Colour me unsurprised Olga! Putins puppets have been doing the works of his mentor Aleksandr Dugin for decades… nothing that comes out the Kremlin is surprising! Thanks for all you do!!
Do you have evidence showing that Dugin is Putin's mentor? I rather see him as an independent ideologue who strongly supports Putin and whose ideology Putin uses more an more to justify his actions. Dugin IS a key figure in what is going on in the West today, however, since many neofascist Western leaders, including Steve Bannon, met him and basically agree with the very essence of his ideas. In this way, Putin managed to convince part of the GOP elites, who like to see themselves as intellectuals, to abandon democracy as "weak" and adopt neofascism, including as a path to stable world peace.
I firmly believe that the only way to combat these enemies is to sue them. Everyone who’s being targeted needs to bring defamation lawsuits against the liars. This strategy could at least slow the attacks down if the perpetrators have to worry about their own culpability.
I am ashamed that Sen Schumer will vote for budget and I expressed so directly on his contact page. I wrote: I realize govt shutdown would be catastrophic, yet aren’t we already experiencing that right now? Its been dismantled at every turn for the last 53 days. PLEASE - NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT! Constructive criticism: you are a polite statesman. That is of NO BENEFIT NOW. DEMOCRATS MUST ROAR LIKE LIONS! Cease the toothless, spineless efforts to find solutions as per norms and methods of YESTERYEAR. We have crossed the RUBICON. FIGHT LIKE LARSON, GREEN, like our lives depend on it. Sir, thank you for your service... pass the torch, with pride. Leader Jeffries: TIME TO HIT THEM BACK HARD. NO DIPLOMATIC TALK. ABSOLUTE RAGE is far more appropriate. We are in the streets protesting. Let the GOP own it. Pull Schumer in line. Thank you.
It's not that simple. I too wanted him to refuse to vote for it, but after reading his arguments, I think he's right. With a government shutdown, NO agency is still financed, so everyone needs to be furloughed. That is EXACTLY what Trump wants. We would no longer have ANY legal means to fight the mass firing and the defunding of programs, since Congress wouldn't have make it legal for the White House to do so. Whereas passing this CR means obviously making it legal for Trump to end some programs, but it will remain illegal to stop funding most of them.
There are no good options here. This is not a normal shutdown, it's a shutdown that would simultaneously give the GOP everything that it wants, and SO much faster, and in a much more irreversible way. So Schumer (as is very often the case, by the way) is right.
This was told to us beforehand. At least those of us who read Project 2025 could see this writing on the wall. Law firms are having to go to court to get their rights. It is a huge expense and distraction. Would this be happening if SCOTUS had not said that with their approval a president does not need to be held accountable for what they do. They worded it in a way that Biden could not count on it, because the final decision rests with them. This is how supposed Christians take over the country and destroy it.
I feel that we need to be finding a site to gather these stories. A collaborative shared history of the destruction of the United States. At this point I call it the Un-United States, and I am for a Blue State Secession. I am thinking that might be the only way to save any shred of Democracy is for Blue States to officially secede, or to unofficially secede, and start pooling monies to start that own health agency with shared information that contradicts what Kennedy is saying when he is wrong, and ignores him and releases their own information. They should also have their own media, and perhaps join with the other countries of NATO that are thinking of eschewing collaborating with the US for defense and intelligence. Also, that funds health care research. Then, to fund primary and secondary educational research.
Where will the money come from? There might be a tax escrow account that holds federal taxes from Blue States in investments, preferably in Blue State economies, and is willing to pay them to the Federal government when we see a return on these taxes in the way of federal services. The largest being Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. In fact, conditionally. Isn't this what we are doing to Putin's assets that we have? Blue States have assets that could be withheld until things are fixed. A new Project 2025 called 2025 Blue State Solution.
If you Keep DOGE and Musk,
You’ll get NO tax money from us.
I like the Blue State secession ideas of Gary Whittenberger, although I would prefer to call a secession The Democratic States of America. There would be a 1 year period to decide which side you are on, with money to move in either case. I say the target year should be 2026.

This is very important -- and upsetting -- information. Thank you, as always!

Scary (watching in dismay from Canada). 😢

Very disturbing!!😳
Martin the Marionette needs to understand that he is way over the edge and he will live to regret his pissing on the Law.
WTF DO YOU SUGGEST?? 😡😡
You just said there is nothing attorney or judges or congress can do . The only "thing" left is violence.
WTF DO YOU SUGGEST?? 😡
PROTESTING DOES NOTHING. IT IS EQUIVALENT TO A FLY ON RUMP SHOULDER!!!
Basically, we're FUCKED.
We need military. But evidently, what remains of our military is likely ALSO AFRAID.
