The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

The White House is a fully owned subsidiary of the Kremlin

Promises made, promises kept!

It took six weeks to get here

Tuberville: "Zelenskyy's gonna play hardball, but you know what? He's not even in the game. It's gonna be Putin and President Trump and the people on our side that will end up making this decision for the future of Ukraine."

If Democrats don’t protect norms and intuitions, no one else will. You can’t count on Senator Ted Cruz to defend free and fair elections, or Speaker Mike Johnson to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights. And it’s unlikely Senator Susan Collins, despite her… www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

KUDLOW: What's left of the Biden economy is slumping so badly LEAVITT: Truly, this administration is working around the clock to bring down the cost of living for the American people

“Change your entire business model in a month to appease my insane plans. You’re welcome!”

American farm exports were worth $179 billion in 2022

It's almost like they're behaving the exact way everyone knew they would

620,000 Russian soldiers are on Ukrainian soil. While moral bankrupts in the U.S. call Putin a “peace dove,” Russia’s troop numbers keep growing—despite heavy losses and only partial, hidden mobilization. Now imagine the army they’ll build if the war is frozen for a few years.

A close ally of Putin, Matthias Warnig, has been working to revive Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline with backing from U.S. investors - Financial Times. Warnig’s plan includes reaching out to Donald Trump’s team via U.S. businessmen as part of broader back-channel negotiations on Ukraine⤵️

Derp.

U.S. President Donald Trump will discuss on March 3 the possible suspension or complete cancellation of military aid to Ukraine, including weapons pledged by the Biden administration, The New York Times (NYT) reported.

Russian Telegram channels report a fire at an oil depot in Rostov region of Russia after a drone attack. By some reports, it is the oil depot in Chertkovo district. This hasn't been confirmed. The oil depot has already been attacked on February 6.

Holy shit, that’s bad. Makes sense why they’re trying to exclude government spending to GDP to fudge the numbers.

🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 WP confirms that Trump is considering ending military aid to Ukraine. In addition to ending the supply of weapons - including ammunition and radar systems - another option under discussion is the reduction of intelligence data exchange and the termination of training programs.

Will russia stop k##lling Ukrainians, if we all wear suits?

"I don't know why he's doing that" -- Rep. Carlos Giménez is surprised to learn live on Fox that Hegseth is ending cyber operations against Russia

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

New episode youtu.be/owcnr9oHmow?...

Trump outraged at Zelenskyy saying end of Russia-Ukraine war could be ‘very far away’

The projection king. We chronicled and documented all the paid operatives Trump had at his events during his campaign posing as rando citizens. This also shows you that these protests are working and he is hearing it from his allies in Congress.

Welcome to Trump’s America - where rapist sex traffickers are welcomed in, and allied war heroes are kicked out.

🇫🇷🇪🇺 Macron: "Europeans can no longer rely on NATO as they once did, because Trump's position has weakened it. We will need 10 years to free ourselves from American influence through massive local and European investment."

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

Trying to pressure Zelensky into an apology, knowing he won’t, is just an excuse for the US to shift blame for its own failure to reach a truce with Russia - something that would make Trump look weak. Do you expect Vance to ever treat Netanyahu the same way he did Zelensky?

If you don't need to, don't travel to the US. Cancel your plans and book somewhere else. Stop giving money to Trump.

Imagine having this much disdain for your own voters

Your daily reminder :

New in PN: @marceldirsus.bsky.social on the rise and fall of tyrants "Democracies can survive a lot, but they collapse when soldiers, police officers, and intelligence agents no longer serve the state ... that's sort of the absolute worst-case scenario."

Just dumb as hell. No mastermind plan, no 5d chess, just simply stupid as fuck

Democrats are landing hits focusing on traditional attacks on the economy and cuts to Medicaid but the game has changed. My guest @simonwdc.bsky.social explains how we need a second front in this battle for our nation. @ondemocracychannel.bsky.social

WATCH: “Churchill didn’t wear a suit @ the White House during WW2. And 🇬🇧 didn’t have elections from 1935-1945 for obvious reasons. But why bother with facts?” @mrjamesob.bsky.social wrecks @brianglenntv’s attack on Zelenskyy’s clothes + Gabbard’s Kremlin talking point about 🇺🇦 elections.

"Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given" - On Tyranny, T. Snyder Unfortunately, HHS has obeyed in advance, issuing a spineless email this morning stating employees are required to respond with 5 bullets to the "What did you do last week (Part II)" email.

Another example of Dr. Seuss work in 1942 and an update for 2025.

Two weeks until the government shuts down

Maybe, just maybe, Americans don’t need to be paid money to hold political leaders accountable for bad policy decisions.

🇨🇳🚫🇺🇸 China preparing countermeasures against US tariffs, - Reuters ❗️The countermeasures are likely to include both tariffs and a range of non-tariff measures, and the list is likely to include US agricultural and food products.

CRASH 📉📉📉 The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model now estimates U.S. real GDP growth for Q1 at -2.8%, down even further from last week’s forecast of -1.5%. Just a month ago, the estimate was about +4%.

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.

US Secretary of Commerce 😵‍💫

The real heroes in this fight so far have been the men and women attending those Town Hall meetings!🔥

It looks like the tea arrived.

The cognitive dissonance is almost impressive.

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that ANYONE who can't easily admit that Russia invaded Ukraine is a Putin bootlicker, a Russian stooge, and a moronic fucking asshole. Russia invaded Ukraine, folks. PERIOD. h/t: @acyn.bsky.social
