Susan Collins is concerned again.

Super-shocked. The ambush was a pretext to illegally impound Ukraine aid.

Freeland: As prime minister, I will fight back with retaliatory tariffs and our retaliation is going to be surgically targeted to create the maximum pressure on The White House.. An example of a measure that I will put in place as prime minister is 100% tariffs on Teslas.

@juliadavisnews.bsky.social: "Don't think for a second that aid to Ukraine was stopped because Zelensky didn't wear a suit or disputed Vance's 'stories' that originated with Russia-funded bloggers. Trump was going to do this all along, and the Russians knew it. 'Trump is ours' remains their motto."

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Wow. Insanity. This was a state court prosecution.

Hungary blocked the draft EU document on security guarantees for Ukraine and new military aid.

🔥🤩 Fantastic detonation of Russian T-80

“European Union countries are buying too much of their defense equipment abroad, almost two-thirds of it in the US, and failing to invest enough in joint military projects” Imagine if the UK/EU spent their billions in Europe, not in the US! Independence! www.defensenews.com/global/europ...

And u make me sick!

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

Another strong woman speaks the TRUTH…

Imagine that. 💰

🇫🇷🇪🇺 Macron: "Europeans can no longer rely on NATO as they once did, because Trump's position has weakened it. We will need 10 years to free ourselves from American influence through massive local and European investment."

🇺🇦 As U.S. support wavers, Ukraine & Europe race to replace American air defenses. The UK pledges 5,000 Martlet missiles, Norway plans NASAMS production in Ukraine—but Patriots remain irreplaceable. Europe may have to step up with SAMP/T systems. www.forbes.com/sites/davida...

Ok, Canadians. You know what to do. Tighten our belts. Strengthen our resolve. Show our unity. Demonstrate our national pride. Support our real allies. Put Canada first forever and always.

Trump suspends all US military aid to Ukraine just days after berating Zelensky in the Oval Office for not being grateful enough, undercutting an ally trying to fend off Russian invaders as Moscow celebrates the change in US policy. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

During the campaign, little noticed, Trump suggested he might stop sharing intelligence w/NATO. This is consistent with that: Rather than simply withhold intelligence about RU's sabotage of Europe, Trump will simply not collect it.

🇬🇧🇺🇦"President Zelenskyy is a democratically elected leader, and he has made it clear that his mission is to bring lasting peace to Ukraine," - UK Deputy Defense Minister Luke Pollard

✈️🇬🇧 Sky News: The UK is ready to close the sky over Ukraine to ensure a peace deal, PM Starmer said. 🇺🇦 UK is prepared to provide not just troops, but also aviation to monitor the peace agreement.

JFC. This from the FORMER HEAD OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION is grim. “Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” O’Malley said. “I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days.” www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

UK defence spending is about to boom – can British firms step up? Keir Starmer plans to build up UK military, but domestic companies could lose out if it is forced to turn to US weapons instead www.theguardian.com/business/202...

When I was in Congress we were constantly told to not call social security a “Ponzi scheme” unless we want to never win another election. Elon Musk just called social security a “Ponzi scheme.” But hasn’t touched his contracts with the govt yet

Trump wants his billionaire Republican donors to be free to rip off America. That’s the plan. That’s always been the plan.

When will ordinary Trump-supporting Americans figure out really what’s going on? When they do, it will be too late.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “I will not be attending President Trump’s address to Congress. The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law and he is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies"

Full page in today’s Anchorage Daily News:

First, Tom Homan's job is to be a "czar" he doesn't have any arrest powers or is even in the chain-of-command of law enforcement. Second, what law? Third, dude is a fucking criminal all his own.

This. So much this.

Swalwell: "Frankly, as somebody who has been to Ukraine during this war, it's maddening to see that we as a country who always fought the axis of evil are now joining Russia."

BREAKING: Head of FBI NY Field Office Retires Under Pressure. Our nation is being assaulted by fascism.

🇺🇸 In 2022, U.S. agricultural exports reached $179 billion, with Mexico and Canada being two of the largest markets for American farmers. Now, farmers will experience firsthand what it means to vote for Trump.

The market is tanking, Trump just launched a trade war, we told Cyber Command to stand down against Russia, Trump is rolling out a massive crypto scam, and drug dealers have started selling eggs because the profit margin is better. You aren’t distracting us with culture war BS.

Trump's on the side of Putin. Why? He likes dictators--but he also knows that Putin will help him stay in power here. Can Europe and Congress help save the free world when the American president has defected to the other side? @Timodc and I discuss. youtu.be/lc1h4MAURvk?...

A French supplied Ukrainian Mirage 2000-5F in Ukrainian skies. Their supply was confirmed not long ago. The multirole fighter jet is armed only with 2 external fuel tanks.

Chris Murphy: "Let's remember- congressional Republicans held up Ukraine aid for over 6 months, allowed for Russia to go on the offensive. So even before Donald Trump was president, congressional Republicans were not doing the things necessary to support the most vital fight in defense of democracy"

Republican Greg Murphy was asked point-blank if Veterans would lose their benefits due to GOP cuts. His answer? “No, I can’t guarantee anything.” This is the Republican Party under Trump: shrugging off the well-being of Veterans while pushing reckless cuts.

Wyden on why he's not attending Trump's speech tomorrow and instead is hosting a town hall: "We're not interested in hearing about the Donald Trump alternate reality."

“Hey, I’m all for cutting waste. But Elon’s approach is as smart as having WWII bombers randomly carpet-bomb the country. He’s missing his targets, and to the extent he’s hitting stuff, he’s destroying things that help the country. Not to mention it’s all illegal, he’s nuts—and no one elected him.”

The debacle in the white house with Zelensky has prompted the Italians to organise a cross party pro European demonstration in Rome ("no party flags, only blue flags"). One of the slogans is "we make Europe or we die". Hopefully this galvanises people! www.ildiariodellavoro.it/una-piazza-p...

I just spoke with a senior financial advisor at a well-known, multinational investment bank. He expects a significant decline in the stock market if Trump’s tariffs are imposed on Mexico and Canada, and an even steeper decline if tariffs are imposed on Europe.

The Dow has now lost almost all gains made since Trump's victory on November 5. His economic policies have been all sticks and no carrots.
