I wish more folks had read Proof of Corruption (2020). It offers a full history of the relationship between Trump and Ukraine going back years. Trump has hated Ukraine since the 2000s—and beyond the events that led to his first impeachment also illegally withheld the Javelins he loves to talk about.

liz Cheney: Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine...

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

The idea that JD Vance—who has never been to Ukaine and chalks up his knowledge to shit he read on the internet—believes he knows more about the situation in Ukraine than the man who has led it for the past 5.5 years is a perfect encapsulation of the havoc this administration is wreaking worldwide

We know Trump & Elon are corrupt. We’ve learned even more in the past 48 hours: 🚙 Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Tesla. 💰 Elon received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits. 🛰️ The FAA gave a contract to Elon’s company Starlink, worth billions.

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

Trump handed massive tax cuts to the rich in 2017. Now he's planning even more cuts. How are Trump and MAGA Republicans planning to pay for them? By making it harder for millions of Americans to access Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal programs. Trickle up economics.
