AMANPOUR (with face in hands): “Never have I ever ever ever seen anything like it… the president and VP were taking all the Putin talking points.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGolFp-...

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

More class in his pinky than Trump has shown his entire life.

Says it all.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Brazen.

John Bolton: "The U.S. on one side with Russia and North Korea, while all our NATO allies are on the other side, is an embarrassment. Trump isn't playing multidimensional chess here, he's just getting it wrong" t.co/4CLuIjNX0w

president trump asked if china would be prevented from taking taiwan by force while he’s in office “i never comment on that.”

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Bankrupt? Republicans just advanced a budget that will add $4 trillion to the debt! They’re not preventing bankruptcy, they’re expediting it.

Reporter: Is it your view of your authority that you have the power to call up any one of the people seated at this table and issue orders that they‘re bound to follow? Trump: Oh, they'll follow the orders. Reporter: No exception? Trump: Of course no exceptions.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

Is the legacy media going to do anything? Or is this it?

So, breaking decades of precedent, Trump will handpick the reporters who can ask questions. He wants total control over what we see & read. Dictatorship www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b...

Apple shareholders just rejected a proposal to end DEI efforts Investors sided with Apple management, which called diversity "critical" to the company's success.

The former MSNBC host has blasted the network for axing multiple non-white anchors, referring to the cuts as a “racist purge.”

This seems bad

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

Big Balls”? I’m shocked.

The DC police last week sought to arrest a sitting member of Congress, a Florida Republican, for physically assaulting a woman in DC. But the US attorney’s office didn’t sign off on it. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

What an embarrassment and disgrace.

🚨BREAKING: SHOCKING BETRAYAL The United States just VOTED AGAINST a UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The resolution still passed, but America sided with Putin. This is beyond disgraceful. The US has abandoned its moral leadership and bowed to Russia. A dark day for democracy.

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, just demolished Donald Trump in the Oval Office while supporting Ukraine, wanting Russia to pay, and fact checking Donald during their meeting. 🍿

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan. Brilliant protest!

Noooo! @msnbc.com, don’t mess this up. The Weekend trio is 🔥—they keep it real & that’s what folks are looking for right now, but so does Joy Reid. She brings facts, truth & a perspective we can count on. We need that now more than ever. Real talk: replace Morning Joe instead. Viewers are over it.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Eggs are now so expensive they’re smuggling them like fentanyl.
