4 in 5 Americans support raising taxes on the rich — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by slashing funding for nursing homes and school lunches.

🇪🇺✈️ A European air force of 120 fighter jets could secure Ukraine’s skies from Russian attacks without escalating the war, say military experts. The proposed Sky Shield would be EU-led, separate from NATO, and protect Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv & nuclear plants. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

🇨🇳 China’s envoy to the EU, Lu Shaye, says he is “appalled” by Trump’s treatment of Europe, calling it “brazen and domineering.” He also stressed that a Ukraine peace deal should not be decided solely by the U.S. and Russia. www.scmp.com/news/china/d...

"He talked a lot about taking care of the military, taking care of the veterans, taking care of the people that put him in office and it just hasn't happened so if I could go back in time I would have voted for VP Harris in a heartbeat," Jay S., laid off from the IRS, tells @nbcphiladelphia.com:

Sanctions work. Russia’s diamond giant Alrosa just reported $1 billion in LOSSES last year. World’s largest diamond producer has $1.3 billion in unsold stock, marking a 78% decline in net profit compared to the previous year. www.kyivpost.com/post/48246

Every American I’ve heard from is embarrassed, including a lot of veterans, by this draft-dodging commander in chief who wants to sell us out to Putin and be Putin’s puppet.

“NEVER has an American president lectured the leader of an ally in public like this, much less the leader of a country that is fighting off invader” — New York Times correspondent, Peter Baker

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk supported Ukrainians.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

Both Putin’s bitch and his couch-fucking minion are traitorous bastards who aren’t good enough to kiss President Zelenskyy’s feet. 👣

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

BREAKING: Dems torch Trump after his jaw-dropping, disgraceful shouting match with Zelensky in an Oval Office meeting that will go down in the history books. This is an all-time low for the United States of America... And I'm embarrassed to be an American! www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine — US Senator Adam Schiff

"Ukraine, Spain stands with you." - Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expresses his support and solidarity with Ukraine following the recent clash between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky.

After the heated exchange at the White House and intense pressure from Trump and Vance, key leaders have spoken out, including Germany's CDU deputy leader, who said, "Europe will not betray Ukraine. How can anyone strike the back of a president from an occupied country?"

"Dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone," Polish Prime Minister Tusk said after Zelensky's conversation with Donald Trump.

House Republicans just took the first step towards passing their plans to cut health care and hike the cost of groceries for millions of people. Why? To pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. Working people won't forget this. We need to fight back.

Empty promises? Security guarantees in the US-Ukraine deal are vague and lack concrete commitments from Washington on Ukraine’s security, The New York Times writes. www.nytimes.com/article/ukra...

Destruction of Russian equipment and personnel in the Kursk region by Ukraine's SSO. Results: 6 armored vehicles, 2 tanks, communication equipment and 40 Russian soldiers of which 35 killed. t.me/noel_reports...

Important: A *Republican* Congressman, Austin Scott, just wrote to Marco Rubio urging him to address the problems I reported on below that are putting lifesaving treatment for severely malnourished children abroad at risk. He joins Dem Rep Seth Magaziner. Horrific stuff:

🇮🇪 Ireland will donate Giraffe Mark IV air defense radar systems to Ukraine. Minister Simon Harris says supporting Ukraine is "a necessity, not a choice." Ireland reaffirms solidarity as Ukraine faces unjustified U.S. pressure to negotiate with Russia. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

⚡️The EU paid 21.9 billion euros for Russian fossil fuel imports in the third year of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, exceeding the 18.8 billion euros in financial aid sent to Ukraine that year, according to a new report by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air published on Feb. 24.

"Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism by Ukrainians. Proud of Ukraine! Thank you to everyone who defends and supports it, to all who work for our country. Eternal memory to those who gave their lives for our state and our people" President Zelensky

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

Zelenskyy: “I’m ready to step down if it brings peace—or trade my post for NATO.” He urges Trump to direct his strength against Russia and calls for talks with Ukraine, the U.S., Europe, and Russia. On aid: “We’ve received $100B, not $350B. I won’t sign deals that burden 10 generations.”

⚡️Ukraine expects further F-16 deliveries from the Netherlands, Zelensky says. Following his meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof at the Munich Security Conference, President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that bolstering Ukraine’s air defenses remains a top priority.

To whip the European defense industry into shape, Brussels has appointed veteran Lithuanian politician Andrius Kubilius as its first-ever defense commissioner. The Kyiv Independent sat down with Commissioner Kubilius to ask whether the EU is ready to step up in the light of recent shifts in the U.S.

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

Accurate

Hegseth’s biography is on the left, General Brown’s on the right. Go read these to someone without telling them who they are and then ask them to choose who is better qualified to hold the positions of SECDEF and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

Europe must ban Russian LNG now — before Trump turns sanctions into a bargaining chip, writes Razom We Stand Executive Director Svitlana Romanko in her op-ed.
