Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

We have changed sides. As a nation, we are no longer supporting human rights and the rule of law. We now support greed, brutality, and oligarchic power grabs.

This business of negotiating with Russia without Ukraine at the table is like talking to a rapist about a mutually agreeable outcome. Without letting the rape victim speak. While the rape is still in progress.

"There is overwhelming consensus on Capitol Hill that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal, NATO is critical to European and global security, and the United States has led the common defense." They all knew Trump was running against that.

“Clearly contrary to manifest public interest” is the standard for when a judge can countermand the government’s decision about dismissing a prosecution. The interesting question is, what would the prosecution look like if a judge did that with the government unwilling to proceed?

Zelenskyy calls for the creation of a #EuropeanArmy: “We must build the armed forces of Europe, so that Europe’s future depends only on Europeans,” the creation of a unified European force outside of NATO comes after the US elected a Russian asset making it no longer reliable or to be counted on.
