Mexico has invited countries worldwide to send aid to them, and they will deliver it to Cuba, officially becoming an aid bridge to the Island. Mexico fully rejects the US blockade, and the Navy will continue to escort humanitarian ships to protect them from the US. Says:

"Cuba is not alone."

Itโ€™s not just Medicaid funding theyโ€™re withholding to MN. Itโ€™s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

This isnโ€™t about just one investigation. Itโ€™s about a presidency treating the entire legal system as something to be broken or bent whenever it stands in the way.

My community has been clear: we want a government that is accountable to the people. Thatโ€™s why I was honored to invite Lisa Phillips to attend the State of the Union and make clear that the powerful will not be shielded from justice.

1/ Russians who have never served in the Russian army and have never signed a military contract are nonetheless being rounded up as deserters and sent to their deaths in assault squads. It's the result of an ongoing and still unresolved bureaucratic blunder by Russia's MOD. โฌ‡๏ธ

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think Iโ€™m good on hockey for the rest of the season. Itโ€™s been, like, really ruined.

Look: people are calling Trump a pro-tax Republican president, but itโ€™s only fair to point out that he hiked taxes for most people while handing tax breaks to Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people ever to live, and Amazon, the company he launched.

We are in the third struggle for the soul of our nation.

The first was the War Against Slavery. The second was the Civil Rights Movement. This is the third: the Fight Against Fascism & Oligarchy.

They want revenge for losing Rounds 1-2. Once again, itโ€™s up to We the Working People to defeat them.

I'm not going to the State of the Union. Trump has made a mockery of this tradition and I'm not going to show up and pretend everything's normal. I worked with

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Trump has erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A. The HI is now slated to be entirely exhausted by 2040, even though the balance generally increases through 2031, as spending will begin to outstrip income in the following year. finance.yahoo.com/news/less-tr...

fighting alone on equal terms against the full military power of Russia,
with the Ukrainian flag over every regional capital that was free from occupation that night,

Surge Signs Mount as Federal Contracts Reveal Major Expansion of ICE Detentions in Baltimore Region Procurement records, staged vehicles, and firsthand accounts from inside the agency's field office suggest a surge in detention operations is imminent.

What a meal contract reveals about ICE's plans for Baltimore: a nearly threefold increase in detainee capacity, a contested new facility already named in procurement records, and a city bracing for what comes next.

Russia hitting the hotel filled with foreign volunteers immediately after Trump cut intelligence to Ukraine is probably not a coincidence.

Ever since Ukraine reduced intel sharing with the US they started doing better in the battlefield, funny how that works out.

Ukraine decision also came after several acts of sabotage by the US.
