U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

The first Trump tax scam cost $2 TRILLION and never trickled down to workers. Now, Republicans want to waste another $4.6 TRILLION on the same failed policy. How will they pay for it? By cutting Social Security, healthcare, education, and more!
