Today, the world marks the tragic anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The good news is that Ukraine won the first year of this war. The bad news is that the war continues, with no plans from Russian leader Vladimir Putin to retreat or negotiate. He's playing a long game, expecting the collective West to eventually lose interest. We cannot allow that to happen. Indeed, it is in America's interest to stay the course and help Ukraine achieve victory.
Ukrainian soldiers astonished the world last year by stopping Russia's assault on Kyiv, liberating over half of the territory once held by Russian occupiers, and thwarting Putin's attempt to overthrow President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine's democracy. By providing weapons and economic aid, the U.S., NATO and other democracies have played a critical role in helping Ukrainians achieve these victories.

Here, we explore works Republicans want to keep under wraps. |

This Black History Month, "Into America" celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with a special mini-series, "Into America presents Street Disciples: Politics, Power and the Rise of Hip-Hop." Hosted by Trymaine Lee, the series explores how our country's political and economic forces shaped half a century of hip-hop, and how over time, hip-hop shaped the country.
In episode four, Trymaine explores how in the late 90s, mainstream hip-hop had largely begun to shed its political messaging. Then, the backlash against a Republican government brought politics back to hip-hop once more, leading to the mobilization of a generation and the first hip-hop president: Barack Obama.
