The Trump $5 million Citizen Card. Don’t leave your homeland without it.

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

During yesterday's press conference, Trump and Vance exploded a political global nuclear bomb that will affect the world order for decades. Trump made it perfectly clear he and his administration will support our democratic sworn enemies (Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea) going forward.

"This is not diplomacy, this isn't foreign policy, this is thuggery."

The word is getting out about Trump’s White House giving an Epstein binder to a supporter who wore a “Free Ghislaine” shirt. TikTok: campcallout

“This is going to be a massive loss of life overall,” a surgeon who formerly led USAID’s global health initiatives tells @gregsargent.bsky.social. “Children are likely already dying, and will clearly be dying in large numbers.”

This, from @ldfreedman.bsky.social, is a good summary of how things blew up. samf.substack.com/p/two-steps-...

Donald knows who his daddy is.

So true. Trump is and always has been a mob boss.

We had a four-year-old telling Trump he's not the president and that he should shut his mouth while wiping boogers all over the Resolute Desk. One might say that was disrespectful.

New in PN: @oliverdarcy.bsky.social on a cowed mainstream press "Whether it’s Meta or Amazon or Bezos, it’s clear that Trump runs the show. That’s incredibly worrying. The whole job of the Fourth Estate is to hold the powerful accountable — not to bend the knee."

Fox News is showing protesters in Vermont holding pro-Ukraine signs ruining JD Vance's vacation. 🤣

Le Figaro (France’s second largest and principal center-right paper): Even **the Russians** were stunned at Trump’s boorish public display. lefigaro.fr

This is the response some USAID contractors and grantees gave SCOTUS to USG claims that Judge Amir Ali had with no notice told them to pay their bills. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Pweese tank us moor.

The editorial board at the conservative National Review joined the chorus of political observers stunned over the explosive White House showdown that Trump and Vance subjected Ukrainian President Zelensky to on Friday.

Take a moment to watch the "clap out" at USAID’s headquarters this week in D.C., where people stood for hours (in the rain) to cheer for each and every person as they emerged from the building with their stuff. ❤️ katieauth.substack.com/p/clap-out-a...

The US comments on the Trump-Vance ambush of Zelensky yesterday offer two clear lines: Some think that Trump was unwise mishandling an ally. Others understand that Trump does not see any Western democracy like an ally but an enemy. Trump's ally is Putin. & the US?!

I’ll take Twinning Evil Autocrats for $1,000, Alex.

Art, in all its forms—even a simple pastry—preserves who we are. On Oscar night, as we celebrate cinematic artistry, let’s also embrace the small joys of creativity, like crafting a French gougère.

SCOREBOARD: Stands up to dictators. Zelensky: 2 Trump: 0

Disgusted. 🤢 Dirty. Ashamed. A 🧵 For an entire afternoon, most of us felt it. Still do now. The mobster-like bullying and language: 1/

How long until Trump sends our military into Ukraine to "liberate" Russia?

Heartbreaking what they’re doing to the place. “I cannot continue to serve in such a hostile and toxic work environment, one where leadership at the highest levels makes clear we are not welcomed or valued, much less trusted to do our jobs” thehill.com/homenews/adm...
