If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

What you saw today was the Russian mob acting out of the Oval Office.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

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

Donald Trump failed at a peace deal. Just like everything else. MAGA was conned again.

Just posted by President Zelenskyy

Yup.

Why is he so incredibly nice to Putin and then so incredibly mean to Zelensky? what’s that about

Clown.

Lemme get this straight... JD Vance has a meltdown in the Oval Office because Zelenskyy points out that he's never visited Ukraine once. Donald Trump cancels the press conference. President Zelenskyy doesn't sign the minerals deal. And MAGA thinks this was a win? Clown. Show.

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.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 👏

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.

European leaders are stepping forward to tonight to show their support for President Zelensky 👏

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

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

Who with me?

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

🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

I want everyone to know that screaming match in the Oval Was all for Russia TV that was there

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

hat tip to @theliamnissan.bsky.social

We should not sell out our allies just because Donald Trump wants to build Trump Tower in Moscow.

BREAKING: Donald Trump abandoned Ukraine on the national stage, the White House considers ending military assistance to Ukraine, Russia and China work to recruit fired federal employees, and the EU blasts Trump. aaronparnas.substack.com/p/the-united...

Happy Economic Blackout Day!

#EconomicBlackout

Donald Trump firing 800 employees within NOAA and the National Weather Service (NWS) is peak stupidity. This administration is deliberately making people less safe.

I only rooted for the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl because they were the underdog. Now that they're declining the WH trip that comes with winning, I might root for them more...

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

“Freedom of speech for me and not for thee,” sounds like something a king would say. As many of us have noted this week, we don’t do kings in America. Some thoughts on the AP’s lawsuit: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

Many of Trump’s early actions are unpopular, Post-Ipsos poll finds: “57 percent say he has exceeded his authority since taking office…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
