Everything Trump is saying & doing regarding Ukraine makes perfect sense when you realize he is negotiating on behalf of Putin.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

Peaceful protests, of course, are not “illegal.” A government ban on peaceful protests would violate the First Amendment. The goal here seems to be intimidation and fear to chill free speech.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Even if a new team normal displaced the entire team crazy – including Trump and Musk– tomorrow, the damage to certain areas would take months or years to repair, or would be irreparable. Foreign policy, public health, and federal law enforcement all ravaged beyond quick repair.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone.
