Watching the orange tyrant on TV with Zelensky. Zelensky's restraint is amazing.

Proudly!

I don’t know if I have ever in my lifetime felt more embarrassed to be an American than I feel at this very moment…

Ce soir plus que jamais aux côtés des ukrainiens et de Volodymyr Zelensky. Dans ces tempêtes où les vents mauvais soufflent forts, rassemblons nous derrière le président ukrainien. Il s’agit de nos valeurs, il s’agit de notre démocratie, il s’agit de notre liberté. Nous vaincrons. Slava ukraini !

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

I stand with Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I stand with President Zelenskyy!

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

Trump has brought shame on this nation and the world will never forget his betrayal.

Dear 🤡 and 🛋️, For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction, Russian asshat assets. And not very good ones. -Newton’s Third Law, revised 🪟👀 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

The king has lost his crown.

Get ready to wait on hold for hours to speak with the IRS. Why fire tax experts during tax season? To reduce oversight/enforcement of tax law for those who break the law? Such as those who funded your campaign for President and fill the ranks of your administration? www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Here’s What Senate Democrats Should Be Doing to Fight Trump Senate rules were explicitly designed to protect the minority. Democrats should exploit them mercilessly to slow Trump and Musk before they destroy the country. newrepublic.com/article/1912...

Doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican—this government isn’t on your side. Trump’s government is for billionaires and big corporations. 🚨NEW OVERNIGHT: Russell Vought, Trump’s acting CFPB director, ordered all employees to stop working – including fighting financial abuse.

Hey superbowl director, fyi I don’t wanna see Rupert Murdoch onscreen unless he’s literally dying, hopefully in a humiliating, karmically appropriate way

I followed as many as I can right now. I can see this is going to be a multi day endeavor. Oh but I want to remind everyone of this

Hi Congress, just want to give you a quick reminder of your required reading. Don’t worry, it’s pretty short. You ready? It’s Article I of the Constitution.

President Trump Booed By Crowd At Super Bowl 59 "Trump just got booed big time. And I'm loving it," one fan reported from the stadium. thespun.com/nfl/presiden...

Super Sunday. Good day for Football. Bad day for Chickens. Indeed, every day is a bad day for Chickens. While you gnosh on wings today I offer this annual reminder that in the US, we lay, hatch, grow, slaughter, bring to market, buy, cook, and eat, one million chickens per hour.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Trump is on an imperialist goose chase threatening Canada, Greenland, and Panama with annexation. Why? Because he doesn't want you to pay attention to his disastrous cabinet picks that are moving through the Senate this week.

Leave it to Trump, to piss off the friendliest country on the planet.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

For those farmers and farm adjacent folks that voted for Trump, what you’re about to feel re the tariffs we warned you about. Don’t pretend ya didn’t know

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I just wanted to note for the record that we have a decorated Iraq war veteran who flew combat missions in a Blackhawk as sitting member of Congress! Who also happens to be a woman! And if you don’t know who Tammy Duckworth is, you’re in for a treat (complimentary).
