It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

People may be waking up. America is basically a 50-50 country and Trump is governing like he won with some huge landslide. Big overreach. Governing radically is not sustainable. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
