                    THANK YOU VERMONT! Good News For Us, Bad News For Trump Onward. Scott Dworkin Mar 2 Before we start another week of Musk and Trump’s madness, I’m happy to deliver another round of positive news today. I hope it gives you at least some relief—and shows you there are great people fighting this tyranny. Trump’s planned Oval Office ambush of Zelensky continues to backfire, as thousands rallied in support of Ukraine in Times Square on Saturday. There were similar demonstrations held in Los Angeles, Boston, and other cities across the country. JD Vance went on a ski trip to Vermont this weekend, where hundreds of people lined the streets with pro-Ukraine and anti-Trump/Musk/Vance signs.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon called it “a bad day for America’s foreign po...

The belief that Post owner Jeff Bezos has  just ended the tradition  of open debate that has guided this paper’s editorial page for generations. “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” Bezos...
