Ukraine today is Britain in 1940, standing alone against aggression while others debate. The U.S. and Europe have a moral and practical obligation to stand with them. I joined @JessicaDean on @CNN.

George W. and Laura Bush are backing James Talarico against Trump's terrible candidate Ken Paxton

As a kid, I worked for John Reed and Bill Cohen. In college, I became a Democrat because of an ill-advised war , like Trump's adventure in Iran. One goes to college to learn new things. I learned to be a Democrat.

Choosin' Wrong

Good news, red staters. Lots of jobs now open to pick fruit and vegetables in the broiling sun on minimum wage

I think it's weird how few people are troubled by the gist of Sayed's Islamophobia defense. If you say that asking about support for the Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamophobic attack on your religion, then at some level you're suggesting -- or at least encouraging the inference -- that the MB's form of Islam defines or informs your interpretation of Islam. There are lots of Muslims that don't subscribe to the MB version and when you ask them about the Muslim Brotherhood, they don't respond by saying "how dare you attack my religion?"

Alex and I at Writers Block on Thursday.

I don’t expect a Brit who lives under a monarchy — No Kings! — to understand that in the American republic, the bar for treason is set extremely high, and almost nobody in the history of the country, even the Rosenbergs, has ever been charged, must less convicted of treason. That said, Ukraine violated the terms of use for Starlink, which @ElonMusk had given them to use in the early days of the war to help their effort. They tried to use it for targeting of weapons. Not to mention, it’s his property. He could do whatever he wants with it. It has nothing to do with the government. And I was speaking of the UK, why don’t you dispatch some troops to Ukraine? Why don’t you send the two or three ships you have left in the Royal Navy? Do you want to get into a nuclear war with Russia, go ahead. You signed the Budapest memorandum. Do you want to treat it as if it’s a binding document, which it is not, then get your satellites and your soldiers over there and defend Ukraine. It will be a noble endeavor.

OBAMA: Iran didn't have nuclear weapons because I had put a deal in place and I didn't have to fire a missile to do it. I just had to engage in diplomacy.

What no love for Manimal? In all seriousness, anyone remember “Probe” from the late 80s? Bad title in retrospect, but clever and way ahead of its time. Oh and Sledgehammer!

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Elon Musk will have to testify under oath in televised hearings where he will be presented with evidence that his destruction of USAID led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people through malnutrition, starvation, and disease because they were denied lifesaving medicines by Elon Musk and literally denied food in the middle of a famine by Elon Musk personally. Democrats do not fear the empty lying threats of Elon Musk who has no sword that he can threaten them with”

Climate change killed 32,000+ people in Europe this summer. Trump believes this crisis is a "hoax." Republicans in Congress are following their "Great Leader.” NO to Trump’s fossil fuel agenda. YES to creating millions of jobs by moving our energy system away from fossil fuels.

Freeland: The President is destroying the US market. In fact, your stock market is performing worse than the stock markets in Europe or Canada. And all of this for what reason? Because Canadians aren't being nice enough. The end result was doing something that's hard to do... making Canadians angry.
