Trump claims Ukraine doesn't want peace, but Russia started this war. Trump is Russia's best pawn, and they're using him to get everything they want.

GOP Leader Sen.John Thune says Trump’s tariffs “are oriented around specific objectives, in this case, to reduce the amount of fentanyl coming in this country, across our borders.” Keep up Thune! That was last month's rationale www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Two people disrespected the United States in the Oval Office today: President Trump and Vice President Vance. One person spoke in the best of American tradition: President Zelensky.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

“The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that.” Donald Tusk, Polish PM

When Republicans say "These tax cuts will pay for themselves" reporters should treat it the way they do "Trump won the 2020 election," as a proven lie that requires IMMEDIATE refutation in the reporter's voice, to make clear that they have repeated this assertion for decades and it never happens.

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Elon Musk bought the United States of America—the most powerful nation in the world—for $200M. For scale, Steve Ballmer bought the LA Clippers for $2B. The fucking Clippers.
