So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Many low information voters are carrying on like normal. Working hard, loving their families, completely oblivious to the constitutional crisis playing out in Washington. Fox viewers are being told everything is going great! It’s just us activated, empathetic souls hyperventilating right now! 🤦🏼‍♂️🥴😳🇺🇸

Connolly: "Imagine lecturing Europeans about being afraid of their own electorate when it's Trump and Musk who are firing FBI agents because they dared to do their duty, who are having loyalty tests at the NSC...you're gonna lecture others about political tolerance of free speech? That's a bit much"

At Mar-a-Lago, a bizarre, golden-hoofed goat idol is on display. The idol is wrapped in Trump $100 bills that say, “In Trump we Trust,” replacing God with Trump. The idols’ base says, “I love you” along with Trump’s signature.

Musk is acting on the dystopian vision he shares with Thiel, Vance, and Curtis Yarvin—dismantling democracy for billionaire overlords. Gil Duran has tracked it for years, and Fred Wellman breaks it all down with him in a new On Democracy.

Trump's comments on Gaza and the Palestinians are way beyond irresponsible. They are also an invitation to a terrorist attack. With Kristi Noem in charge of Homeland Security I feel safe (sarcasm). If it does happen he will declare "Marshall" (MTG)Law and declare himself a hero.

Jeffries: The constitution requires the president has the responsibility to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Spending agreements passed through the appropriations process are law. When those laws are violated, the constitution has been violated.
