In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.

I TRULY LOVE AND RESPECT @ericswalwell.bsky.social Congressman Eric Swalwell tonight Message to Little Marco Rubio "Bro, did you write this?" "Don't bullshit us. Grow a pair "

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Video interview now on with @michaelsteele.bsky.social on his incredible show “Make Mine A Double”. Yes, we drank bourbon during the interview and if you’re easily offended, might not want to watch this…. 😎 youtu.be/WcHsEJne1NU?...

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

These numbers seem important

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

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

This is the transcript of the conversation between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky Everything Zelensky said is 1000% true and reasonable Everything Trump and Vance said is not just false and insulting, it’s actual Kremlin propaganda Shame on EVERY PERSON WHO VOTED FOR THIS TRAITOR 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

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

Trunk can’t understand why Zelensky keeps saying “negative things” about Putin.

Almost half of Republican men now believe that women should return to their traditional roles in society (up from 28 percent in 2022) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

…I know that guy (Thank you to @congressmin.bsky.social for speaking out for me as a constituent, but I also want to make clear that I am not the only one this has happened to. The right has used this tactic against MANY people over the past ten years, and it is an attempt to stifle speech)

Republicans don’t care about working people—they care about not getting primaried. Mike Johnson dismisses town hall voters as “Democrat plants.” Like they don’t matter, but these are real Americans with real fears. Nothing changes until GOP voters feel the pain and realize they got conned.

Candyman Ronny Jackson is in Florida, and I think he is so mad at Zelensky that he might actually be crying a little bit as he rages. His hero was disrespected, I guess.

If the IRS were forced to disclose taxpayer information in violation of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would set a dangerous precedent that could, in theory, be used to justify the release of anyone’s tax records—including those of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump.

. @mcfaulmike.bsky.social : "All of our enemies throughout all of our history have been dictatorships. Our most enduring allies, our strongest allies, have always been democracies. And today our president wants to switch sides."

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Literally all he did was quote someone. Defining criticism of the government as treason is what authoritarians do. Turning a publicly funded news outlet into a state media propaganda machine is what authoritarians do.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

How Elon Musk planned for DOGE: Our investigation found that he raised the idea in 2023, becoming fixated on gaining insider access to federal systems. By Dec., he chose USDS as a landing place, and future DOGE members began applying for jobs there. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

F.B.I. Returns Materials Taken From Mar-a-Lago to Trump Next: To Russia With Love, from Donald Trump Vladimir Putin is watching and waiting for a very special delivery from Comrade Krasnov.

THEY BREACHED SYSTEMS BEFORE THEY EVEN WROTE UP AN EO

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office on Friday to cover President Trump’s sit-down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/m...

For the record, the FBI turned over to Trump for storage at his library documents that were so sensitive and highly classified that his lawyers could only view them in a SCIF.

The U.S. Mint removed from its website the gold medals honoring police officers who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6. Yet another instance of Trump moving to take down material related to the violent episode caused by his election lies. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

McFaul: But we keep talking about Trump wants to do a deal to end the war. I'm not so sure that's true. I think he wants to do a deal with Putin. And the Ukraine thing is kind of a sideshow.

I keep saying this: if you grew up under an abuser, you know exactly what this is and that no appeasement is possible.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

If you were planning to undermine the rule of law, what would your first step be? Gee, I wonder… 🤔

Jeff Bezos had a busy day Wednesday. After announcing the obliteration of the Washington Post’s editorial page that morning, he had dinner that night with Donald Trump. 👉

Trump and Vance’s meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office today “gave the lie to any claim that this administration’s policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the United States, however misguided,” @davidfrum.bsky.social writes. Read more: theatln.tc/SowY3Uin

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Let it all come out. There will be a reckoning. Zelensky is a hero.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

A perfect illustration of what the Republican Party is.

Jeff has this right. What we witnessed today was the most appalling public failure of US leadership in our foreign policy history. (The previous worst was Trump-Putin in Helsinki in 2018.)

"Putin went through a hell of a lot with me." ~Donald Trump

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Most drastic cut in spending by US consumers in three years last month despite decline in inflation.

And let me say before any Republican law maker is asked about what just happened in the White house...fuck you You're responsible for this.

The most shocking display by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office against Zelensky. It had the look of an ambush.
