President Zelenskyy: Lifting sanctions will strengthen Russia’s position. "Russia spends the money it earns from energy exports on weapons, which are then used to attack us. …So lifting sanctions only to end up facing even more drones later, in my view, is not the right decision."

Lovely. So we can fund the billion dollar Mid States Corridor Project with even more of our tax dollars. And then we can sell the I-70 toll road to another country like they did the I-80 toll road up north. THAT 99 year lease was supposed to keep the rest of our roads in good shape indefinitely.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
