We strongly disagree with this decision. The ratings model used by Fitch declined under President Trump and then improved under President Biden, and it defies reality to downgrade the United States at a moment when President Biden has delivered the strongest recovery of any major economy in the world. And it's clear that extremism by Republican officials-from cheerleading default, to undermining governance and democracy, to seeking to extend deficit-busting tax giveaways for the wealthy and corporations-is a continued threat to our economy.

It's been a year since Russia first launched a full invasion of Ukraine, and, right now, peace seems impossible.    Peace talks between the two countries have launched, and then faltered, multiple times.   In February 2023, a senior Ukrainian official said that peace talks are 'out of the question' – without Ukraine's reclaiming its territory that Russia overtook 2022.   All wars end, however, and research shows that almost half end in some type of agreement to stop the fighting. The others end in victory for one side or when, for a variety of reasons, the fighting simply peters out.
