This is not a summit, it’s a performance review.

Elon’s wealth has grown more than ALL the financial aid America has given Ukraine- JUST SINCE THE ELECTION. Thanks to you and me and our hard earned tax dollars. www.ukraineoversight.gov/Funding/#:~:....

When Trump said "They're eating the pets!", I wonder if that was unintentional prophecy about how Putin is eating him on the world stage, starting with Ukraine. Trump could have Putin over a barrel, but instead, he's acting like a new roller skater, showing only weak knees.

Reagan did the same thing. He removed all the solar panels that Carter had out on the roof of the White House... insideevs.com/news/751500/...

Yep

Why is Trump turning on Zelensky? 1. Z didn't sell him the mineral rights 2. No quick end to the war, and Trump bragged about how he could stop it in a day. Every day the war continues, is a day that makes Trump look weak. 1/2

Exactly 💯

Sign the petition to back Ukraine! 🇺🇦 They’ve fought for freedom and sovereignty against Russia’s unprovoked war. Meanwhile, China, Russia, Iran & North Korea threaten global stability. Tell Congress to stand firm—America must lead. #StandWithUkraine ujoin.co/campaigns/35...

Yep...

Thank you, Mike Pence

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

America is no longer the leader of the free world. Our materialism and prosperity has poisoned our nation's soul and allowed the highest bidder to steal our identity.

Leon's fallacy is in thinking money makes him right. Unfortunately, the opposite has increasingly happened.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Decent Americans stand with Ukraine.

Red states, get ready!

Is it me, or has she gone radio silent since the election...🤔

The seeds of tyranny have always been here, but now MAGA provides the fertile soil needed to grow.

Trump’s casual dismissal of Ukraine’s struggle, suggesting they “may be Russian some day”, reduces a nation’s existential fight against aggression to a financial transaction. Such rhetoric betrays democratic allies and emboldens authoritarian conquest.

Vance's speech was brilliant. It let all our allies in Europe know that the US is NO LONGER a reliable ally against authoritarianism, fascism, or just plain bad policy. The sooner Europe accepts this new reality, the sooner they can build a new alliance that defends democratic values collectively.

What she said.......

This is fascism.

Courage

If US demands Europe to take the lead in helping Ukraine, then guess what, US should NOT have the final say in whether or not Ukraine can join NATO. The new administration cannot have it both ways.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

And hearing what you say does not equate to listening to you, Mr Kellogg

There is a cult of ignorance in the US, & there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political & cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' ~Isaac Asimov

Then release the Taurus, now! Shift the calculus while you still can!

I'm shocked 😳
