Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting: Trump tariffs are illegal. Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates. President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

To all Democrats (and if there are any decent Republicans): Please wear a pin or a blue and yellow ribbon 🇺🇦 at SOTU to show Trump you support Ukraine, not him. Ukraine is protecting their sovereignty and democracy as well as ours and Europe’s.

Call your Senators & Reps tomorrow morning, especially the GOP ones, & demand support for Ukraine. Every GOP official needs to be asked if they are behind Trump & believe we should ally with Putin over Zelensky.

Here’s the full Trump-Zelensky presser. Trump, unable to find most countries on a map, is so wildly out of his depth here - and he’s sabotaging US interests amid his and Vance’s tag-team bullying of Zelensky. Utterly reckless and shameful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvwr...

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.

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.
