We had Russia on the ropes. They were crippled by sanctions. They had made minimal headway into Ukraine. Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks. He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea. Then he played his ace in the hole. Donald Motherfucking Trump.

Individual steps towards autocracy can seem petty and personal. But their significance goes beyond that. Retaliation or retribution against one individual or institution is a way to intimidate many others. It’s a way to induce much broader compliance.

I grew up in the 80s. If you had told me then that an American president and vice president would verbally attack the leader of a country that was at war with Russia, I would have scoffed. If you insisted, I would say it’s the plot of a terrible movie where they were secret Russian assets 🤷‍♂️

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

On thing about putting Zelensky in a room with Trump and turning it into an insult melee is he's the one world leader who is also TV comedian turned politician and he is way better at both of those things than Trump.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
