In 1994, Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons with the guarantee that its sovereignty and territorial integrity would be protected by the US, UK, and Russia. Nobody has lived up to their obligations (except Ukraine).

and didn't the west agree to protect Ukraine in return for them giving up their nukes? why isn't that central to discussions of peace?

In 1991, 92 percent of Ukrainians voted for independence.

Ukraine will stay free

Former Trump personal lawyer Alina Habba is unlawfully serving as the US attorney for New Jersey, appeals court says | CNN Politics A federal appeals court on Monday found Alina Habba, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, is serving unlawfully as US attorney for New Jersey, dealing a legal blow to the Trump administr...

Donald Trump attempted to bypass the Senate’s constitutional role by installing a loyalist to act as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. From the beginning, I have objected to Trump's maneuvers to keep his preferred nominee in power and the court today affirmed that those maneuvers were unlawful.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A classic.

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families this holiday weekend.

So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail.

Pay all workers a living wage.

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

New lawsuit accuses Binance of ‘knowingly’ enabling Oct. 7 terror attacks Among the 306 American plaintiffs are the families of Israeli Americans Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Itay Chen

Hmmm....

Trump pardoned the criminal founder of Binance last month.

Trump's crypto scams are tied to Binance.

Now a new lawsuit accuses Binance of knowingly enabling Oct. 7 terror attacks.

Where there is corruption and death, there is Trump.

My law firm is currently litigating 11 redistricting cases in 10 states. We are also litigating an additional 54 voting and election cases in 27 states.

This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.

Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

We’ve had people from the U.S. and abroad asking whether the information on the White House website is even accurate anymore. The site has become unreliable, filled with blatantly false and deliberately misleading content.

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."

Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"

Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Dem leaders should just call him a lying sack of shit.

First, it’s memorable.

Second, it’s true

This is how people get Cabinet appointments in the Trump admin.

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

It’s as stupid as it sounds.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

44 year ago, I drew this cartoon, proving the far right really played the long game.

Robert Reich A Warning from 1994 of a Two-Tiered Society | Robert Reich

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

A reporter was berated and demeaned by Donald Trump with a basic question and not one person (no men) a bunch of whomps said nothing to back her up. Its sick.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.
