3 days ago, he publicly bullied Zelensky. Earlier today, he stopped all U.S. cyber operations against Russia. And just now, he paused all military aid to Ukraine. Quit beating around the bush. Trump stands AGAINST the free world. He’s on Putin’s side. He’s doing Putin’s work. Shameful. Traitorous.

We made a specific 40 minute detour to go to this library last year, it was great. The staff were lovely, the building interesting, &we got to "cross the line" w/out showing our passports. I donated all my CAD to them, wanted to go to their opera house for a show, but nothing was on. Noem is a dick.

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!
