Watch. Share. This really matters.

Am just in awe of @ZelenskyyUa.

Putin is a monster. So are his American enablers, Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Tucker Carlson, Roger Stone, Mike Pompeo, Devin Nunes.

My great hope for the Biden Presidency, as I wrote in this @Letras_Libres essay in 2020, was for him to lead a reinvigoration of the global liberal order imagined and built by US after WWII.

What we might be witnessing now. And it’s remarkable to see.

When I think of Biden and his role in US history, I always saw him as a potential modern day Cincinnatus, coming out of retirement to save the Republic.

That feels more true today than any other day of his still young Presidency.
And the cowardice and complicity of the GOP in the face of the dark Putin-Trump alliance will become as known to future generations as Zelenskyy's bravery and courage.

It is the essential contrast of the moment.

Do watch. Connect with what is happening there. Be inspired by the incredible courage Ukrainians are showing. #StandWithUkraine

Come to understand what a monster Putin is, be angry at his enablers here in the US, recognize the enormity of their betrayal.
Russia has attacked our country too. That attack was covered up, memory holed by Trump and his MAGA followers.

There needed to be a reckoning for what Putin has done, and it appears that day is finally here. We need to resolute about what comes next.

Noted economist @robshapiro out w/a new analysis in @monthly showing that even after inflation Americans were better off in 2021.

The more the data we have the more we come to understand just how successful Joe Biden's economic plan has been. 1/

washingtonmonthly.com/2022/02/23/not…
The Council of Economy Advisors released a report yesterday with new data showing that real wages were up for all Americans, and as Rob writes in his piece, the biggest gains were in the bottom 50%. 2/

Why we've been arguing that Dems need to be selling the success of Biden's plan, and talking far less about inflation/lowering costs.

Our fear is that by leading w/lowering costs we end up raising/validating central GOP attack against us.

Ways Trump helped Putin in Ukraine:

2016 R Convention removal of "lethal" weapons to Ukraine/Manafort's hiring

2019/2022 upending of G7 over Russia's absence (punishment for Crimea)

Ongoing denigration of NATO, Zelenskyy (was Impeached 4 this)

More 👇

Dems simply must prioritize moving major climate legislation as part of its effort to counter Russia now.

Malevolence of petro-dictators is there for all to see. It is another powerful reason to race towards decarbonization.

Most of the world is turning against Putin, and for good reason.

This speech is a must listen, and it helps remind Americans of the stakes in Ukraine.

Now might be a good time to release detailed information about holdings of Russian oligarchs, so they can see what is at stake with Putin's aggression.

Pressure has to be turned up now.

Democrats should introduce the climate provisions of BBB this week and fight for rapid passage.

We have to make a massive effort to accelerate decarbonization part of our response to Putin's aggression.

Krugman cites @NavigatorSurvey polling discussed in a @ThePlumLineGS column, which is linked below.
All of this is about Democrats being loud and proud about their achievements, staying more in what I call positive not negative space.

More below. Do check out @robshapiro excellent work on Biden’Boom.

And join us in telling the story that with Biden things are better.
