If Europe truly wants the Ukraine war to end, “give them the means to take out the factories that make Russia’s drones.” Or act to “unfreeze Mr. Putin’s assets, and give the cash to the Ukrainians” as a start on war reparations. In the wake of Free Beacon reporting debunking his claim that the Ku Klux Klan drove his family out of the country in the 1920s, his comms team “went ballistic,” insisting that a racist failure to understand the “vagaries and inconsistencies” of black Americans’ “oral tradition” explains away Moore’s “false statements and prevarications.” Sorry: “Accusing” critics “of racism while offering no substantive response” just won’t fly. Dems’ key “problem does not arise from their actions in Washington, but from the bad outcomes in cities and states where Democrats hold power.” Argh: The “unsound state laws and city policies advanced by” urban progressives now define “Democratic governance.” Since 2024, centrist Dems hoped to solve this “simply by selecting more moderate candidates and refining campaign messaging.” No: “Progressive policies have led to rising crime, uncontrolled spending, recurring fiscal shortfalls, higher taxes, and visible mismanagement.” To win the White House, national Democrats must “regain control over the policy direction of progressive Democratic-run states and cities.”
