Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Keep fact checking ... and tell your friends. There's no reason kids should be dying of measles no matter what MAGA says.

Rule 1: Troika always wins Rule 2: Never fight a comms war against Zelensky

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Former US Ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul:

Ex-US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, apologized for Trump’s recent statements, expressing shame. Many GOP congressmembers such as Don Bacon, Rocker Wicker, Kevin Cramer, Tom Tillis, Eric Schmitt and Josh Haweley criticize Trump on Ukraine.

AS PROMISED:

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.

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

It’s hard to overstate how much America’s global standing has collapsed in just six weeks—but these two photos say it all. Humiliating.

Russia's response to Trump's tantrum says it all really:

It's right in front of your face.

Trump behavior today with Pres Zulensky was shameful. We have lost our standing with Europe and global allies. We are now an ally of Putin.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

CNN article 26 Feb 2022: "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has turned down an offer from the United States of evacuation from the capital city Kyiv, the Ukraine embassy in Britain on Twitter." “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” Zelensky told the US, according to the embassy.

You don’t need to be an infectious disease doctor to see where this is going

"If you're not pissed off, you're not paying attention."

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on 26 Feb. that NATO membership remains the most effective security framework for Ukraine’s future. euromaidanpress.com/2025/02/26/i...

Paramount, the parent company of BET, MTV and the Paramount film studio, said on Wednesday it was rethinking its approach to DEI policies amid a broader backlash driven by the Trump administration.

As someone who paid fairly close attention to Fetterman’s career since he was the mayor of Braddock, I want to say the following: Unless he had us all fooled for years and years, I’m certain the stroke destroyed his brain.

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

The large clinical trial of a new Covid vaccine pill (not shot) was halted by RFK Jr www.aol.com/multimillion... The Covid nasal vaccines may be next up to be axed.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

"Don’t speak out. Don’t stand up. Don’t apply your principles consistently. Just go along with the party and you’ll keep your job. This is a dereliction of duty by a Senate required under the Constitution."

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

"Mills is not willing to forgo the legally protected rights of one marginalized group...'But do not be misled: This is about whether a president can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation.'” mainemorningstar.com/2025/02/24/g...

In a dramatic shift in transatlantic relations under Trump, the US split with its European allies by refusing to blame Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in votes on three UN resolutions Monday seeking an end to the three-year war.

Gen. CQ Brown is one of the most forward-thinking, intelligent, and impressive officers I've ever met - that’s not a partisan opinion. Removing him with no justification bc Trump hopes the new person is a MAGA loyalist is yet another example of POTUS's dangerous intent to politicize the military.

The look on the face of Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, says it all when Donald Trump starts babbling about a minerals deal with Ukraine. Donald is a global embarrassment.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

In the UN vote today on Russian aggression, Trump's America sided with Russia, North Korea and Belarus in defending Putin's war. The U.S. was not even as independent-minded as Cuba and Iran, both of which abstained. In the world's fight for liberty, I fear the U.S. has just switched sides.

“Musk is causing people to turn on Trump. Political gravity is real, and Elon Musk is a gravitational wave of karma that is finally pulling Trump back to political accountability.” — Robert Hubbell (Feb. 24, 2025).
