The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Because your government answers to more people than you. The folks who want a higher minimum wage aren't great at voting; the ones who want a lower one show up every time.
Why can't our government fulfill the demand that the minimum wage should be significantly higher than it is? Or that Unions should have more power than they do to keep the oligarchs in check. Those types of legislation don't need to cost the public any money, yet would solve a host of problems.

Today we have discussed the current situation and we are clear that there should be nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.
As next steps, European leaders will meet tomorrow in the margins of G20 and then in Angola at the EU-AU meeting.

Putin has no plan for winning in Ukraine.
His losses are catastrophic – 984k-1.44m casualties, up to 480k dead and all he has achieved is expanding NATO and wiping out a generation of young Russian men, writes The Economist. 1/

Very moving funeral for VP Cheney. A window into a better era. Character. Experience. Devotion to country and family. I was JCS notetaker for Gen Powell at daily update with Sec Def Cheney. Visited him as VP. Rumsfeld was the dark actor. A serious man. He denounced Trump.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.
But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Can someone ask Rubio why the US needs to "respond" to this thing that appears to be a wholly domestic judicial issue in Brazil?

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
