Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Shuttering the agency responsible for international assistance. Turning the government over to wealthy oligarchs motivated by economic self-interest. Telling all CIA officers they will be paid if they quit. China and Russia are winning so much they are getting tired of winning.

I’m getting thousands of calls. We’re trying to answer as many as we can/keep our voicemail inbox clear. Senate phones are having tech issues, but Minnesotans can still reach me below. There’s a lot happening. People are worried. I want to hear from you.

Remember we were so worried about TikTok getting our data that we banned it? Then we gave Elon Musk and his cronies access to Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, federal salaries, and other sensitive information.

Now is the time to defend our democracy. Its hard to resuscitate a democracy once it fails. Also i don’t believe he will leave after 4 years. Read Project 2025. My own hunch is that there will be a war with China and he will cite ‘wartime’ to legitimize another term. 🇺🇸

"I want to speak directly to Americans," says Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "This is a choice that will harm Canadians...but will have real consequences for you."

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us. I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year. 43 pounds.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

Right wing “Christians” are attacking bishops who call for mercy, defending or giving Nazi salutes, and giddily cheering for deportations, all while continuing to pretend that THEY are the ones who are being persecuted. Damn them all to Hell.
