🇺🇦 Fact check: Zelensky has thanked the U.S. 33 times for its support, including POTUS, Congress, defense companies, and the American people. Despite claims in the heated Oval Office meeting, Zelensky’s gratitude has been consistent throughout the war. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Maybe Elon is lying. Maybe he just has no idea what he’s doing since he has no experience working in government. Either way, if he says something and you believe him, you’re the sucker. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Keep this in mind when you see anyone in the GOP raise “concerns” about Trump: If elected Republican Senators had decided that January 6 was sufficiently reprehensible to support the House impeachment none of this would have happened.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Y’all ask what you can do? Make elected Republican’s lives miserable whenever they leave their house! Stay in their faces! They’re scared Trump will primary them? Make them fear their constituents more! This is how it’s done!

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Happy 100th birthday to President Carter, who started the Department of Energy, and started the Solar Energy Research Institute (which later became NREL). Today we are reaping the rewards of cheap solar, wind, and batteries because of the investments President Carter made.

We need to spend way more on adaptation to climate change. None of us can predict the future, but it’s 100% certain that the climate we have today is the best any of us will ever experience. As we continue to emit CO₂, the world will become more dangerous and chaotic. We have to prepare for that.

In a letter to all 100 U.S. Senators, William Webster, the only person ever to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither Patel nor Gabbard meets the demands of top intelligence jobs. At 100 and still at the top of his game, Webster deserves to be heeded. www.politico.com/live-updates...
