The only way NATO membership is (or was) a threat to Russia, is if Russia invaded Ukraine. This false narrative being pushed by the Russians, and too many Americans, is simply false and ahistorical. Russia has been an aggressive, expansionist state for most of its history.
Trump’s peace negotiator Steven Witkoff: “The war didn't need to happen. It was provoked. It doesn't necessarily mean it was provoked by the Russians There were all kinds of conversations back then about Ukraine joining NATO. It didn't need to happen. It became a threat to 🇷🇺”

We are losing the America we’ve known—fast.
The United States voted today with Russia, North Korea, Belarus and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries, against a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and calling for its occupied territories to be returned, which passed overwhelmingly in the U.N. General Assembly.

Elon Musk has canceled 16 full ride scholarships at the University of Nebraska for students who would have been teachers in impoverished areas. Did anyone vote for this?

The media & public are criminally misinformed about what's actually happened in mental health care since the 1950s. Mental health funding has gone up about 40-fold per capita (adj. for inflation), many more people are taking psychiatric meds, many more people are subjected to

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million. Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is in the running to serve as health and human services secretary, revealed he was carrying up to $1.2 million in credit card debt in recent financial disclosures, per CNBC.

I have met with most of the cabinet nominees and have carefully watched their confirmation hearings. After considering what’s at stake, I have voted against moving forward to the confirmation of Ms. Gabbard and Mr. Kennedy, and will be voting NO on their confirmations.

I was mooting a lawyer yesterday who's been practicing longer than me, but doesn't really do appeals, and it really is stark how much appellate litigation requires a whole different mindset. #AppellateTwitter

So, President-elect Musk and his puppet tank a bipartisan bill that’s been 3 months in the making, and Republicans are trying to blame Dems for the impending shutdown? Aht aht. Dems did their job. The Republican-led House failed to do theirs.

What Musk and Ramaswamy and Trump are doing - shutting down the government and cutting off pay for our troops right at Christmas - is so so dark. They are so filthy wealthy and out of touch and bored that they think it’s fun to mess with the lives of regular people for fun.

CNN just aired a montage of Republicans in Congress, right after January 6, squarely blaming Trump for the insurrection. This is an important reminder as Trump and MAGA Republicans now attempt to rewrite history and target Liz Cheney for investigating Trump’s actions on that

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Sweetie, since you didn't serve and, well, I did, I thought I'd point out a few things about Gen. Milley's uniform you clearly don't understand. See that blue thing above his ribbons? That's the Combat Infantryman Badge. It's awarded to Army soldiers in the Infantry or Special

Regular reminder that spending the night on a sidewalk should not be only way to watch, in real time, the institution that heads up 1/3 of our federal government.

Inspiring how a courageous group of parliamentary legislators stood firm against a President (Yoon Suk Yeol) who overstepped his authorities and attempted to use his nation’s military in repressing democratic rights. A pretty good example of checks on presidential power.

I’ll continue to beat this drum: We’re not paying enough attention to Tulsi Gabbard. She is Trump’s most dangerous pick. At best, she’s just a Putin cheerleader. At worst, she’s a Russian asset. She should be nowhere near American intelligence. She must not be confirmed.

I just wanted to say thank you @KamalaHarris. You ran a wonderful campaign. A hell of a campaign. You appealed to our better angels. You had only 107 days to give it your all. And you did. Thank you for stepping up and trying to bring this country together. You did really well.

My exemplary Representative (D-NJ 3rd) and soon to be my Senator got this right:
That’s right. I just introduced legislation requiring Director of National intelligence and other national security positions to disclose any finance transactions with foreign governments. We wrote this bill well before Nov 5. This is not about politics, it’s about our security.
