I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

What Trump is doing to rural America is sad. So sad. I know these people, and, while they deserve to suffer the effects of a Trump administration because he was *their* choice, they are good people with bad judgment (politically). They don't deserve to be destroyed, which is what's happening. So sad

I want to hear from Amy Klobuchar, who was so eloquent about rural healthcare in 2020.

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

“We’ll see you in court.” Gov. Janet Mills is a badass for this.

The Supreme Court is the one who's going to crown him, ultimately. Congress can't. I hope Mitch McConnell dies a slow, painful death.

Is Wagenknecht (BSW) hurting her chances with current strong pro-Russia statements, e.g. "serious offer"? Can only help if she's pulling votes from SPD - not credible, not mainstream. Is Russia trying to pull votes from major parties to make ANY coalition unstable? Strange times. Makes one wonder.

Isn't it more likely that Trump will pull out of the UN sooner than he leaves NATO? He needs to be in NATO in order to bully the Europeans and Ukraine, whereas the UN is of no use to him. Of course, when the US leaves, Israel will also leave.

Wanna bet that Trump also shows up in Moscow for 80th anniversary WWII parade? Xi is already confirmed, but Trump can't leave the stage to him, and now that his best bud is Putin.... So we will be treated to a scene of the three "world leaders" together on the podium, exactly what Putin wants.

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

Germans actually LAUGH at their politicians. All of them, nobody's spared! It's called Karneval/Fasching and it's in full swing, although it reaches its crescendo in the week before Ash Wednesday. Wait for the floats on Rosenmontag. Trump is sure to feature in the best (sharpest) of them.
