Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Many of us from all political backgrounds in the US continue to stand with Ukraine. Including millions of American veterans. Vance and Co continue to represent a radical, ignorant and dangerous minority. They not like us.🇺🇸🇺🇦 www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/p...

Hold off on USAID obituaries and suggesting staff have gone. Most actions so far are under legal challenge, only Congress can get rid of USAID (and its funding), the staff are on administrative leave. What has happened is terrible, but it is time to push back, not give in.

Trump is doing by executive order what he is too weak to do by legislation. He does not have the votes in Congress. He wouldn't be able to get ANY of this passed if he tried. He is the WEAKEST incoming president in 50 years.
