🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Adam Kinzinger is right: We need to stand up against this ambush! We need to show up for Ukraine! Trump and Vance do not speak for us. We need to show with massive protests in the streets that there is another US, the one that stands with the brave people of Ukraine, with liberty and justice!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Zelensky was a new President when his neighbor, RUSSIA, invaded Ukraine. He could have fled, surrendered or agreed to be a puppet. He did NONE of those things. Instead he chose to fight for his country, his people, his culture…in short, he chose to LEAD.
What was Trump’s proposal for a path to peace?
o give up 50% of rare earth assets
o no US support
o agree to a cease fire
o hold an election
o negotiate a peace plan
o no NATO
o give up Russia occupied land
o trust Putin who cheats & lies
All Trump offered was Trust ME.
SAD.
Beyond. What amazes me most is how constantly surprised I am by how low they can go. Whenever I think they’re at the bottom, they manage to sink even further.
Its giving me PTSD flashbacks from when I was married to a sadistic narcissist... and thinking just that...that this was the ultimate bottom behavior and then...its not.
Adam, it’s time every real American get their ass to DC. We need to occupy OUR streets and OUR federal buildings until this phony Russian administration is removed.
Thank you Adam. I think many of us feel so helpless and we need real leadership and I am thankful that you are here for us. Are there thoughts of getting a new party started with Liz Cheney and others? The D Party and (what was once) the R party are not meeting the moment.
In lieu of attending the Stateofthe Union, I think Dems should have an off-site "True State of the Union" address, delivered by H.Jeffries. It should be high level and touch on points normally addressed in the SoftheU address, while peaceful groups hold a candlelight vigil outside the Capitol.
President Zelensky,
My heart is aching for the rudeness you received from Donald Trump & his gang! He does not deserve to be addressed as President!
Thank you, too, to the world leaders who contacted you to offer their support. Please know there are MANY of us who support you as well.
That was embarrassing and despicable! So obvious it is all about pleasing Putin! American diplomacy at its worst! Will we have any allies left when this is all over?
The (pardon my French) fucking arrogance of those two clowns. It sickens me…it’s embarrassing, it’s revolting, it’s shameful and it’s downright un-American. What the holy hell is going on in this country. smh
EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.
Thank you for being a voice of reason and sanity. I’d love to see you back in the political sphere again some day. Had hoped to see you on a split ticket with Kamala…
Appreciate the leadership when we have no leaders to speak of.
WTF! Were are the so called patriotic GOP? My father was all over Europe in WW 2 with the 104th infantry to fight fascism and now here we are. Never thought I would say glad he is no longer around to see this dumpster fire.
I will say when hillbilly (I won't speak his name) starts all his lawyer speak and his word salads, talks over people, and won't shut the fuck up, I see why people believe him. He's great at the WhatAboutism and twisting the truth. I'd NEVER try to have a conversation with a narcissist.
They're all compromised, period! And that dude that founded or wrote P2025, he's delusional. He's a religious freak. Why do we have to live in his religious massacre fantasy? I will NEVER EVER understand how anyone falls for this shit.
I just saw Lyndsey Graham gush like a fan next to Zelensky at the Munich conference last week and then witnessed him attempt to put in some kicks after the White House debacle by demanding Zelensky resign resign. He, Susan Collin’s and all the other spineless (R)s are WORSE than MAGA faithful.
Trump is turning the United States of America
into Putin’s Russia.

Former French President François Hollande said in a recent interview that
President Donald Trump and his administration are "no longer" allies.
The former French leader also accused Trump of "making pacts with our adversaries."
I'm just sick over the horrible way that President Zelenskyy was treated today by trump and vance. Your video was very informative, especially when you said that trump and vance wouldn't ask any other leader to do what they demanded of Zelenskyy. This is just awful.
America needs you @lizcheney.bsky.social, @barackobama1961.bsky.social and Joe Biden to start backdoor diplomacy in Ukraines interest. Travel to Europe and Asia to show the world that most Americans don't support the current actions of this administration.
We’re on the same page. As the Carolina Panthers motto is “keep pounding,” we gotta do the same. Keeping fighting to course correct this country and earn the respect back from the world, especially our allies
Thank you Adam. Not every generation is called upon to do something truly meaningful for this country. This generation is. It's a fight for the soul of America and it's a fight we cannot lose.
You’re right here that Vance played Trump with the whole “you haven’t said thank you” bit. He poked the bear and the bear smelled blood in the water, if you’ll pardon the mixed metaphor. This whole crew of alpha wannabes are so blatant in their jockeying for position to earn daddy’s favor. Gross.
A question for those who know about American political history - is it normal for a VP to be critical of a foreign leader in the way that Vance has done to Starmer and Zelenskyy this week?
Sharing for my FB followers. Mr. Kinzinger is a Republican, cut from the same cloth as that of John McCain, whom I always respected, whether or not I agreed with him.
Never forget that Trump called Sen. McCain "a loser".
Ukraine CAN win this war and that’s what Elon Trump are afraid of. Their weakness is visible. They miscalculated the strength of the American ppl. It’s time we demand impeachment AGAIN! We can’t wait until Putin decides he wants the entire world!
Thank you for encouragement in this fight. Now that Trump and Vance confirmed to the world that they are Traitors working for Putin, how do we crush them?
I like the comment about a People’s Party and I add, Finland is superior in free education for all. We aren’t the best in everything. We can learn a lot from other countries. But not while we have the administration we have now. Still mad we didn’t demand hand recounts in all 7 swing states.
"..governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new."
My father was a WW2 vet. He'd be appalled at what transpired today as was I. After what my father our WW2 and Allies militaries and all who fought and died in Europe and the Pacific did to to defeat dictator/fascist/nazi rule today in my opinion was a complete betrayal of everything they did.
Kizinger, you need to sit down with Cenk from @theyoungturks.bsky.social, @briantylercohen.bsky.social, and @davidpakman.bsky.social to unpack this travesty
Americans in general need to hear about this and understand what this means for the future of USA
I did not cry when the Felon was elected in Nov. and 2016, but today I wept watching the deplorable, appalling manner in which those two ingrates treated President Zelinskyy. Clearly their evil plan was to make Zelinskyy look bad. The Felon would NEVER have spoken to Putin in that manner.
Thank you much for posting this Mr. Kinzinger💙 Bless you for standing up to djt and for what is right. You are inspiring and give us all some hope.👍💙🇺🇸
Ya know…when there are still people like VZ in the world with the courage to say "I don't need a ride..." that number sure as heck better include the American people. 🦅🇺🇲
Like everything he does it has backfired. The whole event made him and Vance look like 2 bully babies workin to make Putin smile. A draft dodger DJT, addressing a war president who fights with his men. Telling him he doesnt hold the cards!!
Vance quipping “ did you even say thanks”
6 grade bullies
You don't talk to a Head of State like Trump and Vance did.
How un-diplomatic? How unprofessional?
No one should be surprised, neither Trump nor Vance has any couth or professional decorum. They've been handed everything on a silver platter their entire lives.
Trump has put all soldiers, including foreign fighters in greater danger, including our son, who has been fighting there for three years. SLAVA UKRAINI!
Thank you for your words of wisdom and hope. I am
60 years old and like you, I have never been so ashamed of America as I am right now. The current administration an absolute disgrace and embarrassment.
In less than 6 (!) weeks #Trump has managed to enrage government workers, low- and middle-class families, military generals, neighboring countries and Western allies. He has destroyed America’s reputation, leadership and soon its financial standing.
I think it's time for Europe to take control and defeat putin, giving everything they can to Ukraine. As an American , I hate to say this but we need to have our asses handed over to them on a plate. Thank you Trumper Maga clowns for putting this jackal over our
country!
The lowest moment is when Traitor Marine told Zelensky that Ukraine was really bad off because he was "going out and chasing down conscripts for the war." He said this twice. I thought of Vietnam. Then I thought of Russia, 800,000 dead soldiers. Believe me, they were not volunteers.
I am proud of Ukraine President Zelenskyy; He is not a Punk or Weak Leader & He does not scare like GOP, Trump, Macron & Stamer that scare to talk bad about Liar Dictator Trump & they love kissing his Ass & they are like Trump & do not stand for their People & against Terrorist Dictator like Trump!
What I really want to know who is going to put a stop to this madness before it’s too late? I know there has 2 b some generals, and former leaders who knew very well what a threat to our democracy he is and had a contingency plan.
Thanks you Adam. I'm taking my anger and putting it to use writing even more postcards to help the key Democratic candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court, Susan Crawford, on the vital April 1 election there. We need to build up state by state to save this country -- and the world.

full disclosure: I said it earlier and it was confirmed again. WE-ARE-THE-BAD-GUYS-NOW, own it and accept it. Every country should turn its back on us, we are a nation of cowards and traitors, we will betray anyone for a buck.
As an 81 year old lady I am so appalled at the Trump-Vance attack on a hero like
Zelensky whose country has been so abused by a murderous dictator. Trump acting like a petulant child with the bully Vance attacking him. Yes, this was a set up clearly.
I want to believe in the promise of freedom. I want to believe that darkness isn't coming. After today and what Trump did to Zelensky, it's here. We must as American citizens rise up at every chance and shine our lights. In whatever chance we can. Darkness is here. Shine the light on these roaches!!
Lithuania in 1991 was my first US embarrassment. We told them, we would be there for them & watched as they were surrounded by USSR. Here we go 2025, we watched a hero be bombarded by wanna be watchstikas in our White house
Sad day for America and the world. Does this mean we are the bad guys now?
Zelensky could not even get a word in. DT and Vance were so disrespectful. Zelensky has more class and dignity in his shoelace than those two prepubescent twits have in their whole wardrobe.
Thank You, Adam!! Your Voice is critical.
MyvDad was a very young US Army 1st. Lt. In WW2 & Korea.
He led his unit to liberate Nazi Concentration Camps in Austria & Croatia. He was 25 yrs old.
My mom worked for an Ambassador in the State Dept.
My parents, aunts & uncles served in all branches... 2/
2/They WERE The Greatest Generation. My Dad stayed at the last Croatian Camp & found translators to help families looking for their loved ones. He said the Croatian survivors were in especially bad shape...tortured terribly. If my Dad was still with us, he'd be LIVID w the way Trump caves to... 3/
3/ Putin. My parents would've been LIVID after Trump's Insurrection.
They were Eisenhower Republicans who voted for JFK & Bill Clinton. My mom's parents were 🇳🇴🇸🇪immigrants. Dad's family 🇳🇴🇬🇧 also immigrants. They'd be 102 & 103 today. We've lost our Greatest Generation & have few citizens who remember.
Really: what will it take to get rid of them, and what can we out here in the "real" world do to facilitate it? Most of us have jobs and responsibilities that we can't walk away from and most of us have limited funds, but we want to do SOMETHING and know that it has an impact.
Adam, I've followed you since you led the fight against the Trump wave. Today my partner and I watched the video of this dog and pony show today, and I kept having to pause it because of the nausea. I'm a veteran, served in Desert Storm, and I know we aren't a perfect country, but oh my God..
This just crushed me. Worse yet is the wide gulf of perceptions of the people in Trump's cult of personality and the rest of the world as to what happened.
We know what happened. Zelenskyy was th only adult in the room.
What worries me more is where these ideologues will lead us.
The most effective way we can respond to this travesty is to donate to Ukraine--now more than ever! If trump won't send my tax dollars to support UA, then I will send my own dollars. Ukraine needs to know that we won't sell them out, even as trump stabs them in the back. https://u24.gov.ua/
Update: We hit our goal of $1,000 with the match and then far surpassed it. Another donor matched out original goal of $1,000 donation, and others have continued to donate. We're closing in on $2,500 raised now! ♥️

I was beyond horrified by today's events. My father was a highly ranked USAF officer stationed at NATO for 7 years. I wish he were alive today to explain some of the intricacies of this situation. I'm glad he's not alive today to witness the country he served for 30 years sell out to Putin.
Trump has been setting up Zelensky for a long time. Something up with Trump & Putin. Blackmail? When Trump identified with Putin. How they both were done wrong. WTF.
Its not blackmail. Trump is a Russian asset for a very long time. The KGB found him when he was broke in the 90’s and only Deutch bank would loan him money.
Excellent thoughts! The only hope for the free world are most European countries, Canada, Australia and 50% of the Americans. You have to do something, dear Americans, otherwize you will become an oppressed society like Russia sooner than you think. Act quickly!
Thank you, Adam, for speaking out and making your voice heard. This administration is disgraceful and they have no business in the White House selling out our allies.
Thank you Adam. My blood pressure is boiling. The pathetic losers Trump and Vance and all rest of the spineless and/or psychotic sycophants will never, ever understand what it means to have an ounce of courage. Those who escaped the iron curtain and got a taste of freedom will NEVER go back.
Watch “Active Measures” documentary. He’s been laundering Russian money for over 30 years. He’s a Russian asset.
The 5million gold card he’s selling now is for the Russians and the Saudis
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO RELEASE THE KRAKEN ON 45 .This was a disgrace today . This was a massive embarrassment.
He needs to be removed from office immediately
Adam Kinzinger,
Many of us here on Bluesky (Im sure)would like to contribute directly to Zelensky but we need someone with a megaphone to lead the charge. Please coordinate a donation drive that could humiliate Trump.
I needed that. Since yesterday was just devastating I awoke this morning needing to find a positive. Then I saw another qualified military officer fired due to dei. Angered at first. Then I realized all the competence, incredibly diverse, expertise will be on our side. The takeover will be easy.
Thank you for posting. I am in tears too. Zelinsky was a pro in the ambush. This is hearrtbreaking. Just when the U.S. is breaking out of some of the shame of it's past; Trump and his cronies are destroying us within. God bless you and your family, too. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Adam. I really needed a sane voice after watching that nonsense in the White House today. The admin all looked like such titty baby bullies. So embarrassingly disrespectful to Zelensky but they always cow tow to Putin.
America, Please listen to Adam Kinzinger‘s calm and honest account of what happened in the White House yesterday as bullies Trump and Vance tried to intimidate President Zelenskyy. If you believe in saving our democracy here and elsewhere in the world, it’s a good listen.

You do such an amazing job of calling out all the things in away everyone can understand.
Can you come hold townhall in District 4 Colorado si ce Bobert isn't doing a damn thing?
The gaslighting has been effective. And his “flooding the zone” prior. Give us a couple of days. If this doesn’t result in feet on streets, we are cooked and the show’s over.
This 51 year old USAF retiree and air combat veteran has never been more compelled to fight for what I hold dear than right now. Count me in for Country First, Adam and keep up the outstanding leadership!
I once wondered how much Trump & JD Goebbels would've 💵 Auschwitz prisoners to "venture out" after "liberation." After today's 💩how, I let my imagination run wild, 🤔how much they'd charge 'em (extra) for a meal & basic innoculation. That's the "winning" MAGA 💞's & Preaches: Gratuitous Cruelty.
I felt your pain in this but we are going to be ok, you’ll see, I promise. We are men & women warriors for our country. That will never change. May God sustain you.
🇺🇸💙🇺🇦
I saw a man, a broken-hearted representative of massive numbers of his slaughtered countrymen.
I saw a chance for a leader to show him compassion, a helping hand as Christ taught.
Instead, the fractured man met an aggressive, coldhearted businessman.
A compassionate trade could have been made.

I think it mostly went over Trump's head, judging from the blank look on his face, but it showed that Zelensky knew exactly what was going on.
He knew this was about nations, not individuals.
