This so-called ‘peace plan’ has real problems, and I am highly skeptical it will achieve peace. Ukraine should not be forced to give up its lands to war criminal Putin.

The size and disposition of Ukraine’s armed forces is a sovereign choice for its government and people.

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

Bettors think there is a 80% chance that Texas will use a new map in 2026. But surprisingly, even if Republicans prevail in court, their decision to launch a redistricting war could still end up backfiring

We are already seeing censorship, misinformation isn’t far behind.
Last night the Pentagon informed NPR, NBC, The New York Times and Politico that they're losing office space in the Pentagon as part of a new annual "rotation program." Several pro-Trump media outlets will be moving in. www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/m...
