Sarah Longwell's "How to Eat an Elephant" offers useful advice for Democratic politics. Yet it is also based on a false history of the GOP.

This is a must listen. This podcast dissects the deposition of two Doge Bros. They lack remorse, and were remarkably stupid. They were hired because they were fans of Musk, not because of competency. They should be held to account! #Dogebros podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

How about the #DogeBros and the destruction they wreaked. The tapes of their testimony were removed by Trump from the internet- they show utter incompetence and lack of empathy.
Doge bros that damaged lives and destroyed about 400,000 jobs.

The answer is for Ukraine to intensify and expand its attacks on Russian fuel infrastructure. Allied nations need to mobilise all resources to help Ukraine survive winter, protect energy infrastructure and ensure it has the means to sustain its defence. #StrongerTogether
• Flags: A line of national flags of European and allied nations (including the EU, Canada, the United Kingdom, and others) is displayed along a ridge or background structure.

• Military Logistics: Cargo planes (resembling a C-17 Globemaster) airdropping supplies via parachutes, military transport trucks, and stacks of crates in a snowy winter setting.
• Soldiers: Uniformed personnel wearing blue-and-yellow armbands (symbolizing Ukrainian colors) in a snowy fortification or defensive position.

• Slogan: The text "STRONGER TOGETHER" is prominently featured across the center of the image.

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.
