Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Not only are we killing hundreds with this illegal USAID freeze. We are also causing mass layoffs of Americans working for organizations who have not received their legal &already appropriated funding. All part of Marco Rubio & Peter Marocco's America First policies www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

House members are back home this week and I've never see anything like the footage coming out of these in-district town halls. From Milton NY Dems, a constituent of Rep. Paul Tonko talks about the need for John Lewis-style leadership and civil disobedience and gets a standing ovation.

Hey @barakravid.bsky.social @marcacaputo.bsky.social . Given that the Trump admin came back to Zelenskyy with a new offer, shouldn't the headline be they discussed an "improved deal" after Zelenskyy slapped down Trump? This reads like Zelenskyy came crawling back and he didn't.

Zelenskyy stood up to Trump. Trump blustered and all, but ultimately came crawling back to Zelenskyy like a dog. There's a lesson here for all world leaders. And Democrats.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

There is something creepily astute about Musk’s theory that generational trauma plays into Norm Eisen’s & Marc Elias’ work against him. Elon: the reason you trigger generational trauma in Jewish people is that YOU REMIND US OF A NAZI.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.
