‘Ultimate bringers of life’: How one Cornwall farmer is using beavers to stop flooding

Can we start renaming his real estate now?

Kinzinger-Sykes: Today's Oval Office Disgrace Thank you! Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.bsky.social

It’s time for Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden to call Trump out youtu.be/NCYqiZ-RhKw?... Trump is staging a coup in the USA and the last four living presidents are doing nothing to save the country they served. Why is that? When will they act to save their country?

So the Republican senators and congress are all gonna go along with abandoning an ally because Krasnov said so? is that right?

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

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

Sign of the day…

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News: ◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone. ◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.

Every single politician in America, especially Republican could learn a lesson about not cravenly debasing yourself like a pathetic meek coward. (There are other terms that come to mind.)

I don’t think that enough people realize that the shitshow we saw today was a full and complete capitulation by the United States. The west lost the Cold War in front of our eyes.

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

John Bolton calls for Marco Rubio to resign. John Bolton, former U.S. National Security Advisor, Alexander Vindman, former Director of European Affairs for the National Security Council and John Brennan, former CIA Director join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House. youtu.be/pBhR99pdHps?...

That headline is perfect:

These numbers seem important

I appreciate a correct headline: Our President Is A Global Embarrassment

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Polish Prime Minister. This is how a leader responds.

Boycotts are effective. Boycotts must have a demand. We are boycotting Target because they bent to bigotry. Target’s foot traffic is down 10% since we called for a boycott. We will continue to boycott until our demands are met. We will keep organizing.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

This whole thread is fantastic

what a day

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

Ask Eichman how “just following orders” worked out for him… Here are all the employees of DOGE that the NYTimes has verified archive.ph/2025.02.27-1...

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed in 1994, provided security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for its relinquishment of nuclear weapons, with commitments from Russia, the USA, the UK, and France to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and borders. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Yup.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

On February 26, 2022, when the USA offered evacuation from Kyiv, Zelensky said, "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." Today, Zelensky didn't need a ride either; he walked away.
