The law doesn’t give a president this power. Trump is behaving as if he were a dictator. Let’s show him he’s not.

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

Republicans have gone from the party that forthrightly called the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire" to appeasing the former Soviet intelligence officer Putin, a mass-murderer, autocrat, and warmonger. Pure moral depravity.

Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into a Russian propaganda machine. It’s truly appalling.

The person "gambling with World War III," precisely, is Donald Trump. Appeasing murderous aggressors such as Putin only invites more aggression in the future. Trump's shameful display today betrays the United States to serve the interests of a brutal dictator.

Selecting another right-wing Fox personality and internet troll — Dan Bongino — as Deputy FBI Director means two things: Trump installs another loyalist who won’t say no to any immoral or unethical act. And our law enforcement agencies — and the public safety — are further degraded.

Trump has pardoned domestic terrorists who sided with him; planned concentration camps for migrants, including children; purged the military and intelligence agencies of anyone who might stand up to him; and sided with the most dangerous dictator in the world. Let's not blind ourselves.

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵
