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

Russia's response to Trump's tantrum says it all really:

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Googling “Constitutional Crisis“

This amounts to a rolling and eventually complete blockade of Congressionally appropriated, peer reviewed, and highly meritorious research to improve the health of all Americans. And to dismantle the biomedical research enterprise that’s led the world for decades and created wealth.

Trials abandoned due to the stop-work order on USAID-funded research:

Entire USAID agency worldwide was deleted by a consulting government employee with no authority to do so. It’s a constitutional crisis that puts US national security at risk and normies won’t get this until legacy media says this clearly and loudly.

After an unprecedented pause of three weeks, the CDC has resumed publishing its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). However, three studies about bird flu that were supposed to appear in this edition, remain on hold even as the outbreak spreads.

Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

In the dead of night, an executive order slashing Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, funding for research, and other federally funded programs, was announced. Elected officials and institutions who have not released statements to fight back: YOUR SILENCE IS DEAFENING.

Trump just paused all federal spending to our communities. Why? He needs to free up money to give corrupt billionaires and corporations tax cuts. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are cheering him on. The golden age for the richest and the dark ages for working people.

Executive orders are not laws. They're directives and guidelines at best, the fact that nationwide so many agencies and organizations are choosing to comply is goddamn terrifying.
