Why are prominent figures across U.S. right-wing media doubling down on support for Putin as he’s launching an invasion of Ukraine?
“Now that they’ve embraced total moral bankruptcy, what more do they have to give?” asks @mehdirhasan.

NEW: Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he will stay in Kyiv amid a Russian invasion.
“I think he’s doing it at personal risk because if the Russians do go into Kyiv,” says @steven_pifer, “they’re definitely about regime change and he would be #1 on the list.”

In a rambling war declaration Thursday morning, Vladimir Putin threw everything at the wall in hopes something might stick.

In his invasion announcement Thursday morning, Putin claimed that the "de-nazification" of Ukraine was a justification for military action. But last night, Yale historian @TimothyDSnyder made clear why such claims are baseless.

Some financial analysts have likened ousting Russia from SWIFT as a "nuclear option," saying it would be an unprecedented move against one of the world's largest economies.

What would you do if you were a Supreme Court justice and your wife had a political or financial interest in your case? It’s happened more than once to Justice Clarence Thomas.
