open.substack.com/pub/noahpini... It’s been evident for some time to anyone paying attention that Trump is a gangster turning the US into a gangster state. The ambush in the White House on Friday morning should make even conservatives sit up and take notice Noah Smith argues

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Until you've led your nation against a brutal invasion for three years, until you've witnessed the aftermath of war crimes in your towns, until you've met thousands of bereaved families of soldiers - you don't get to criticise Zelensky for not sitting silently while Trump and Vance parroted Putin.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.

As yesterday's rancid display confirmed, Trump's turning the U.S. into a tool at the service of the Putin Regime. And as I discussed a month ago, Trump's doing so at a time Putin's rickety regime is vulnerable. But then that's what friends are for.

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

I've now seen the full thing, and it's even more hideous. Zelensky comes out well, though. As for Trump and Vance, and some of the press corps, it's a mark of their cowardice, quite as much of their allegiances, that they would never talk to Putin in this way.

Hard to think of a more dangerous moment for European security since the height of the Cold War. It’s brutally clear US is now indifferent if not actively hostile to Ukraine in the war. It’s not clear if the US would aid Europe if Russia were to expand that war...

Trump has made it intolerable to need America or to have to be grateful to it. We have to unite and defend ourselves with our neighbours and allies. Forget about being a bridge that could be grenaded at any minute. We have to pick our side. And our side is Ukraine and Europe.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today. The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office. That's traumatizing.

Not covered in news today: kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children over the past several years. From CBS News 02/27/24: “Stealing children in times of war…is a war crime. The act of deporation and transfer can…constitute a crime against humanity and a component act of genocide.” 💙💛💔

A hundred years ago, they killed millions of Ukrainians through famine as punishment for seeking independence from the Soviet Union. Today, they are still trying to kill us, still trying to break our independent spirit. But I speak for every Ukrainian when I say: YOU WILL NEVER FUCKING BREAK US.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

President Zelenskyy of #Ukraine is being deluged by - and retweeting - support from European leaders following the shocking #Trump thuggery in the Oval Office today. Europe is upping its game. One significant name missing from the supportive messages thus far: Keir Starmer.

Trump is vastly worse than Chamberlain who genuinely thought peace was attainable (but was still rapidly rearming in case it wasn't). He didn't actively ally with Hitler and fought him when no alternative was left.

Starmer’s moment of glory lasted less than 24 hours. It’s time to face reality. America is no longer a reliable ally. Trump is a bully. Your praise of him meant nothing. It’s time to wean ourselves off America.
