AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The war, which by January will have lasted longer than Russia’s battle against the Nazis in 1941-45, inspires neither pride nor optimism. The Kremlin is well aware of the change in public mood
Russia is not as resilient as it wants you to think
But Vladimir Putin will keep fighting, and claiming victory prematurely

At present, authorities tend to shut down airspace and halt flights rather than risk an accident. That approach makes it easy for a malicious actor to cause havoc and makes European governments look helpless

It’s when my husband tells stories about the time he told a reporter he wanted her to have his baby, and then we learned all about felching, and the 37 affairs he documented in his diary during his previous marriage. There’s just no time like the holidays in the Kennedy house!

Democracy is messy.
Democracy is inconvenient. Democracy is disagreement.
What he’s describing as “unity” is authoritarian control.
One person issues an order, dissent is suppressed, and compliance is enforced.
If you want unanimity by decree, you don’t want unity, you want obedience.👇

Remember Yalta? Last time USA was involved in splitting Europe we ended up with the Iron Curtain while millions of Europeans suffered under Kremlyn's tyranny for decades. Never again!
Trump’s National Security Strategy is deeply alarming.
Not only does it push for closer ties with Russia, it also threatens the UK and the EU by opening the door to US foreign interference in Europe.
Putin has welcomed this strategy. The Prime Minister must condemn it.
