All those calls "not to provoke Putin" were delusional and servile to the aggressor.
All those countless "red lines" towards the Kremlin were self-defeatism and appeasement that undermined global security.
All those endless "escalation management" games were only impeding the West's security and Ukraine's ability to fight back, and only facilitated Russia's war machine and encouraged it to expand its aggression.
All those squeals like "Kneel before Putin or face WWIII" or "Not a single bullet for Ukraine" were a crime against humanity that directly played a role in the largest European war of aggression since WWII that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
All those calls for Ukraine to "surrender for peace," or "negotiate a compromise," or "make territorial concessions" and give Russia a chance to catch its break in war now and attack again soon in a better shape -- are only help precipitate an even greater catastrophe and the loss of life.
It's time to finally start feeling things real -- and make ultimate conclusions from what's happening in Russia's Kursk region instead of listening to ivory-towered pseudo-experts and security analysts, as well as irresponsible demagogues.

@KamalaHarris Please please please do not pick Roy Cooper. Yes, he's been a good gov but he's sleepy and low energy. He'll do nothing for your campaign. Get Kelly!

@mattyglesias the ADA restricts both the number of dental schools and the number of dentists who enter the workforce. this is a concerted effort to reduce competition and maintain artificially high prices. anti-dentites unite!

The Airbnb collapse is real.
Revenues are down nearly 50% in cities like Phoenix and Austin.
Watch out for a wave of forced selling from Airbnb owners later this year in the areas hit hardest by the revenue collapse.

While Rs try to blame Buttigieg we learn:
1. Trump removed safety standards
2. DeWine ordered the chem cars be burned
3. DeWine declined Fed assistance
4. DeWine said Norfolk Southern CEO “gave him his word” all would be well
5. CEO no-shows at town hall
6. CEO is a DeWine donor
More and more, I'm convinced that the big policing reform we need is to professionalize the police, through massively increased training requirements and higher education levels.
