Anyone claiming Zelenskyy doesn't want peace is either an idiot or a paid propagandist. Anyone claiming Zelenskyy should accept Trump's terms for peace is also an idiot or a paid propagandist.

The Trump administration is: breaking the law by not spending appropriated money from Congress breaking the law by ignoring a court order lying about it killing people *silencing public employees who are pointing all of this out

Zelensky dresses the way he does to show solidarity with the soldiers fighting on his country’s frontline. Trump dresses the way he does because he is a classless asshole. Any questions?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Also...doesn't this action just make in even more incredibly clear that whatever is in those boxes must be incredibly valuable to Trump, be it as blackmail or self-protection!

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Now that Katrina Leavitt--on a day Trump had to explain away another weird bruise on his right hand--refuses to let objective people cover the President, every day we should assume he is dead until a real journalist tells us differently.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

To the DOJ/FBI who remain, Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda. Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials. It will not work here either. Proceed accordingly. America

Good morning. We have a very bad man in the White House. A cruel, ignorant liar & tyrant. A man who’s 💯 compromised by Putin. A man who is the very thing our Founders feared. It is our duty, it is our calling, as free citizens in this democracy to resist this man & everything he stands for. Rest up.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Russia is invading Ukraine. Talks between aggressor Russia and the United States that exclude defender Ukraine are an effort by Putin and his subordinate Trump to further the invasion and extend the war. They are not “peace talks” or an effort to end the war.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

Instead of being sent to prison for his many crimes against the United States, the orange felon was given full power of the US govt and is now referring to himself as a King. I hate him with every fiber of my being and I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this tyrannical shit.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Murphy: "Let me say that again. The man that my Republican colleagues are about to vote to lead the FBI believes there is irrefutable proof that the agency he is about to lead secretly organized the violent assault on the Capitol. That is bananas. My Republican colleagues know that."

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is exactly what happened, if you ask me. It's just sad that the election was anywhere near close enough to cast doubt on obvious interference/rigging. Kinda surprised we haven't seen a more nuanced investigation of this yet, honestly 🙄
