This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

This war is... not going well. Tactical successes mired in a grimy gumbo of staggering strategic failures.

The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs. #PutinPuppet

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

After years of cheap gas and policy whiplash, Americans’ adoption of electric vehicles lags behind that of other nations—and now drivers are literally paying the price, Tim Levin writes.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon briefings since the war against Iran began “have reminded the world why he is exactly the wrong person to hold the position he does,” Peter Wehner argues:

When Trump claimed Iran bombed their own girls school, seems like a good follow up Q would be - “did they bomb their own hospitals also?”

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution: - declared war without Congressional authorization - ignoring multiple court orders - impounding Congressional authorized funds - ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching. Pressurized pure oxygen. Raw camel milk. Under RFK Jr., the FDA has taken down a webpage warning about these and other dangerous remedies claiming to treat autism.

Extremists have reconquered Idaho. Locals are fighting back.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act last year for good reason: it’s an anti-voter bill. But now lawmakers have revived it despite overwhelming public opposition. Tell your senators to reject the SAVE Act: bit.ly/4tmVIor

Let me get this straight: We are to believe that Netanyahu who is a war criminal for his slaughter of Palestinian women and children actually cares about the people Of Iran.

Gavin Newsom was falsely accused of racism in the sort of frenzied social-media pile-on that many have long associated with the left—but this time, it was the populist right launching a frivolous controversy, Conor Friedersdorf argues.

Lauren Boebert is asked to define “inflation.” It does not go well.

ICYMI — “Border Patrol agents left a partially blind refugee who spoke little English in the parking lot of a Buffalo coffee shop the night of Feb. 19... He was found dead five days later.” They say it was open. It wasn’t. 37 degrees outside. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity. We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...

I thought the "War on Fraud" was over and we won?

So disappointed in the USA men's hockey team. I would have thought one of them would have had the guts to speak up. They still could.

The Supreme Court ruling that struck down Donald Trump’s tariffs “is a major setback for Trump’s trade agenda, but it is far from a fatal one,” Rogé Karma argues:

She is awesome to read

Don't expect ICE's crimes and terrorism to end. They're likely not only to continue, but to evolve and adapt for greater evasion of accountability.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.
