📌"Because Zelenskyy has tasted gun powder and breathed the odious smell of death on the battlefield, he wasn't about to be pushed around by some morbidly obese, 78-yr-old yacht club bully and his toady, who think swinging a sand wedge to free a golf ball from some bunker is dangerous business." 1/3

Hey Democratic Party, You ain’t raising money until you start raising hell. Sincerely, A Huge Portion of Your Supporters

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

So, as usual, he harms us with his rash decisions. They’ll just work around the US, and we will be blind. www.forbes.com/sites/davida...

PM Starmer is doing his best to stroke the MAGA criminal’s vanity, but this is all just performance art. Europe is on its own. It was alone before last week. 100 years of strategic partnerships gone in a flash. This will not go well for the US.

I got to @bsky.app and Threads around the same time. The experience on Threads is pleasant (love videos) if dullish, but audience growth on that Meta platform is def weak sauce. Meanwhile, the growth and engagement on Bluesky is fab and experience is engaging and civil (tho a little too scolding).

Ultimately, it is Trump’s weakness- with Putin, with North Korean leader Kim, with Musk & the entire billionaire class- that will topple America

Lindsey Graham is the definition of a weak, sniveling, gutless opportunist — an unprincipled political weather vane who grovels before power with embarrassing desperation. A hollow man with no convictions, no integrity, and no spine, shifting his loyalties whenever it serves his personal interests.

Never imagined this Family members leaving America to raise their children in safety and sanity with our European allies

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Last Night in TIMES SQUARE THANK YOU PROTESTERS This is how it's done WE stand with UKRAINE 🇺🇦

The future will now be written by the Europeans. The EU will lead the free world. I think they’re up to it. Can’t wait to see what they do as they pursue their independence.

We need to adjust to being a smaller, less prosperous, and far less influential country. The soft power that goes with military might just died. We aren’t trusted. We’re not the good guys. We’d better hope we don’t have another 9/11 when 136 countries came to our aid and asked nothing in return.

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 "Did you hear people cheering you on the street? You can see the support. And we will support as long as it takes. We want long-term peace," — Starmer to Zelensky

HAYES: “The United States siding with Putin against democratic allies will have massive consequences for global politics for decades to come.”

Aww, it’s so sad that Vance and his wife got such a negative reaction when they arrived for their holiday in Sugarbush, Vermont.😭😁 There were protesters at the resort also, and the Vance family had to move to an undisclosed location. I hope they felt all warm and fuzzy inside.😆🔥👍

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become. I was wrong.

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

Have courage Stand up to bullies Be like President Zelenskyy

Elon Musk isn’t a genius—he’s a government-funded grifter under investigation. Every contract, every dollar, every scandal—it all connects. Keep this: It’s a roadmap for every move Musk and DOGE make.

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

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

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Donald Trump, “That’s what I do. I make deals. My whole life is deals.” He’s so good at “deals” that every business he has ever launched…filed for bankruptcy.

Yet again, John Bolton and Bernie Sanders have the identical, and completely correct, read of the political shame staged in the Oval Office. The fact the world witnessed it live will make it one of the most defining moments in political history.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

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

JD Vance is a disgrace to the United States Marine Corps. He is the one exception to, “Once a Marine, always a Marine.”
