The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what we're going to see is the conservative numbers in Canada drop because people are looking at the destruction that Trump is unleashing and Canadians are thinking, 'If this is what MAGA looks like, there's no damn way we're going to vote for it in Canada.'

Auchincloss: Trump doesn’t have to face the voters again, so I understand what he's doing. He's trying to hook up all these billionaires who invested in his campaign. He owes them, but for the life of me, I can’t understand why Republicans are allowing Trump to frog-march them off the gangplank.

CNN: What is your reaction to Lindsey Graham would have to change his point of view or step down? Rudik: With all due respect, we elect our own presidents. It’s not up to Russian presidents, American presidents, or Americans officials to tell the Ukrainian people who should be our president

Bolton: This is number one, not the kind of discussion you have in public. Trump could have cut it off at any point. Which leads, I think, people to speculate maybe this is what he wanted.

Kinzinger: No foreign leader should come and bow to the president. They lead a foreign country. Especially a foreign leader that’s in the middle of a war. For the morale of his people, he has to stand strong for Ukraine. If he comes here a grovels to a toddler..

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald… you’ve have made America sign up with Russia... At one point, that would have been considered the act of a traitor. How do you defend this betrayal of your allies to the American people? If you think Canada is going to break right now, you’re in for a big shock.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.
