Putin’s reason for invading Ukraine was to keep Ukraine from joining NATO. Ukraine desperately wants international borders to be fixed between Ukraine and Russia. They fear further encroachments from Russia. Ukraine should at least be given a pathway to joining the European Economic Union!

We must file a "We the People!" lawsuit against the President and Congress for failing to enforce the Oath of Office and the U.S. Constitution! We can enlist Republicans, Democrats, and Independents from every state and Congressional District to sign on to the lawsuit. We need accountability!

The opposition is growing.

If we can recruit Pence and McConnell, you know the rest of the Republicans (with the exception of the truly delusional) are aware that Trump is a madman.
Dark Pence is back.

Governor Pritzker’s speech about Holocaust survivors in Skokie and Chicago should be a rallying cry for all of us!
Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Freedom of speech is so very essential to our democracy! But we need to be careful about the thunderstorm of lies that are constantly spewed by this administration. How do people learn the truth when they follow someone so blindly and deafly?
In addition to parroting Putin, Trump’s storm of angry lies about Ukraine is no doubt part of his pressure campaign to extort half a trillion in Ukrainian mineral rights he can dole out to his cronies. Corruption is usually behind the curtain.
Trump attacks Zelenskyy as a ‘dictator without elections’ who duped US
The president’s remarkable attack on the Ukrainian president is sure to deeply worry international allies and domestic supporters of an American-led global order.

President Putin has President Trump by the BALLS! He owns him. There can be no other explanation
Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

DOGE Is Totally Incompetent!
This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
