"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

“I just could not believe what I was seeing. It's President Trump at his worst. President Trump as an ill-mannered bully insulting a war hero. This wasn't an Oval Office photo op. This was an ambush,” - Geraldo Rivera

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

I can't think of anything like that obscene spectacle in the history of modern diplomacy, not just a snide remark or even mutual hostility, but openly belittling and insulting a visiting head of state in public like that? Astonishingly beyond the pale to treat any country's representative like that.

My god. This is very bad.

Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He humiliated the United States of America. And he made the world a much more dangerous place. Mob boss foreign policy will not work. The Trump-Putin axis fully came out of the closet today.

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.

Trump & Vance make Nevill Chamberlain look good. What a terrible time we live in. Trump voters have put in place a pair that appear to Put Russia First, to be willing to make us a stupid & impoverished client-state in the Axis of Evil. It is disgusting.

Trump: You've allowed to be in a very bad position...You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. You're gambling with World War three. Vance: Have you said thank you once? Zelenskyy: A lot of times. Vance: Offer some words of appreciation for the US and [Trump]...

Let it all come out. There will be a reckoning. Zelensky is a hero.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

DJT to Zelenskyy: either sign the deal or we are out and you’re on our own. You get out and deal with this alone. You have no cards. Meetings is being taken off camera.

At least Zelenskyy tried but as I said Ukraine and the rest of Europe are on their own and need to tell the Kremlin owned Trump regime to go to hell. And Vance has been a vile Russian spewing propagandist

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Lovely to see Zelensky being the first being able to tell Trump some truth. Trump shows the liar and dictator he is.

Yam Tits and Couch Fucker just tried to strong arm Zelensky and he put their asses in place. There’s never been a two bigger sacks of shit in the Whitehouse as those two. Any world leader should refuse to meet or be seen with these two absolute pieces of shit.

"You've gotta be more thankful" -- remarkable scenes out of the White House as Trump and JD Vance team up to do Putin's bidding and demean Zelenskyy

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

I... Thought I had caught up on the terrible news, but missed this.

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT: tomorrow, February 28th, is the Economic Blackout. I ain’t buying shit. Plan ahead, but if you must buy essentials, use cash and support local businesses only. No corporate chains!

Please vaccinate your children against measles & other preventable diseases. We became great because of the Age of Reason, a respect for learning & the arts & science & a belief in the dignity of all. Don’t let ignorance & mysticism lead to misery & death.

Trump & Musk are lying—PEPFAR funding has not been restored. Millions of lives hang in the balance, including people cut off mid-HIV treatment. Fired workers & activists staged a “die-in” to protest this deadly betrayal. “What we are demanding of Congress is that they stop behaving like doormats…”

Say who did it: Kennedy did it. This is premeditated murder. Vaccine meeting to prepare for coming winter’s flu season canceled www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

“Trump’s transactional diplomacy sends a message to allies that the United States cannot be trusted to help its friends or honor its obligations. And it tells his adversaries that he is willing to give up long-term strategic interests for short-term wins…” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/w...

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

This is terrifying.

JUST IN: Kentucky confirms measles exposure at Planet Fitness in Frankfort. An infected adult who recently traveled to a measles outbreak area visited the gym while contagious.

The proposed Medicaid cuts are over 10 years, so about $90B per year, approximately 16% of the Medicaid budget (Medicaid/CHIPS was about $580B last year). The ACA Medicaid expansion is about 20% of the annual Medicaid budget. You can see where this is headed. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss....

There they go again, ripping away your health care in order to enrich MAGA Republican donors. Trump and Musk are DOUBLING DOWN with a scheme to add $4 TRILLION to the national debt — and GUT MEDICAID that 72 million Americans need — to give even bigger tax cuts to billionaires.

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

Murphy calls out the "Mar-a-Lago cabal" and says of the Republican spending plan, "you are taking about the most massive transfer of wealth and resources from poor people and the middle class to billionaires and corporations in the history of this country."

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group. Alienating our friends and courting our enemies. This is straight out of Orwell.

You know… Congress and the senate could always pass resolutions calling Russia the aggressor, supporting NATO and calling for a Ukraine victory. Just sayin…. Stop tweeting start forcing.

Illinois respects the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine — now and always.
 Three years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine without warning or provocation. Peace and freedom requires resistance to tyranny and oppression. 
 Slava Ukraini!

I didn't expect the fall of American Democracy to be so embarrassing.
