The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world. “People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

NEW: The first front pages of Saturday’s newspapers in the UK. “Ukraine Hero Ambushed” “Trump stuns world with vile rant at Zelensky” “A spectacle to horrify the world” Trump is obliterating the global reputation of the US.

we may be one of the few pubs that got this headline right Trump And Vance Ambush Zelensky In Prelude To Betrayal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

I mean, of course they are

Zelenskyy is a warrior for democracy. Putin is a war criminal. Full stop.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Here are 45 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that has radically upended federal agencies. nyti.ms/4br8OIv

I stand with Ukraine. Every decent person should. It’s not just a strategic interest. It’s a moral imperative. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦

Current and former federal workers: We’re here in D.C. sending out our signal 🚨 Contact us confidentially on Signal at 917-512-0201 or go to propublica.org/tips.

Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He humiliated the United States of America. And he made the world a much more dangerous place. Mob boss foreign policy will not work. The Trump-Putin axis fully came out of the closet today.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

JD Vance is such an asshole. He is embarrassing our nation.

BREAKING: The DNC sues Trump over his attempt to control the Federal Election Commission, the agency that enforces campaign finance laws, arguing it could enable him to influence agency decisions in favor of the Republican Party.

I can't think of anything like that obscene spectacle in the history of modern diplomacy, not just a snide remark or even mutual hostility, but openly belittling and insulting a visiting head of state in public like that? Astonishingly beyond the pale to treat any country's representative like that.

The most shocking display by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office against Zelensky. It had the look of an ambush.

they think russia is big and powerful because it occupies a lot of space on a map

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Took 5 min today and whipped up simple designs in Canva. Sized to fix 2 x 4" and 1 x 1 5/8" mailing labels. Print them by the sheet and stick them up: lampposts, parking meters, sidewalks. (Just don't be a jerk.) Remind people this isn't normal & they're not alone, and encourage them to act.

The most heartbreaking and avoidable push notification. A child has died from measles - which the antivax movement wants you to believe is a routine childhood disease. Their grifting profiteers have sold new parents fear and lies, and their deceitful, repugnant leader sits at the head of HHS.

As the measles outbreak in Texas keeps spreading, parents who previously chose not to vaccinate their children are now lining up to get their kids the shots needed to protect them from the serious illness.

Note here that Musk is now literally assigning himself new contracts based on the use of his DOGE wrecking crew and the associated micro-bros. this isn't a "conflict of interest". it's just handing yourself federal money www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

Really disappointed (and surprised) that elite legacy media in the US are not standing in solidarity with AP against the viewpoint-based White House exclusion. Let them all stop covering the press conferences and media availabilities until the White House relents.

The FAA is now investigating an incident in which a Southwest Airlines jet and a private jet at Chicago's Midway Airport nearly collided on Tuesday. NOTE: The Trump administration is responsible for slashing 400 jobs at the FAA just within the past week — jobs which supported…

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

More than 230,000 Canadians signed a petition to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship and passport over what the petition calls his attempts to engage in practices that go against Canada’s national interest.

Senator Chris Murphy torches Elon Musk: "The scope of this greed is something we have never, ever seen before in this country, and we should not accept it as normal in the United States of America." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Give us your tired, your poor — oh, wait, no — give us your millionaires, your billionaires…

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

NEW: DOGE quietly deletes the five largest spending cuts it had been celebrating last week. All of them contained errors that wildly over-inflated how much had been saved. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

We are witnessing a historic and frequently illegal dismantling of the government by the richest man in the world. Lets check in on the Congressional committee whose job it is to monitor what is happening in the executive branch:

For all of the powerful forces diligently trying to replace reality with Trump’s worldview, this weekend was a small reminder that a huge part of the country is largely immune to the effort. Gift link: wapo.st/3EQUTiR

Considering that Musk routinely shares the personal data, addresses, etc. of people who make him mad and sics his degenerate legions on those enemies, is it any wonder people don't want him to have access to all their banking, social security, medical info?

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

today in reposting good news:

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

To understand the moment we are in as a country, this is incredibly important to take in:

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

The federal agency responsible for traffic safety, which has been investigating self-driving technology in Tesla vehicles, will fire a “modest” number of employees, an agency spokesman said Friday.
