FINALLY one western nation is acting to root out Russian interference. Romania's investigations into Pro-Russian candidate Georgescu reveal another puppet of the Putin regime. $10,000,000 in cash, trips back and forth to Moscow, all the usual. Why can't other nations get serious about Russians?

Some announcements today from two House Republicans.

yep. and this is the basic problem with trump being psychologically incapable of perceiving a positive sum relationship. everything is a dominance game for him.

Crypto is a scam. Period. It’s an easy way to turn our money into their money.

"Draw me like one of your French girls JD"

DOGE keeps lying about their claims.

Elon Musk appears to be wearing a SafeLife-style level 3+ concealable kevlar vest under his shirt. That's why his looks this way. He is terrified and in fear for his life.

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Time is closing in on the first federal election of 2025 Josh Weil is the Democratic Nominee for U.S. Congress in the special election for Florida's 6th District. 🦋REPOSTS APPRECIATED🦋 Please support his campaign @joshweil.bsky.social secure.actblue.com/donate/weil-... #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy

3 days ago, he publicly bullied Zelensky. Earlier today, he stopped all U.S. cyber operations against Russia. And just now, he paused all military aid to Ukraine. Quit beating around the bush. Trump stands AGAINST the free world. He’s on Putin’s side. He’s doing Putin’s work. Shameful. Traitorous.

BREAKING: Trump executive order will clear-cut 280 MILLION acres of our national forests and parks to sell for timber.

Trump has halted all military assistance to Ukraine and is currently engaging in public discussions about removing sanctions on Russia. 🇷🇺

Yep. I remember when Kamala was the commie.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemns Trump's 'unjustified' 25% tariffs and says retaliatory tariffs on $155 billion of American goods will take effect at 12:01 AM EST if the U.S. moves forward tonight.

This may be the most alarming thing I have read in months. www.thedailybeast.com/former-socia...

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Ending education programs-so kids can’t get services To give Musk another tax break That’s what Trump is apparently doing Senator Richard Blumenthal “When you cut programs that enrich education to give tax breaks to the wealthy, who is..holding the bag? Our students” DON’T DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

If the POTUS wanted to downsize the federal government, he could do that, through a perfectly legal process. Instead this administration has empowered a billionaire to wage psychological warfare on federal employees. Apparently the point is to make us so miserable that we’ll quit.

NEW: Trump pauses US military aid to Ukraine. A WH official said that the U.S. was “pausing & reviewing” its aid to “ensure that it is contributing to a solution.” I call B.S.! Don't we all know who's celebrating right now? Spoiler alert: It's not any of our allies. apnews.com/article/trum...

ED may have realized they overreached and pulled back, but still where is the guidance telling teachers what is / is not ok to teach. Can they cover Jim Crow laws? American involvement in WWII? We shouldn’t have to hire private law firms to interpret. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

#TrumpTariffs (aka national sales tax) set to go into effect at midnight Stock markets are tumbling GDP falling Prices will go up

Proof he knows nothing about the farming industry and how it works…

I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union. I disagree. They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber. It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

Bro

The State of the Union is a live-action test of how much gaslighting, dysfunction, denial, and delusion a democracy can survive.

I am just amazed at how this tech bro suddenly is a big peace maker and cares deeply about Ukrainian children. Man just leave us alone, you 100% showed that you are on russian payroll. We got it. No need to go deeper.

This is the Dems secret weapon. Funny !!!

🚨SOS!!🚨 a whistleblower who works in the federal govt just got this info to me. You guys they are dismantling Social Security. It’s happening right now. Like, NOW. With an interruption in services in 2-3 months. I can’t say who this person is but they’re in a position to know. SPREAD THE WORD! 🧵

Hope to see you there

“Russia Ukraine is not a proxy for whether you like Trump or not, Russia is our enemy, and paid the Taliban bounties to kill American soldiers”

Woke up this morning thinking about the fact that three autocratic, anti-democratic regimes—the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America—now constitute a majority of the permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council.

We are firing Rangers at National Parks, scientists & aid workers that treat/prevent/research disease and feed the poor, & disabled vets helping fellow vets at VA hospitals, but the good news is we are going to buy a shit ton of crypto so Trump & his friends can make billions.

Tucker Carlson is now repeating unfounded allegations that weapons sent to Ukraine are ending up with groups that include Hamas. The Hamas claim originated from a fake BBC-Bellingcat video created by a Russian disinformation campaign mimicking news organisations and was debunked months ago.

According to Billionaire Jesus these are not human beings

Zelensky meets with an actual king, not one who thinks he is. kyivindependent.com/zelensky-mee...

I saw folks protesting at my local Tesla service center. Right on ✊🏾 I’m convinced unelected co-president Elon Musk is going to devolve the United States government into a version of what Tesla has become. Hear me out. 🧵

75 million Harris/Walz voters would like to say “Thank You,” President Zelensky. 🇺🇦

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go into effect on Tuesday, but that Felon Trump will determine whether to stick with the planned 25% level

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

How it started How it’s going 💰 🤷🏼‍♂️

Musk here isn’t simply being stupid. He’s purposely defining Nazism down. The claim that there weren’t Nazis until, in effect, 1939, is ridiculous—but it is an attempt to stop people from correctly calling out elements of Nazism today as long as or until there’s not an actual world war or genocide.

Australian newspaper

There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

Musk is now claiming that DOGE has no legal authority to fire federal workers or cancel contracts. OK, so govt workers are firing THEMSELVES? And govt contracts are rescinding THEMSELVES? These people use words so carelessly.

⚡️Canada imposes new sanctions against Russia. Canada introduced new sanctions on March 2 against 10 Russian individuals and 21 entities. The sanctions target military leaders, post-Wagner paramilitary groups, and affiliated organizations involved in resource extraction.

The facts: ▪️ Ukraine did not start the war; Russia launched an unprovoked invasion. ▪️ The U.S. has given Ukraine $122 billion, not $350 billion. ▪️ Zelenskyy is not a dictator — he was elected in 2019. No vote has been held since due to the war. https://cbsn.ws/4ioWLOq
