I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Exactly: “It’s all but certain that many [Sullivan & Cromwell] lawyers are unhappy with the firm’s decision to become part of the Trump regime anti-rule of law machine, and for good reason. Apart from the sheer immorality of the firm’s choice … [a] starkly pragmatic question is also presented:”

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.

Trump proving beyond a doubt he is working for Russia, is now openly attacking Zelenskyy and Ukraine after failing to blackmail them for trillions of dollars. Everyday Trump is president is a 100 years of shame and embarrassment for the United States.

Trump will probably try to invade Ukraine alongside Russia next, pinning US troops against Europe.

Europe must stay focused and act now to back president Zelenskyy against Putin. At today's meeting with heads of states, hosted by Emmanuel Macron, we saw that we have the tools – sanctions, tariffs, frozen assets - to keep up the maximum pressure. We will not give up and we will #StandWithUkraine

The funniest part? Donald Trump couldn’t care less about “American taxpayer money,” “the lives of Russians and Ukrainians,” or “peace on Earth.” The only things that truly matter to him are his bottomless ego and his relentless obsession with proving how “tough” and “victorious” he is.

U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes slams Trump's DOJ: Reyes asked DOJ to explain how pronoun usage would impact military readiness during a hearing on Trump's order. DOJ attorney: "I don't—" Reyes: "Because it doesn't. Because any common sense rational human being understands that it doesn't."

Judge Reyes went on to say the notion that anyone in the military is affected by having to use someone else's preferred pronouns is "ridiculous."
