First is that they don't think it would really change anything. Second is that they don't see what's in it for them. Trump, unable to think about anyone but himself for even a second, hasn't bothered to persuade them it's to their benefit to take such a serious risk. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoC2v8P0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvamN2cHRqcm42Ni8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW5rdGFrcTdkNHMmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZif85ihm91Qe91IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRoC2v8P0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcXRpcGZ1YmIyMy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW5rdGFrcTdkNHNXA3NwY0IKZif85ihm91Qe91IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoC2v8P0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvYzF6NXliOW8zYy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW5rdGFrcTdkNHNXA3NwY0IKZif85ihm91Qe91IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoC2v8P0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcmQ1dm82aWJydS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW5rdGFrcTdkNHNXA3NwY0IKZif85ihm91Qe91IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoC2v8P0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZjhrazJnM25ndy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW5rdGFrcTdkNHNXA3NwY0IKZif85ihm91Qe91IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo What GOP success stalling Ukraine aid has wrought From Lucian Truscott: Both chambers of Congress, including the Republican-led and disarrayed House of Representatives, [just passed](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoC2v8P0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsveGhreXd6MW1uOC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW5rdGFrcTdkNHNXA3NwY0IKZif85ihm91Qe91IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) a supplemental foreign aid bill that includes $61 billion for Ukraine. Passage of the bill came after months of Republican stalling on aid for the besieged nation, largely at the behest of House Republicans’ Dear Leader, Donald Trump. The immediate media analysis is already questioning if the aid will be enough for Ukraine to stave off an expected offensive push by Russia expected to begin sometime in June. That is equation number one: Take the sum total of the U.S. aid bound for Ukraine and divide it by the per-unit cost of weapons such as ammunition for 155 mm howitzers that has been in short supply since last fall. That equation is intended to produce the number of shells Ukraine will reap from the aid package, at which point there will be yet another spate of news analysis asking if that number is enough.

Ian, who was more of a music connoisseur than I, informed me that he’d listened to Taylor’s entire catalog driving our oldest to school each day, and not only did she have more songs, she largely wrote them herself and played guitar.
