If all your representative is going to do is sit silently and wear pink, you need to replace them with somebody that will do this.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

Moskowitz on Town Halls: The Republicans have this line claiming it’s paid Democratic actors. We hear that every time there is a mass shooting. “It’s paid actors.” No, these are their constituents. Even if they are Democrats, they are still your constituents. I have Republican constituents.

I think Russian intelligence services cannot believe their good fortune at everything that is happening right now. This is a bonanza across the board. The vicious attack on Ukraine, nutters at the FBI, Gabbard at DNI, shredding of CI capabilities. A monumental tragedy for the West.

Lindsey Graham is the definition of a weak, sniveling, gutless opportunist — an unprincipled political weather vane who grovels before power with embarrassing desperation. A hollow man with no convictions, no integrity, and no spine, shifting his loyalties whenever it serves his personal interests.

Trump doesn’t apparently know that we actually pay farmers subsidies to leave fields fallow because we grow more food than we can eat or sell overseas. What an idiot.

So what this does is remind us that it’s not just Trump who has an inexplicable affinity for Putin, it’s now a common feature among nearly all Republican politicians—which means the word has come down explicitly (or else by inference) that if you aren’t right with Putin, you’re not right with Trump.

I’m sure there’s a national picture, but I gotta tell you that I know an awful lot of Minnesotans - including my wife- who love target, who think of target as their favorite store and always have, cause it’s a Minnesota company. And they just haven’t shopped there since target caved on DEI.

Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring). Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

My best recommendation to huge legacy media companies right now is to hire a reporter who understands crypto, the law, and politics - and how they are currently intersecting in an incredibly corrupt way that almost everyone is ignoring.

I wish more folks had read Proof of Corruption (2020). It offers a full history of the relationship between Trump and Ukraine going back years. Trump has hated Ukraine since the 2000s—and beyond the events that led to his first impeachment also illegally withheld the Javelins he loves to talk about.
