrants or death squads.
