Per @jayinkyiv.bsky.social: “The previously extremely pro-American former President of Romania just called Trump ‘The Butcher of the White House.’ Traian Basescu, ex-President of Romania has just stated that Trump ‘is deliberately weakening Ukraine so that Putin can strike unhindered.’”

Rubio's gutting of USAID is illegal and unconstitutional. There is no form of democracy anywhere of any kind that would allow the executive branch to unilaterally cancel budgets and programs passed by the legislative branch and signed into law. It's utter lawlessness.

"The gloves are off, Trump is purely looking at our federal forests not as valued land but merely as pieces of property." This stupid felon thinks that logging would help forest fires, when actually, it'll make them worse. Call Congress to object: 202-224-3121 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

1/ The Guardian's Simon Tisdall has written a terrific call to arms. I suggest reading the whole thing, but here are the opening sentences: "It’s not only about Donald Trump." No pay wall. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/03/donald-trump-world-leaders-democracy

The Oversight hearing with the Four Mayors (of Chicago, NY, Boston, Denver) has been fascinating. It's one of the few hearings in which only one side has witnesses they agree with -- the GOP can't ask a question to get an echo or confirmation. The Mayors have been holding their own quite well.

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy. Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech: if you can spell things like: "Disinformation" "Misinformation" "Fibs" "Untruths" "Fabrications" "Demonstrable falsehoods" “Plays loosely w/facts” "Mendacity" "Prevarications” Or "whoppers" Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

In just 45 days, nearly every government agency has been hacked and a cabinet hell-bent on ramping up Project 2025 has been installed. We are watching a coup in plain sight. What was democratic leadership's response? Pink suits and signs. 🙄 Our leaders are failing us. Decorum will be our DOOM.

Propaganda is the act of repeating a lie, continuously. Journalism is the act of publishing the truth, once. Lies are gonna win until we figure out that the truth needs repeating and defending.

Ill be watching the address tonight. I completely understand your desire to boycott it. I will do my best to provide an overview for anyone who doesn't tune in. It's important to know what he is going to do and get ready to fight back against it. Not wait until it happens for us to be surprised. 🫶🏽

This is the way. Thank you, AOC. 👏🏽 The real “joint address” has been happening all over the nation at town halls and Tesla dealerships. It’s happening online. We The People still matter. 👊🏽 No one voted for what’s happening. And absolutely no one voted for Musk.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
