So if Zelenskyy had just emblazoned “tech support” on his black shirt and donned a MAGA hat, would that have been up to standard under White House dress code? (nyt photo)

If Reuters and the Associated Press were not allowed in the press conference in the Oval Office yesterday, but Russian state media was, that tells you everything you need to know.

If you live in Missouri, you might soon be able to get 1,000 pieces of silver ($1,000) for snitching on your undocumented neighbor. Welcome to the Nazi Germany of the Midwest. www.cnn.com/2025/03/01/u...

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Zelenskyy makes emergency call to Macron after Trump blows up White House meeting, cancels all DC events. Within hours, he’s on the phone with France and NATO’s chief. Trump wanted to strong-arm him—instead, he’s forcing Ukraine to secure its future without U.S. backing.

The way Trump and Vance ambushed Zelenskyy, a man fighting for the lives of his people, was nothing short of DISGUSTING. A shameful display of bullying and an attempt to humiliate a country smaller and weaker than us. A horrifying realization that Trump is aligning the U.S. with Putin.

That’s how it’s done. Dozens of delegates walk out of Russia's speech to UN rights council - Reuters

I hope every Republican within hearing range if this speech was ashamed www.facebook.com/share/r/1bw2...

WP analysis of the contract data found that many of the canceled contracts were already complete, meaning canceling them didn’t yield any money back because they had been fully paid out — and indeed, 417 of the deals on DOGE’s list indicate that they saved $0. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump is creating a tidal wave of anger that will wash over Republicans like a tsunami in the midterms. His arbitrary mass firings have affected citizens across every city, town and profession. Soon his chickens will come home to roost.

I think tjis article is too generous to Trump. The think tanks and their puppet masters are really the ones pulling the levers behind the curtain. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Always important to read the European viewpoint. Vance insulted them in ways that weren’t reported here. JD Vance’s Munich speech laid bare the collapse of the transatlantic alliance

Are we supposed to all go out and buy rakes? US Forest Service and National Park Service to fire thousands of workers

We’ve lost all credibility with our Allies in just three short weeks. Starmer to join Macron-led European crisis summit on Trump’s Ukraine plan

And this is where we are now. How embarrassing. www.instagram.com/p/DF0BsdlxwT...

On #Colombia You know who doesn't pay tariffs on imports into the US? Drug traffickers. You know what farmers who can no longer make a living growing coffee might grow instead? Coca. You know who is the largest user of illegal drugs in the world? The US population. (Wiki)

Here we are again. Issuing “policy” via social media. Official press releases referring to his posts. Incompetent staff that can’t even spell the country in question correctly. It’s Colombia.

In the context of ending birthright citizenship, the Trump administration also questions the citizenship of (you want to sit down for this one) Native Americans. If they're forced to give up their tribal affiliation to remain US citizens, they let go of their land. Guess the reason.

Excellent post

Meteorologist Fired After Criticizing Elon Musk Sam Kuffel, a Milwaukee meteorologist, was fired from CBS 58 after private Instagram posts accusing Musk of Nazi-like gestures went viral. Firing someone over private critiques raises concerns about free speech and accountability for public figures.

ICE is detaining people based on their skin color and detaining Native peoples. In some instances, they would not recognize legitimate Navajo Nation ID’s. Navajo Nation leaders raise alarm over reports of Indigenous people being questioned and detained during immigration sweeps

Having Musk influencing the President is like having a Nazi in the White House. He’s telling a far-right German party to get over their past. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

U.S. senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), product of a private high school, a selective admission state college and private university law school, apparently skipped spelling class. I’m sure he’ll be all in when it comes to the Trump agenda item eliminating the Dept. of Education. Who needs it?

On Jan 21, the US Coast Guard published a press release and they actually called the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. This is how quickly and easily people and organisations comply.
