How far Marco has fallen. Bottom feeder, spineless The new Reek of the current regime

New York Times, Jan. 26, 1935.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

“DO YOUR JOB!” TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

At what point is dereliction of duty an impeachable crime? Asking for 73 million Americans.

Spineless Trump sycophant and Putin apologist Marco Rubio terminated U.S. support for restoring Ukraine's energy grid moments after President Zelenskyy was kicked out of the White House. Shameless. Despicable. Cowardly.

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

putin’s Poodle has betrayed our country and our democratic allies.

Opt out tomorrow!

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

How dare Ukraine invade itself using poor innocent Russian soldiers

DOGE quietly deleted the 5 biggest spending cuts it celebrated last week: * An $8 billion cut at ICE was actually $8 million * Three $655 million cuts at USAID were actually a single cut counted three times * A $232 million cut at the SSA was actually $565,000 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

Some sound advice:

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

NEW: In a victory, the 9th Circuit upholds a ruling that blocked provisions of two Arizona laws seeking documentary proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections. The court called the challenged provisions “unlawful measures of voter suppression.”

😳 this dude ran the FSB [KGB]!

Hell NO

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.

They say “it’s complicated” — but Russia’s own tv hosts say their goal is to erase Ukraine. They don’t hide it.

No kings. No tyrants. Not now. Not ever.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

Putin’s Poodle

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

Buying WI supreme court just like he bought the US Presidency

Republicans have made clear they won’t hesitate to bleed health programs dry if it means they can shower more tax cuts on billionaires and big corporations. I will fight tooth and nail to stop them & protect the health care families rely on. Repost if you're with me.
