In response, the White House issued a statement saying its announcement today is a direct challenge to the independence of a free press in the United States

Trump now says his "peace deal" between Russia and Ukraine may not work out. So much for the 24 hours he promised. Vote for a clown, expect a circus. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Hiding from the public sounds like a great 2026 re-election strategy for Republicans DEMAND A TOWN HALL FROM YOUR GOP CONGRESSMAN

Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

Elon Musk’s team posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts. Now it has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

In Opinion “Let’s be clear: Shrinking the IRS will not lower your tax obligation,” a group of former IRS commissioners writes. “Aggressive reductions in the IRS’s resources will only render our government less effective and less efficient.”

⚡️ The UN General Assembly backed a resolution initiated by Ukraine & European nations—opposed by the U.S., Russia, Hungary, Israel & Belarus. Meanwhile, the UN also passed a U.S.-led resolution with Russian amendments, rebranding the war as a "conflict." 89 voted in favor, 8 against, 70 abstained.

For Trump, it's all and only about money. He stressed that the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal is about getting America’s money back, calling it an “Economic Partnership” to recoup billions sent to Ukraine. He also hints at economic deals with Russia as part of his push to end the war.

“Fraud” is a crime. We’re still waiting for all the arrests. ⏰ www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Former US Vice President Mike Pence calls out Trump on Ukraine: "Mr. President, Ukraine did not ‘start’ this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The road to peace must be built on the truth."

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

SCOOP: The Trump administration has fired federal officials who screen people, animals and plants at our borders for dangerous pathogens www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/h...

Interesting data in light of current events. More about welfare queen Elon Musk: www.profgalloway.com/elon-musk-we...

🇺🇸 CNN poll shows just 8% of Americans view Russia positively—on par with those who think the moon landing was fake. 61% see Russia as an enemy, and only 4% as a partner. Only 9% like Putin, with the same percentage believing the Earth is flat. 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Money talks

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"The speech was silly and immature" Lord Sumption tells BBC Newsnight what he made of US Vice President J D Vance's appearance at the Munich Security Conference yesterday. #Newsnight

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending. The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs. Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It's reverse Robin Hood.

The Trump regime is not the legitimate government of the US; Musk is not an elected official. This is a coup d'état enabled by inaction and secret (not so secret) interests (corruption) among the officials entrusted to protect the country. When all levels of protection fail, there is only you left.

Zelensky's speech at the Munich Security Conference ended with prolonged applause!

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

By tearing up long standing treaties and agreements America has lost the trust of its allies. Who would ever trust America to keep its word ever again? Why would any other nation keep their promises with America?

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

After SecDef Hegseth's comments on Ukraine and reporting on Trump's call with Putin, one thing is clear: This Administration is ready and willing to throw Ukraine under the Bus. At Country First, we stand with Ukraine. www.country1st.com/ukraine

Breaking News: Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney resigned after she was ordered by the Justice Department to drop a corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams that she had championed.

“Making concessions at the outset to somebody like Vladimir Putin, who is the combination of a street thug, a bully and a coward, is not really good tactics.” H. R. McMaster, Trump’s National Security Advisor 2017-18, discusses the President’s approach to Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. #Newsnight

🇺🇸 Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton slammed President Trump’s call with Putin, saying he "effectively surrendered" to the Russian leader. "Putin couldn’t be happier. They’re drinking vodka straight from the bottle in the Kremlin. A big day for Moscow," Bolton told CNN.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

President Donald Trump has said Palestinians would have no right of return to Gaza under his US takeover plan, describing his proposal in excerpts of an interview released Monday, as a "real estate development for the future." https://u.afp.com/S4by

For a quick sugar high to “own the libs,” the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldn’t be reversed for a generation. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

I’m guessing the thing about treasuries is them not understanding how the social security and Medicare trust funds work. It is internal debt for the government. Anyone who understands anything about the us debt knows how this works. But I’m guessing they don’t.

“It maps almost too neatly to his acquisition of Twitter in 2022: Get rid of most of the workforce. Install loyalists. Rip up safeguards. Remake in your own image… This is the way of the startup.” @wired.com

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

President Trump’s executive order freezing most U.S. foreign aid for 90 days has thrown into turmoil programs that fight starvation and deadly diseases, run clinical trials and seek to provide shelter for millions of displaced people. Here’s what to know.
