Trump and musk plan to fire 83,000 from the department of veterans affairs. Remember all those times the GOP said we couldn’t care for refugees because we needed to take care of our veterans first? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hi All, Just sent out a piece about a great failure of strategic leadership. European leaders failed to see Trump for what he is, but instead tried to make him what they wanted him to be. Thankfully, Ukrainian resistance has given them valuable time to make this up open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The one thing that financial and product markets around the world can be certain of, thanks to Donald Trump, is greater uncertainty. We’ll see how that goes.

Wait till the White House starts directing the Marshals Service not to protect judges who rule against the Administration. I’d bet good money that’ll happen at some point.

Just to be clear and so there can be no more denial. 1) The USA is now the enemy of Ukrainian Freedom 2) The USA is now the enemy of European Freedom 3) Anyone who supports Trump supports this 4) Europe alone will have to support Ukraine

Well Europe, time to take a deep breath, hitch up your pants, roll up your sleeves, and do everything you can to help Ukraine. No one else will. Its not only their freedom on the line--its yours too.

Really important article in @foreignaffairs.com by former Ukrainian Defense Secretary Andriy Zagorodnyuk. Its about how Ukraine can fight on effectively without any US aid. It’s key to understand that Trump is full of BS when he says Ukraine has "no cards". www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/ukra...

I understand the desire for Dems to fight — I really do — but I would also argue that one of the best things Democrats did in Trump’s first term was remind the American people that not everyone is fucking crazy, that there is a sane party out there. What would you like to see Dems do differently?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I have no idea what Trump’s relationship is with the Russian government. However if the Russians were able to place an agent at the top of the US government, that agent would be hard pressed to do more damage to US society and international relationships than Trump is doing now.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

Had Donald Trump been elected president 80 years ago, he would have ordered American troops to do a 180 on the Rhine and to attack the British, Canadians, and French with the help of what remained of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS.

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

I already said that I felt Trump and Vance sabotaged Zelenskyy's visit on purpose so they could use it as an excuse for why they are Russian loyalists. Need further proof? This order was given BEFORE the Oval office debacle; they never intended to finish these "peace talks.":
