The White House is hosting Conor McGregor today, who the Irish High Court ruled four months ago assaulted and raped a woman. Press Secretary Karoline Levitt says the Trump Administration "couldn't think of a better guest to have on St Patrick's Day." He will be meeting Trump later.

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

Zelensky has not refused to negotiate. He has refused to surrender to a murderous dictator who has illegally invaded his country youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

Whoever supports this is a murderous ghoul

They will never say his name. Some mystery person is doing all this stuff. He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Today’s shameful spectacle of Trump’s meeting with President Zelenskyy will prove to be a huge miscalculation on Trump’s part. I’ve spoken to over two dozen people so far—Republicans, Democrats and independents. Without exception, they’re angry and embarrassed by what they saw on TV. Truly shocking.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

To me it looks like Trump is deeply, deeply compromised - -and something happened after the Macron & Starmer visits that has him panicking. That was not a relaxed and confident man.

You stupid, opportunistic, traitorous bastards. You’ve all done such unforgivable harm to our country, risking our safety, prosperity and wellbeing in your nasty, populist cravings for power. You stink of him. Shame on you all forever.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

No point engaging in further rhetoric. The truth of the matter is now plain to see. America has sided with Russia and against Ukraine. It is on the side of tyranny. The fundamental questions from this point out are practical, not political.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

Starmer now adding an ‘if not, no worries’ to his offer of a state visit

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Trump is a disgrace to the United States and the human race.

Trump to Zelenskyy: "You’re either going to make a deal or we are out and if we’re out, you’ll fight it out [with Russia]. I don’t think it’s going to be pretty" Textbook racketeering.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

We are nearing a precipice.

This is fascism.

Ireland is now the most popular place for parkrun worldwide, with around 9% of the population now registered

100% this. Cracking read. We either have morals and pride - or we don't.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

As always @maitlis.bsky.social neatly sums it up

I'm told the noise at the end was three people clapping. They were all in Vance's entourage. The US is now both pariah and pitiful on the international stage.

Look this sucks but news outlets need to start realizing there's limited journalistic value in sitting in a room and letting a person behind a podium lie to you. You're not holding anyone to account when you do that.

Centers for Disease Control cuts expected to devastate Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health in U.S EIS officers investigate disease outbreaks and health threats in the U.S. and abroad www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Maybe sort out America's fascist takeover, mass gun violence, abortion bans, oligarch & conspiracy theorist control of govt, climate change denialism, privatised healthcare, politicised judiciary, religious fundamentalism & tax favouring rich over poor before lecturing Europe on "values", JD Vance.

I’ve just woken from a nightmare where the BBC Today Programme asked whether J.D. Vance had a point. When US officials are being asked to sign loyalty oaths and agree that Trump won in 2020

The Eagles aren’t going to the White House again? The right team won the superbowl.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.
