Trump is a bully like no other. “And if we’re out, you’ll fight it out and I don’t think it’s going to be pretty … But you’re not acting at all thankful, and that’s not a nice thing.” -- Trump to Zelenskyy 2/28/25.

"But Trump, a profile in courage who dodged military service in Vietnam because of alleged bone spurs and who hid in the White House during the 6 January 2021 riot... He was impeached for trying to strong-arm Zelenskyy..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is EVERYTHING the civilian pukes in the White House wish they were: masculine, powerful and charismatic. They hate him because his presence reveals their cosplay. Zelenskyy will go down as one of the great heroic figures of the 21st century

Can you imagine Trump speaking 3 languages fluently? Now can you imagine him bravely defending our country from a violent invasion? Now can you imagine him flying to an ally and speaking in their language to say Thank you?

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Now we recall that Trump tried to extort Zelenskyy for info on Biden’s son — and was impeached for it. Trump is disgrace.

VFW has traditionally been a conservative-leaning VSO. This coming from them is unprecedented. 30% of all federal employees are vets. And the more Trump and Musk fire, the larger and more powerful the resistance to them will be. www.vfw.org/media-and-ev...

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, Nixon voters looked so damn stupid. I could not imagine how anyone ever supported him, let alone for a second term.

Let it be said. Our government and the people who work for it are not a waste or a fraud. They are a modern goddamn miracle. If Elon Musk doesn’t like a government that serves all the people, he is welcome to build a time travel machine and return to Apartheid South Africa. the.ink/p/government...

Incredible that it comes to this; just to get the US Government to pay its bills and fulfill contract terms. I doubt they can do it, since they've literally fired most of the workforce that could execute and operate the system.

The president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles is now US attorney of Washington, DC. What a joke.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

"This is not a conflict #Ukraine wanted, provoked or asked for in any way...This is a war started for one reason and one reason only: Russia's desire to erase Ukrainian history and expand their empire." -- Canada's Justin Trudeau www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Today, I hosted a seniors-focused town hall in Downers Grove. Throughout the meeting, we discussed the impacts of the Trump Administration and what I’m doing to stop Republican attempts to cut Social Security and Medicaid.

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years. The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

It is almost impossible to explain the sheer insanity of Elon Musk apparently having the capability to email the entire federal government evidently without getting approval from anyone—and, apparently, against the wishes of most Cabinet departments.

Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska) told constituents that there was nothing he could do to stop DOGE layoffs affecting people in his state. Says said he found out about budget cuts impacting Alaska "on Twitter" and "had no idea these things were going on" in advance. popular.info/p/freshman-c...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

Coal would have died so long ago - to the benefit of our environment and our wallets - if energy regulators didn't keep forcing taxpayers and ratepayers to prop up their failures. Mediocre companies fear competitive markets but if you let them work consumers win. www.cleveland.com/open/2025/02...
