Yaaaaaassssssss!!!! Senator Ron Wyden isn't going to be attending Donald Trump's joint session of Congress tomorrow. Instead, he will be holding his own town hall. More Democrats need to do this! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

27% of Donald Trump’s days in office spent golfing? This guy is a joke.

submitted 2 days ago • 326 comments

As we wake up this morning, one guy is golfing in Mar A Lago, another guy is on vacation skiing in VT, and then the only guy who is working to defend Ukraine, America, Democracy, and freedom is today meeting with European leaders before going back to a war zone. Zelenskyy is a hero.

If the Democrats had any sense at all, they would leave DC en mass on Tuesday and go home to their local communities and work from there.... Talk to constituents etc...

Europe and Canada should ban X immediately. It's Putin's propaganda and an existential threat to democracy globally. They should also put tariffs on anything Edolf sells.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

Leader Jeffries... I need you to call Trump a "bitch" on national tv... it's literally the only way you'll get Democrats back... diplomacy isn't the way. These are unprecedented times.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”
