We have leverage over Russia in that when we delay or signal doubt on Ukraine's cause, the Russians attack more and harder. In that sense, we are also participating in the killing of Ukrainians. www.thebulwark.com/p/mixed-sign...

Mixed Signals from Washington Cost Lives in Ukraine

Dithering, delaying, and doubting only invite Russian attacks.

Sinema betrayed those who voted her as a Democrat. She morphed into a MAGA because she saw greater notoriety and financial rewards from being one of them. She’s gone and good riddance. Arizona is better represented by Ruben Gallego who cares more about his state than Sinema.

Trump’s one to talk about legality and ethics! He really has, pardon my language, “hard on” about the 2020 election. He’s the victim who led a coup to overthrow the government. This delusion extends to calling the January 6th convicted felons “patriots.” This man/child is dangerously insane.

For an effective tariff rate that's now at about 9%, pass through to consumer prices has been somewhat muted. But if you listen to earnings calls, that's a mirage: Businesses are saying they'll have to keep raising prices to make up for the new costs.

Scary comparison.

America’s Perón

Decades of personalist rule turned Argentina into a global economic laughingstock. Donald Trump seems to have misunderstood the lesson.

He sends them into blue cities, he uses them to blow up what he claims are drug-running boats in international waters—and now he pays them, he says, on his own authority. This is a dangerous argument that the troops work not for us but for him. www.thebulwark.com/p/time-to-sh...
