Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

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.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has refused to comment on the Trump attack on Zelenskyy, the FT reports. The only major European leader to do so.

Yesterday Keir Starmer thanked Donald Trump for "changing the conversation" on Ukraine. Today's conversation:

Shameful

Will the King cancel the State Visit? Or at the very least, push down the date to 2027/2028, by which time the moron will be impeached for High Treason and gone - Vance’s wings clipped?

The “man” who promised to deport rapists, thugs and the criminally insane just imported Andrew and Tristan Tate.

Just cut federal cancer research & food for starving children.

If Russia ceases combat operations, the war is over. If Ukraine ceases combat operations, Ukraine is over

When will Donald Trump start asking Israel for the USA's money back?

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?

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

Everyone knows that Trump is planning on abandoning Ukraine and siding with Putin. None of this is a shock. The rest of the world needs to stop pretending there is any chance of working with Trump. #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump Posted 14 Times About His Daytona 500 Trip, Nothing About Multi-State Flooding An indifferent Trump was chauffeured around the racetrack as Kentucky mourned 8 deaths including a mom and her 7 year old child meidasnews.com/news/trump-p...

So Musk is firing FAA employees and planning to replace them with SpaceX employees. When is TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH. We need to stop this before it's at the point of no return

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

📌There has not been a president in my lifetime who has purposefully inflicted pain on people like this one. He is completely dead inside.

Brah... Very true

This is ghoulish from Labour. Using people's suffering to try and appease Reform, which is something no-one will ever go far enough for. Labour has the potential to actually be doing something to reduce hostility. Instead they are stoking anti-migrant attitudes just like the Conservatives did.

Trump has already started dismantling democracy in USA. I don’t think there will be any more free presidential elections. Trump will fix that.

BREAKING: The Senate confirmed Project 2025 architect Russell Vought as the new director of OMB on a party-line vote of 53-47. During the campaign, Trump repeatedly lied, saying he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025.

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

really wild to think that a lot of this boils down to two narcissistic manbabies with daddy issues getting their feefees hurt when people made fun of them

Let alone the madness of taking over Gaza and fascist ethnic cleansing, imagine the amount of terror attacks across the world against anything American and US citizens. Someone stop Trump!

“FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States.” Brilliant headline from The Onion in the USA - and all so plausible, as do Putin & Xi incidentally 😡

Casar: "I don't know why Republican members even show up to this committee or Congress when it's clear who's really in charge of the federal govt right now, and that's Elon Musk."

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Joe Biden, by allowing if not facilitating the total demolition of Gaza by Israel with his unconditional financial and armement support, paved the way for Trump’s outrageous plan.

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

Donald Trump, allegedly the “leader of the free world,” has attacked Canada, Ukraine, and Taiwan harsher than he ever attacked Russia, China, and North Korea. Let that sink in.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

Weak response from the UK government on Trump’s tariffs - « we want to build a strong trading relationship [with the USA] » Is there nothing Starmer wouldn’t to preserve the so-called special relationship, even if that means turning our back on our closest friends& allies (incl. the EU)? Shameful.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Spain built a 385.9 mile high speed train line from Madrid to Barcelona it cost £8.1bn. The UK is still building a 140 mile high speed train line which will cost over £100bn. Who is stealing all the money?

HOLY COW! Canadian MP, Charlie Angus regarding Trump's tariffs: "The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States—a convicted felon and known predator."

Venezuela has one of the largest global refugee crises, and the largest in Latin American history because of Maduro. Of course he said he will accept people returned, he's the one they are trying to escape. This is the absolute definition of "refoulement", and illegal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

After this week, I want House Democrats to do something like this.
