DO IT

Nearly 1,000 people signed a petition asking Thom Tillis for a town hall. His response? A generic email that doesn’t even mention the words “town hall.” Ignoring constituents isn’t leadership. SIGN THE PETITION TODAY: www.change.org/tillistownhall

This is very literally what precipitated the first impeachment

A THREAD on SOCIAL SECURITY, news articles (since the media is fixated on other things.) /1 **** Trump, Musk Ravage Social Security Administration With Cuts, Closures www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Per @politicalwire.com Trump Nat'l Security Advisor Mike Waltz said “What we need to hear from President Zelensky is that he has regret for what happened, he’s ready to sign this mineral deal & that he’s ready to engage in peace talks. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.” I certainly think it is.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Together with Rep. Luna and Rep. Pettersen, I am proud to co-lead a bipartisan effort to allow Members of Congress to proxy vote for 6 weeks after they or their spouse gives birth. Congress was designed by and for old men. It’s time we modernize.

The media asking Zelenskyy if he wants to apologize to Trump is everything wrong with the media. They should be asking if Trump wants to apologize to Zelenskyy. Most Americans are humiliated at the trash behavior by Trump and JD in the Oval.

Was anyone else physically affected by what happened in the Oval Office with Zelensky? I've never been so profoundly ashamed of my country, in all the years I've been alive. Talk about anxiety.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Holy smokes. The Mail, a staunchly RIGHT-WING newspaper in the UK, slammed”‘bully” Trump and called for his state visit to be cancelled. Trump is now the laughingstock of the entire world.

This is true and it makes the embarrassment at the White House all that much worse.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Zelenskyy chose to remain in Kyiv, leading his nation amidst immediate danger. Despite offers of evacuation, he famously declared, "I need ammunition, not a ride," showing his commitment to stand with his people during the crisis. 1/3

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Heads up, lawyers and law students. The @americanbar.org is stepping up. www.abajournal.com/web/article/...

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.

Kinzinger: Zelenskyy had an opportunity to flee Ukraine when Russia attacked and he stayed. Is there anybody that has any doubt about whether Trump would flee the country if we were attacked.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Hundreds of workers at the CDC. More than 1,000 at the NIH. Scores of staffers at the FDA. Trump’s purge of federal employees includes those doing lifesaving work. Many of them expressed fear at what would happen to the projects they left behind. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social & @deldeib.bsky.social

What a buffoon doling out performative right-wing trash. Zelenskyy is fighting a war against a dictator who bombs civilians and kidnaps children, and this guy thinks the big issue is that he doesn't wear a suit. How can you be so soulless?

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans changed “French fries” to “Freedom fries” because they thought France didn’t support “freedom” enough.

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.

We must have missed where the right wing media went after Elon for not wearing a suit

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

Trump got impeached after he got caught extorting Zelenskyy, trying to get him to conduct a sham investigation into Biden. Along with the obvious stuff, I think some of this comes down to personal animosity as well.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

Why don’t you wear a suit?

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

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I am so embarrassed of my country.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Trump and JD Vance trash Ukrainian leader Zelensky today in the White House for one reason: To make their boss Vladimir Putin happy. Trump and Vance are both traitors to our nation and American values.

Jesus, Trump and JD Vance playing bad cop-bad cop with Zelensky is stomach churning here.
