The Trump regime is trying to pressure Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine and force him into exile in France, this is part of an ongoing US / Russia ploy to force a surrender and plunder the country's resources. #StandWithUkraine

Trump on Gaza: "It's a great location. I don't know why Israel ever gave that up ... it's one of the bad real estate deals."

In 2022, russians killed the mayor of Motyzhyn village, Olha Sukhenko, her husband and son. Before being kidnapped, she was evacuating village residents, delivering food and medicine. Their bodies were found in a mass grave after the liberation of the Kyiv region. russian occupation is not peace.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Bird Flu is spreading across the nation and putting the country in danger. The Trump administration response is to fire USDA microbiologists fighting the disease. We are using every tool available to us to stop them.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Kaja Kallas, the EU's top diplomat, denounced US President Donald Trump’s call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin today, saying any deal on Ukraine's future that is arranged without European involvement will be a non-starter.

If Adams doesn’t bend to Trump’s wishes, they will reopen that heavy DOJ corruption case against him. Trump has him by the short hairs to do his bidding. Paging Letitia James! Hold this corrupt mayor accountable and take away Trump’s leverage!

RFK Jr. confirmed. There goes the health of our nation.

By voting to confirm RFK Jr., the Senate “is wagering the future of our public health system on a prayer that a conspiracy theorist can build back up the agencies that he and his supporters have spent years breaking down,” Nicholas Florko writes.

Donald Trump doesn't care about women's sports. He's trying to stop a negligible number of trans athletes from playing sports to "protect opportunities for women" at the same time his administration is stopping women athletes from getting paid equally. Shameful hypocrisy. apnews.com/article/nil-...

There is something remarkable in seeing first McCain, then Romney, now McConnell — the standard bearers for the party! — forced out like this. Incredible illustration of the transformation of the Republican Party.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...
