I am so saddened by my governments betrayal of Ukraine right now. It will be recorded by historians as one of our most shameful moments. At the same time, I have no doubt that Ukraine will survive and prosper as a strong, independent, democratic country. #SlavaUkraïni !

Lech Wałęsa, along with other former political prisoners in Poland, made a statement: "Gratitude is due to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers who shed blood in defense of the values of the Free World. They are the ones who have been dying on the front lines." apnews.com/article/pola...

Our new neighbors invited our family over to look through their awesome telescope. 🔭 It was awesome in the truest meaning of the word. Pics of the Orion Nebula and I think you can tell what the other one is. 😊🌛

Trump, Vance, Musk, and their movement seethe with hostility toward Ukraine and its struggle to stay free. They never breathe a word against Putin and his tyranny. Obviously, they are in charge here -- but I hope Ukrainians know that many of us Americans are with them.

Many of you know we've been in Senator Mitt Romney's corner since 2005. I've never been prouder of that decision than now.

A more populist Right is within the normal ebb and flow of politics. We can argue about tariffs or foreign policy, but Caesarism at home and active malice for the cause of liberty abroad are anathema to our country. This new Right must be defeated before it destroys us.

So the president of the country that was invaded is going to have no say in the peace. I hope everyone sees these people are 100% on Putin's side.

I remember the wonderful days when such displays of unity were led by the United States, not aimed at it.

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.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

This somehow hurts more than almost anything else he’s said so far. America at her best is a place where those who have no home can make a home. Where those who were in bondage can be set free. Where every person can have a chance. Not this. He’s destroying the country I’ve loved so much.

I gave my eight year old my phone to take pictures of the dog, and he managed to take this one. Pretty darn good! ❤️🐶 #Ginny #dogsofBluesky

So much for a “meritocracy.” Last night at the Pentagon, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismantled a core principle of American democracy: the apolitical military. Let me explain what’s going on and why it is deeply dangerous for our country: 🧵

"there is, somewhere in Kenya right now, a mother of three asking, 'If I die, who will take care of my children?' Donald Trump and Elon Musk don’t care. It turns out that millions and millions of people who claim to be followers of Jesus don’t, either." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Seems like this is a significant admission from Musk, right?

Couple thoughts on AI, DOGE, and the future of government. 1. Musk will probably succeed in finding waste, fraud, and abuse (it's not that hard), and finding some ways to improve govt efficiency & eliminate redundancy. But....

I think love is the truest miracle. Love in a climate of hate. The one clear thing in chaos. The clarity of knowing in all the not knowing that this is obedience. The highest and hardest calling. It’s not sappy, lazy or ill-informed. Love is fearsome. The single most threatening defense that exists.

“The biggest thing that keeps me up at night is that I see USAID’s destruction as a test case — a practice run — in how far the administration can bend or break the law to get what they want,” the official said. “We are the canary in the coal mine.”

I have an idea for President Trump. Since we're going to take over Gaza, I recommend that he establish a federal agency that specializes in reconstruction and development. If only we had thought of such a thing earlier.

If you want to know how our government is treating Americans right now, this is the situation with USAID workers who have been told they need to come home and are then left stranded by our government: "From what I’m hearing now, I may be locked out of government systems overnight. 1/3

My brother would like a word, Mr. Kirk. He’s no left-winger, yet his career and the lives of his family have been completely upended by lies about USAID.

This is insane, as are many things Musk does. I pray that none of the USAID workers or their families come to any harm from this breach.

If not for the fig leaf of only applying it prospectively (why? even on its own terms it's not like the Constitution changes in thirty days), then under this decree the vast majority of Americans can't prove they are citizens. Think you can? Try it. 1/
