NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Did anyone really think President Zelenskyy would get a fair deal in his meeting with Trump the bully who, just like Putin, thinks he is entitled to claim other countries!?

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Trump: You've allowed to be in a very bad position...You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. You're gambling with World War three. Vance: Have you said thank you once? Zelenskyy: A lot of times. Vance: Offer some words of appreciation for the US and [Trump]...

When did firing FBI agents, IRS agents, park rangers, scientists, and air traffic controllers becoming a better idea than simply taxing billionaires their fair share? 🤔

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Thousands upon thousands of Americans have had their jobs terminated immediately with more to come. Republicans care nothing for the worker. Democrats are allowing the indignity and chaos. I don’t recognize my country.

Why am I NOT surprised to see that House Republicans are pushing ahead with their budget plan to cut TRILLIONS from the budget at the expense of American people? CUT Medicaid, CUT food programs for our seniors and children. They’re just looking out for their billionaire buddies.

Will #Republican legislators ever do the right thing and stand up for this country? apnews.com/live/trump-p...

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

The founders drafted the U.S. Constitution to share power among three branches of government—a deliberate move to ensure the country was not run by a monarch or dictator. The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power of the purse and tasks the president with implementing laws passed by Congress.

How far we have delineated from “Every heart beats true for the red, white and blue where there’s never a boast or brag.” 😏 Complete opposite now.

We need to reclaim our democracy! Listen to the lovely Marvin Gaye and get inspired! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ9W...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

Thanks #Ikea for introducing everybody to this great song! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdIC...

Sketchbook page. Sketching for sanity in this depressing country.

The news is so depressing.

Trump has called Gaza a shithole for Palestine and says the USA will take over. So for the protest voters how are you feeling now. We told you Trump will do this.

Loving Sky’s Portrait Artist/Landscape Artist of the Year on #Tubi !!! Inspiring. Has me drawing every day again.

No one voted for Elon Musk.

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

Don’t capitulate!!!! #60Minutes #CBS #Paramount I will lose all respect for you 😠

Republicans are trying to rip you off by stealing taxpayer money in order to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations. They are determined to slash Medicaid, Head Start, Meals on Wheels and funding for first responders. #NeverSurrender

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

Well, I assume that this includes Byrne-JAG grants. So….the Trump Admin has officially “defunded the police.” apnews.com/article/trum...

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

In today’s history lesson, we are going to read about the Smoot-Hawley tariffs. Back in 1930 another Dipshit (Hoover) thought it would be smart to put tariffs on all imports, because the manufacturers felt they weren’t getting enough of the pie.

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

Truth to Power #BishopMariannBudde

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

Truth matters.

An indomitable health care & civil rights champion who was unwilling to ever walk away from a righteous fight, Cecile Richards let no injustice go unchallenged. We will miss her dearly — and we join the Richards family and friends in mourning this remarkable person.

#Conclave is excellent!

Two billionaires are trying to take over our state government. They’ve bought the Governor. They’ve bought the Attorney General. They’ve bought the State Senate. Now they’re trying to buy the State House. Texas is too big and too great to be sold to the highest bidder.

Melania Trump declined Jill Biden’s invitation for tea at the White House, and yet I haven’t seen a single Republican call her out for disrespecting “protocol.”

President Biden, laid it down: - 18 year term limit for SCOTUS - No stock trading for Congress - No immunity for Presidents for crimes they commit in office, because that's bullshit THAT PART! 🔥🔥🔥

It shouldn't be difficult to commit to preserving the evidence from the Special Counsel’s January 6th investigation. And yet...

Volunteers at the LA Regional Food Bank are serving as part of the California Volunteers program to distribute essential supplies to those impacted by the Los Angeles fires. It is thanks to these extraordinary volunteers that California can continue standing strong. Thank you for your service.

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.

Gee, like anyone is surprised that Joni Ernst supports Hegseth.
