On a serious note though, someone should've told hegseth and vance that when they're in Europe they're talking to intelligent people not MAGA politicians, MAGA base, or fox news viewers.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

So, there is no money for cancer research, healthcare, or meals for kids and underpaid people... but piss away money on 'I love myself' ads and sports events and rally? This is ok to MAGAts? Orange clown is really out of his gourd! Congress, We've found some fraud and waste to cut!

If you know any military leaders — from junior NCOs to 4-star generals — probably a good time to reinforce the idea with them that their oath is to the Constitution, not the President, and certainly not the Secretary of Defense.

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

Every sane person suspected this was his plan. White men only need apply. Preferably Evangelical, white Nationalist. Surprised he's not bringing Flint back. Nazi, racist, masaginist.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Amazing, Putin's Puppy can't say Russia started the war. Can't support democracy. Can't grasp how wrongheaded he is in criticism of Zelenskyy. Looks like we have an actual Manchurian Candidate occupying the Whitehouse. l.smartnews.com/p-j3cUcTn/Rq...

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I find this interesting (especially on FOX). The line about 'States having to follow Federal law in the end' is hilarious given FL, TX, and other red states ignoring Federal laws out of spite under Biden's Admin. l.smartnews.com/p-j2Vay5X/G3...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."
