Now that Trump has begun cutting Europe (especially Ukraine) off from intelligence sharing, Europe can dedicate far more energy to figuring out how Russia got Trump to capitulate. Since all his OTHER bribery is in plain sight, I suspect any RU bribery is lurking just below the surface.

Ugh.

He malfunctioned again…

Senator Elissa Slotkin: Grocery and home prices are going up, not down. Trump hasn't laid out a credible plan to deal with either of those. His tariffs will start a trade war that will hurt manufacturing and farmers

FINALLY one western nation is acting to root out Russian interference. Romania's investigations into Pro-Russian candidate Georgescu reveal another puppet of the Putin regime. $10,000,000 in cash, trips back and forth to Moscow, all the usual. Why can't other nations get serious about Russians?

THREAD. Thank you @jessicacalarco.bsky.social.

This story is WOW: A New Missouri Bill Would Let Residents Donate to Anti-Abortion Centers Instead of Paying Any State Taxes @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Absolutely stunning. Trump to Chief Justice Roberts: "Thank you again. Thank you again. I won't forget."

Marjorie Trailer Greene is concerned with decorum all of a sudden. 🥴

China has announced its tariff retaliation—15% tariffs on US chicken, wheat, corn & cotton, plus a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, & dairy products. Blue or red state, your grocery bill just raised. Wonder who Trump will blame this trade war on?

Holy shit, that’s bad. Makes sense why they’re trying to exclude government spending to GDP to fudge the numbers.

They insulted, patronized & threatened him.Then when Zelenskyy didn't say "thank you" they cut off military aid to Ukraine. When will Republicans stop being cowards & remember that the Constitution says Congress is supposed to provide checks & balances to these bullies? apnews.com/article/trum...

BREAKING: The United States is in multiple trade wars on multiple fronts, Ontario threatens to cut off electricity exports, Putin will help Trump negotiate with Iran, and Trump goes after protestors on campuses. All the news you missed: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Happy Tuesday

I sincerely think that the "attention to this matter" kicker is a function of his seeing his lawyers write that on letters for years and he thinks it makes it sound more legal-y.

Please, Canada -- CUT OFF OUR POWER the moment Traitor Trump is announced tonight for his address to Congress! The world is with you!!! ROOKIE MOVE: China and Canada immediately retaliate against Trump’s tariffs www.cnn.com/2025/03/04/e...

“It was a dark week, but I end it knowing that Trump is weaker than he appears right now, and our movement stronger. Rs need to feel and hear us this week, and we must keep fighting to prevent them from doing even more harm to this remarkable nation." 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/sunday-hop...

This is one of the most alarming things they've done, but it seems to have been mostly overlooked because of all the other alarming things they've done.

"People *are* doing things. You will meet those people when *you* start doing things."

The media asking Zelenskyy if he wants to apologize to Trump is everything wrong with the media. They should be asking if Trump wants to apologize to Zelenskyy. Most Americans are humiliated at the trash behavior by Trump and JD in the Oval.

Is this true?

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged more military aid, as well as the possibility of weapons and boots on the ground, to secure peace in Ukraine.

Democrats should make sure as many people see this as possible: that Trump's #1 adviser wants to destroy Social Security. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

The King is still meeting Ukraine’s President Zelensky in the saloon at Sandringham House this evening. The president had requested the meeting and the monarch, a supporter of Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression, agreed on UK government advice. Photos from PA.

I agree with Parker here: a significant chunk (if not most) of the leopards-eating-faces stories we are seeing right now are better framed as "the mainstream media knowingly misled their readers/viewers by covering Trump's obviously false campaign statements as though he weren't a pathological liar

Y’all, Doug Jones is with us on BlueSky and he has some advice for Democrats in DC. Watch and give him a follow. “Go to where people are. Have testimony from folks being affected by these cuts …all politics is personal and how it affects individual people.” @dougjones.bsky.social

Would anyone have believed 20 years ago an American president would aid Vladimir Putin in restoring the Russian Empire?

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

If the UK’s immigration rules mean what they say, Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to enter the country, let alone for a state visit ….

⚡️ Norwegian fuel supplier halts sales to US Navy over Trump-Zelensky dispute, citing 'moral compass.'

Senator Murkowski has proven that she needn’t fear Trump When up for reelection, she defeated a MAGA-backed challenger Begging the question If she’s so disgusted by his betrayal of US democracy And other GOP-like Lindsey Graham-who capitulate so easily Why not switch parties Become a Democrat

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

. @dougjones.bsky.social weighs in on the Oval Office ambush 🔥 “The President has made the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of this planet….look weak…run by a couple of junior high school kids who would rather argue in a locker room than discuss…peace & security.”

Zelensky is now the leader of the free world.

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

Seems like a pretty important detail

⚡️Russia, China seek to recruit fired US federal employees, CNN reports. Russia and China are attempting to recruit U.S. federal employees working in national security who were impacted by the Trump administration's layoffs, CNN reported on March 1.

IF there is ANY silver lining in what happened in the Oval Office on Friday… it’s that the free world has become united. In supporting Zelenskyy.

Here’s how the $300B in Russian sovereign funds frozen in Europe can still be used to give Zelensky the cards Trump told him he didn’t have in that vomitous Oval Office display by Putin’s puppets, our president and his agent provocateur Vance www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“This is going to be a massive loss of life overall. Children are likely already dying, and will clearly be dying in large numbers.” -former USAID official @agawande.bsky.social, to me, in this piece. Lots more like that in here:

Anger is mounting: 300 constituents rallied in Mount Kisco, NY today to protest GOP Rep. Mike Lawler for hiding from his constituents after voting for a House budget that slashes Medicaid.
