This is a loudly blown whistle.

South Carolina is burning down to the ground but where is Trump? He’s golfing. Why isn’t Trump criticizing Republican Governor Henry McMaster? Oh, He’s golfing.

Someone, no idea who, may be leaking information to Russia on weapons shipments to Ukraine.

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House. Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please! Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

new world order, we're out.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

EU foreign policy chief: “.. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader.” @kajakallas.bsky.social

Zelenskyy is a warrior for democracy. Putin is a war criminal. Full stop.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Zelenskyy thanking all of the world leaders who support for Ukraine is an epic troll on JD Vance and Donald Trump. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who'd like to see Town Halls loudly criticizing trump and Musk across America every week. And if Republican members of Congress don't show up, that's fine... An empty chair will work. Let's fucking DO THIS.

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize? I think we have a winner.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

There are some areas where we’ve passed the break glass point and are in an authoritarian regime. Foreign policy is now one of them. The President of the United States is an unadulterated monster.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

What was up with tRump putting his hands on Zelenskyy? Pushing him and poking him? There is no amount of water or bleach to clean that off…

The government doesn’t give money to poor people. It gives money to corporations by ensuring their underpaid workers don’t starve. The ‘free market’ is a lie—your taxes are propping up companies that refuse to pay fair wages.

Jessica: I thought the most shocking part was that Trump says, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.. Are you comfortable with an American president saying Putin went through a hell of a lot with me? Are they buddies?

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

A reporter who's dating a woman in Congress who looks like a Neanderthal takes issues with a man who isn't wearing a suit while fluffing for the two men wearing makeup in the Oval Office. Clown. Show.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Of course.

And just like that, overnight, there’s a US-Russia axis. If you made a movie out of this people would say it’s an absurd premise

Someone from Russian state media just slips into the Oval Office?????

My Senator is a traitor.

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup
