Mr. President: Putin is THE dictator and 10 Ukraine-Russia war truths we ignore at our peril nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

Another Republican, Don Bacon, rejects Trump's Kremlin manufactured rhetoric and lies... *Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Zelensky is gaining over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West...

"Trump did not run on a promise to unleash an unelected billionaire to slash-and-burn through the government, firing tens of thousands of employees and arbitrarily canceling contracts and federal programs. And *even if he had*, that still wouldn’t make it legal." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

RFK's not-so-veiled threat to take mental health drugs away is even worse than it looks at first blush. He wants to replace these medications with labor camps. This fits with the larger, eugenics-informed Trump/Musk agenda. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

Dmytro Tyshetsky does say it all in his post. He's asking a question of 🇺🇸 that really shouldn't need to be asked. This is especially true in a country that has the phrase "with liberty and justice for all" in it's Pledge Of Allegiance. 🇺🇸 should NEVER side with a tyrant like Putin. 🇺🇦 SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦

"Demands by a president that a news organization comply with an order to change its content would seem to run counter to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bars the government from impeding the freedom of the press," the Associated Press wrote. scrippsnews.com/politics/mex...

New in PN: The AP provides a model of effective press resistance "The dispute over the name of the Gulf of Mexico seems trivial, especially compared to the others horrors Trump is currently perpetrating. But tyrants are tyrants in part bc they insist on asserting control over even trivial matters."

Why do Republicans think women and minorities can't do a job as good as a white man? Isn't that what the anti-DEI crap is all about? www.cbsnews.com/news/starbuc...

With Musk usurping their real authority — appropriation — what role does Congress even play? Republicans tacitly unveiled their answer this week: They see their main purpose as disseminating even more disinfo to make Americans even dumber. www.salon.com/2025/02/13/m...
