Trump violating most basic international commitments US made to Ukraine in 1994. Having demanded they abandon their nuclear weapons, we committed to not take advantage of this decision to use economic coercion against them. And Trump is violating that clear agreement.

This also no doubt means gutting white collar crime units to end investigations of corporate oligarchs for the financial crimes that kill and steal from working people at far higher levels than local crimes

No matter their experience or achievements, misogynistic racists will always claim women and POC "stole" their jobs from white guys - and then will get replaced by far less unqualified white guys.

So we now have Republican generals and Democratic generals- and every officer will be cultivating political ties to advance his career. This is the end of the nonpolitical military if the GOP Senate rolls over for this.

Crisis over Ukraine revealing political breakdown in U.S. but also breakdown in Europe, where vetos of illiberal countries like Hungary block effective EU action. EU needs to move towards majoritarian decision-making or they will end up empowering global fascism. www.politico.eu/article/west...

Every Democratic leader should announce that as soon as Democrats retake the White House, any such coercive agreement will be torn up and any business exploiting the agreement will be subject to a 100% corporate tax until all funds taken from Ukraine are returned to that govt.

At this point, Trump is just conducting a campaign of political vandalism, shutting down positive actions by government because he hates nice things.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

SCOTUS upholds TRO by lower courts stopping Trump from firing special prosecutor. In dissent, Alito & Gorsuch argue judges are "powerless to 'restrain an executive officer from making a... removal of a subordinate appointee'" Having attacked every Biden action, now courts are "powerless" for them

Key document- Ukraine doesn't owe us a dime for their protection. We demanded they give up nuclear weapons after the breakup of the Soviet Union and in exchange we agreed to support them against any act of aggression.

Musk is assuming supervillain status, using his billions to try to buy our democracy out from under us. Need to pack the Supreme Court if only to reempower laws to limit campaign spending by the wealthy.

Great analysis on what we lose by not fairly taxing billionaires like Musk. All "waste" he claims in federal employment is LESS than the taxes he should be paying just by himself. There is NO scarcity of money to meet human needs - just scarcity of political will to tax the oligarch class.

Trump proposed a reparations demand on Ukraine, a victim of aggression, that would have required payment to the U.S. of any new resources extracted AHEAD of any domestic use. “That clause means ‘pay us first, and then feed your children’,” said one source... www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Local sheriffs don't work for the federal government or Donald Trump. Threatening to arrest people for things they HAVEN'T DONE is fascism at its core. If Trump wants governments to do things for federal government, he needs to provide funding to do so - and govs can take the money or not.

J6 felons and corrupt mayors go free and now Trump targets opposition political leadership. Serious fascism creep on this one. Schumer shouldn't be clarifying his remarks but be daring Trump to arrest him - as AOC is daring ICE head Homan to come after her.

So rather than get rid of the felon, Hochul wants to permanently erode home rule for New York City. What we need is a bill to allow the City Council to impeach the mayor if Hochul won't do it. And we need the legislature to impeach Hochul for leaving a felon in hock to Trump in office.
