Can't tell you how much I hate having to wake up each day and find out what fresh hell Musk and Trump have gotten up to since I went to sleep. Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea?

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?

Let me state the obvious. Ending the war is very easy. Putin must cease his attacks on Ukraine and stop the war that he started. But Putin has no intention of ending the war, and we do not have any quick and easy ways to influence him. We see no proof that Putin is interested in real peace.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Under Trump's leadership, the US took Russia's side at the UN, opposing a resolution acknowledging Russia’s responsibility for the war. @gallego.senate.gov and I rushed to the floor to force the Senate to condemn this betrayal of our ally. Republicans blocked us. youtu.be/Wtazkuq1JhU?...
