It warms my heart every day that a #NAFO brain damaged cartoon dog like me could tick off russia so much in 2023 with a Zelenskyy meme that it appeared on russian state TV and social media. 👍🤣
$1500 medical health insurance subsidy instead of ACA subsidies? That wouldn't even cover one month of the premium Mr. Bonkious and I would pay if we we were 64 years old. Duh. 😠🤬
Cassidy and Crapo’s legislation would give HSA funding to those earning less than 700 percent of the poverty level, $1,000 for people ages 18 to 49 and $1,500 for those 50 to 65.
Cassidy, Crapo unveil alternative to Obamacare subsidies
Their bill, released Monday, is intended to replace the enhanced subsidies that are about to expire.

JUST IN: Ukraine will NOT surrender territory, President Zelensky declared Monday, rejecting a central Russian demand that Donald Trump had incorporated into his “peace plan.”

Zelensky rules out ceding land to Russia, refusing to bow to Putin or Trump
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country would not give up territory, not to hasten peace talks, not to satisfy Washington and not under pressure from Moscow.

In Minnesota we’re cutting social security taxes, allowing Minnesotans to age in their homes, and investing in safe communities.

That’s what makes us the second-best state to retire. Give us a few more days above 0° and we’ll knock Florida out of #1 😎

Oh FFS. As with so many other important things, Trump ping pongs between his claims that all of Ukraine is flattened to "a missile fell in the center of Kyiv or somewhere else." 🤦
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump: "A lot of people are dying, and I want it to stop... Last month, 27,000 soldiers died—mostly soldiers, a few more because a missile fell in the center of Kyiv or somewhere else, which is a terrible thing, but mostly soldiers.

What we're doing is spending time for humanitarian reasons."

Between January and February 2026, the Czech company LPP will deliver a trial batch of its new Narwhal cruise missiles to Ukraine. Before moving to mass production, the company aims to secure a 'combat-proven' certification—hence the first batch will be sent to Ukraine 👀

Trump calls Somali immigrants “garbage.” His VP cheers him on. Meanwhile, families are being torn apart, asylum is being shut down, aid is being gutted, and the military is firing on survivors in the water.

Cruelty is becoming national policy—silence is complicity.

Trump’s Dehumanization Campaign Is Becoming Normalized
A president who calls immigrants “garbage” is dangerous enough. A country that grows desensitized to it is even more frightening.

In the past 100 years.

Russia has invaded 19 countries.

During that time no country had invaded Russia until Ukraine had taken territory in Kursk following the full scale invasion of Ukraine.

Russian excuses do not fool anyone.

Russia is a Terrorist State.

Because the United States is pulling back, we must support Ukraine more strongly. If Ukraine falls, Russia will be at our border - and Washington won’t come to save us.

What does that mean? The era of the “security guarantee” is over. Washington now treats us more like an annoying client state that’s supposed to pay tribute, or like an economic rival that must be kept in check.

The talk of Europe’s “civilizational decline” in the NSS is a slap in the face. They no longer entrust us with the future. Anyone who writes about partners in this way won’t defend them when it really counts.

For Trump, it’s "States over Institutions." The EU as a force for order is seen as a hostile construct that stands in the way of U.S. interests. In the economic worldview of this administration, we are not an ally, but a competitor that must be made to pay up.

The United States is no longer interested in Europe. Even more: This administration no longer views Europe - and specifically the EU - as a partner, but rather, in large part, as strategic ballast, as an economic adversary, and as a civilization in decline.

OTD in 1987 the USSR signed the INF treaty in Washington. By developing the Novator 9M129 (SSC-8), we violated it.

So Donald can totally trust us that we won't screw him on his "business deals" in Russia. lol.

In a nutshell: if you are immune impaired or immune suppressed Covid makes that worse - and not just temporarily. If you have cardiovascular disease, Covid really nails your immune functions, and again, not just temporarily.
