Spartz took a furious phone call from President Trump, whose screaming could be heard by the congresswoman’s colleagues across the Republican cloakroom.

"We have to step up even more to make our voices heard, but also to support each site even more — as volunteers, as community members, as board members — to help make sure that things continue.” Colorado historic sites fear they could become anti-diversity targets.

The Trump administration is requesting data from all federal agencies about government resources devoted to union matters, potentially setting the stage for a showdown between the White House and federal unions.

🇨🇿 🚨 Czech President Petr Pavel calls for a broad coalition to secure a just peace in Ukraine. ⚠️ He warns that so-called “peace” on the aggressor’s terms is capitulation – a green light for future aggressors. 🔥 The free world must stand up to evil! #StandWithUkraine

It's not just journalistic malpractice, it's deference to power by @davidmuirr.bsky.social.

Italians side with Ukraine: strong disapproval for Trump after clash with Zelensky

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance. It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media. It is about the very soul of America. They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny. The world is watching.

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.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

Lindsey Graham immediately following up an Oval Office meeting at which Trump and Vance disgraced themselves and the United States with a call for Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine's presidency only makes me feel more strongly that this whole event today was pre-planned and in service of Kremlin interests.

Today’s shameful spectacle of Trump’s meeting with President Zelenskyy will prove to be a huge miscalculation on Trump’s part. I’ve spoken to over two dozen people so far—Republicans, Democrats and independents. Without exception, they’re angry and embarrassed by what they saw on TV. Truly shocking.

Trump and Vance scream at Zelenskyy, leaving no question as to where their loyalties lie. Zelenskyy abruptly left the White House after the public beratement. Putin, and Authoritarian leaders everywhere, must be pleased with their proteges. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dear Planet, Trump, Vance, Musk, and the entire administration, appear to be Russian assets intent on destroying democracies. They should not be taken seriously as legitimate leaders by Americans or the world. Please ready yourselves. I'm so sorry. They betrayed all of us. -An Outraged American

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

If you can get to a protest and have called your reps, spend some time having fun with this 👇

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Iowa has the second highest incidence rate of cancer in the country, and it is already feeling Trump's cuts to the workforce and research institutions trying to solve the rural cancer problem.

Trump's CFPB just dropped its lawsuits against: -Capital One, for cheating depositors out of $2B+ in interest -Rocket Homes, for providing kickbacks to agents and brokers -Vanderbilt Mortgage, for trapping customers in risky loans  It's open season for corporate crooks.

@bennet.senate.gov Thank you for your strong statement supporting Ukraine.

Coloradans: my new webpage is LIVE with helpful resources for federal workers. As members of our federal civil service continue to confront chaos and confusion sown by President Trump, I am committed to using every tool at my disposal to protect them.

One wonders how the Cold War would’ve turned out if Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush were more concerned about people kissing their ring than our strategic position. My full statement on President Trump’s meeting with President Zelensky⬇️

As for me and my family, we support Ukraine and the Ukrainian president. Trump and Putin can go to hell!

The State Department this week terminated a U.S. AID initiative that has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help restore Ukraine's energy grid from attacks by the Russian military, sources say.

“I gave blood, sweat, and tears to this country for 20 years to continue service to the federal government. I kind of feel like I was just thrown out like a piece of trash.”
