To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.

For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law. That’s an old diktat, usually attributed to an old Latin American dictator. But it could easily apply today, as cowardly Republicans beg President Donald Trump to spare them — and only them — from the DOGE chainsaw. wapo.st/4kfZ8o9

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

This Nancy Mace thing is going to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party. Mace is deliberately bullying another person, one of their colleagues. And if House Dems are too chickenshit to defend their own colleague over this open, blatant hate, what the hell is the point of them anymore.

AG: a man investigated for sex trafficking. Director of National Intelligence: a pro-Putin promoter of disinformation. HHS: an anti-science fraudster and conspiracy theorist. Secretary of Defense: a talk show host. Thank you, Trump voters. You’ve voted for all of this.
