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.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

📖 Biographer Franklin Foer wrote that President Joe Biden was the West’s father figure, guiding world leaders against authoritarianism with calm and clarity. "He was a man for his age.”

History will rightly remember Biden as the leader who held the free world together.

Would you like to express to Donald Trump and JD Vance how despicable and embarrassing their behavior was today with President Zelensky?

Here is the number for the White House switchboard where you can leave a message: (202) 456-1414

Today there will be a critical meeting in the White House with the leader of the free world.

Donald Trump will also be there.

"I’m not sure which is worse: the fact that Republicans are moving to gut the last lifeline for 72 million Americans who rely on Medicaid and 43 million Americans who rely on Food Stamps or the fact that they’re lying about doing it."

S.E.C. Declares Memecoins Are Not Subject to Oversight The agency said the novelty digital assets were not securities, a month after President Trump issued his own memecoin.

The SEC just decided that it won't regulate memecoins as securities.

That's awfully convenient for President Trump, who launched a memecoin last month that has already generated nearly $100 million in trading fees for his family.

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Prebunking Elon Musk's Super Bowl Propaganda Perception is reality.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

Agree 💯

HELL YES:

Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP.

Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).”

His words were BLUNT:

“Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added.

Great piece, thank you. (Pretty sure that the enrollment at Episcopalian churches will be going up shortly.)

Mariann Speaks Calmly to the Leopards When empathy can sound very loud.

"In just under two-and-a-half minutes, Bishop Mariann Budde, fully comfortable in her own skin and righteously firm in Christ’s teachings, did more to challenge Trump than the whole of American political media in the past ten weeks."

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

Cattle have destroyed the arid western environments

Without cattle the area flourishes and regains it's ability to store carbon.

We've identified ~$160 billion in annual subsidies we'd like to reallocate, at 10% annually to rewild the west. The <1% of our nations livestock on public land, don't need to be there. The 600,000 miles of abandoned barbed wire can go and with wildlife overpasses we'd begin to see wildlife recover.

Should be in every newsagents window.

Mark- once again, you say what I'm thinking. Thank you.
