Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Trump sows chaos in federal workforce then says “resign within a week and I’ll give you 7 months severance.” Don’t fall for it! Trump told innumerable contractors he’d pay—then stiffed them. He has no authority to promise severance pay. Wait him out! apnews.com/article/trum...

I'm glad to see the Virginia Senate pass legislation to protect the right to contraception for all Virginians. At a time when women's reproductive freedoms are under attack, no politician should be opposed to supporting such basic protections.

Trump’s federal aid freeze is hurting Veterans—blocking funding for suicide prevention, homelessness programs, and nursing home care. This isn’t 'fiscal responsibility,' it’s cruelty. Sen. Blumenthal is right: These benefits were earned! #SaveVeteransHealthCare

I have a feeling someone may need this today. This is a time that will try all our souls. We must let our friends & family know we see them, we value them & we will stand up to protect everyone’s right to be themselves.
