We can't blame the Ukrainians for defending themselves in the face of invasion when Putin is the one refusing to negotiate.

Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

Dan Osborn is running to become Nebraska's next U.S. Senator, and he's doing it from outside the two-party system. Osborn discusses breaking with both parties, opposing the Iran war, and how he plans to win over Trump voters.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the overwhelming support of the United States Congress, he has the overwhelming support of the American people, and he has the overwhelming support of the Ukrainian people. Russian illegally invaded Ukraine, a sovereign and freedom-loving nation, and Russia is squarely to blame for all damage and destruction, to both lives and treasure, that has resulted from Putin’s unprovoked attack.
@ZelenskyyUa, you know that the United States Congress, and the American people, stand 100% behind you. The Ukrainian people are so blessed to have you leading them in these difficult times. We have your back, and we will stand with you until Ukrainian victory is achieved. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

"He didn't just speak up for himself; he spoke up for a lot of people who live in silence with that. So, to Lane Johnson, thank you for being you."

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

“Besides, what bad, un-conservative things could Democrats do? I mean, are they going to start another forever war in the Middle East? Start socializing industries? Raise the national debt to $40 trillion? Cause abortion rates to rise? Increase the cost of groceries and gas? Pal around with socialists (like Zohran Mamdani)? Suck up to communists (like Chinese President Xi Jinping)? Nominate a bunch of weirdos, drunks and inexperienced hacks to the Cabinet? Pursue self-enrichment? Start building monuments to themselves? Threaten to use the power of government on their opponents?”

"If you’re a conservative, it’s just really hard to come up with a credible reason why returning Trump’s enablers to Congress this November will help accomplish anything resembling conservative policies or values. All it will do is ensure Trump has zero accountability as he drives America into a financial ditch with one hand and crumples the Constitution with the other."

Climate hysteria was everywhere.
Media and politicians claimed it was “existential.”
Bill Gates wrote a book on “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.”
But something changed.
Now he writes: “We should measure success on human welfare more than … global temperature.”

Today, Country First released a new ad.
I'm a veteran; I won't stand by while Trump turns our Military into a political weapon. Troops don't belong at polling locations. Yet Trump refuses to rule it out.
Keeping the Military away from the Ballot Box isn't partisan. It's American.

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

The president said it plainly in the Oval Office, describing his own planned action as a “ban on the free press.”
The Constitution protects the freedom of the press from government interference. That protection does not depend on whether the president likes a news organization’s coverage, agrees with its reporting, or approves of the questions its journalists ask.
This is about more than the rights of journalists. It is about the right of the American people to receive a full and independent account of the activities, policies and decisions of whoever occupies the nation’s highest office.
The WHCA stands in defense of our colleagues at CNN, MSNOW, and POLITICO who are being singled out for doing their jobs.
- Jacqui Heinrich, WHCA President

Trump just reaffirmed his intention to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House. Such a move would be an assault on long-honored principles of a free press. I have often joined in the criticism over the bias of these outlets, but barring disfavored media from the White House is a terrible precedent and practice...

The cheapest war is the one your enemies can’t afford to start. Make Putin pay. Make Beijing watch.
I will be voting to pass the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act.
It’s long overdue.

My heart is united with the suffering of the people of #Ukraine, who have lived in anguish and fear for years. I renew my appeal to put an end to the violence, halt the destruction, and open hearts to dialogue and #peace! I hope that the efforts undertaken in recent days to resume negotiations will bear concrete fruit and make room for diplomacy. Let us #PrayTogether to the Lord that concord may prevail in every conflict throughout the world.

"The Overton window in our politics is open for all these crazy ideas," says @SpeakerRyan, "but it's closed for things like debt reduction. So, our politics are just fundamentally unserious right now." cnb.cx/460YXrd

A big reason for the trade imbalance? We were buying oil at below market rates from Canada. We had a sweat heart deal. Take oil imports out of it and we had a trade surplus. This thing with Canada is moronic. And the people buying into Trump's bizarre misunderstanding of basic facts and economics are telling on themselves.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US Census Bureau data shows the average annual US goods trade deficit with Canada was about $38 billion over 2016-2025, not $60 billion. Much of the deficit is from energy imports; excluding them the US has typically run a surplus.

Socialism has failed so many times that at least some people understand that it wrecks economies.
Fewer understand that it also leads to violence, but @GloriaAlvarez85 does:

Liev Schreiber: "Lot of people think that I'm involved in Ukraine because I have Ukrainian grandparents, but I'm involved in Ukraine because I'm American, and I think that the cause of democracy is probably clearer here than anywhere else in the world right now, at least to me."
