And for what? A promise of a vote they will lose. When the base has been screaming at them to fight harder, they showed that they would cave harder, for even less, than before. Showing Trump and Republicans they were right not even to negotiate - no need to, democrats will roll over anyway.

Leave it to a a handful of Senate Democrats to cave in a moment where they held actual political power, leverage, had momentum, when the base finally felt something akin of hope and excitement again. Truly stunning.

Beyond policy considerations and electoral politics, Tuesday provided a lot of people with a brief spark of hope that maybe our democracy is not already dead, and Democrats immediately capitulating to anti-democracy forces for no discernible benefit is a great way to extinguish that spark.

Polish PM Donald Tusk says there are no objective reasons Ukraine should lose the war. In an interview with Gazeta Wyborcza, he warned that Ukraineโs defeat would drastically worsen Polandโs security, and stressed the need to build a strong partnership with a sovereign Ukraine.

Sudan is experiencing the largest humanitarian crisis ever recorded.
12 million people have been displaced โ that is the population of the state of Georgia. And more than 635,000 people are facing famine.
We must push for an arms embargo on Sudan and get aid in immediately.
