Avdiivka

John: Over the weekend, Avdiivka fell to Russian forces. Brave Ukrainians fought and died defending the city for months. They were forced to withdraw because they ran out of ammunition. It’s the latest development in a conflict where our allies have stepped up to defend Ukraine and their figh…

Lies, damned lies

The GOP thinks they can oppose funding for Ukraine and avoid any accountability for it. Trump thinks he can steamroll NATO and avoid any repercussions. This kind of thing really gets on my nerves, John. I know what happened on that call. I was the one who reported it. Trump blocked critical a…

Our Newest Video - “Appeasement”

Republicans used to stand up for freedom. Now they stand for Putin. When we say that we’re not going to let Trump get away with kowtowing to Putin, appeasing his expansionist ambitions, undermining NATO, endangering our national security — we mean it. Watch our newest video, “Appeasement” Con…

Trump would lead us to war

When Trump encourages Putin like that, when he publicly rails against the alliance that has kept the populations of western democracies at peace for the past 75 years, we sit up and take notice. Team, let’s make something especially clear: The point of NATO is encouraging peace, not war. Invit…

NATO is not a suggestion. It is an iron-clad commitment. It has kept western democracies — including our own — safe for 75 years. John: This is Wesley Clark, retired U.S. Army General and former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the Kosovo War. NATO is not a suggestion. It is an iron-clad…

Traitor

Trump’s trial

John, Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments to decide whether Trump’s incitement of insurrection on January 6th, 2021 is enough to keep him off of the ballot in 2024. That attack was directed at our seat of government. Our Constitution. The peaceful transfer of power. We swore an oat…

Trump has directed the GOP to block any deal for Ukraine aid

This will have a real cost. John, it’s Alex Vindman.   Trump has directed the GOP to block any deal for Ukraine aid. He’s doing it to withhold any bipartisan “win” for President Biden. McConnell himself has admitted it. The fact is Trump is helping Putin and many more Ukrainians will die as a r…
