Sign of the day…

I missed Trump’s apology to Zelensky for calling him a dictator last week.

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News: ◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone. ◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

AMANPOUR (with face in hands): “Never have I ever ever ever seen anything like it… the president and VP were taking all the Putin talking points.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGolFp-...

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

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

After World War I, Germany had to fork over billions to cover damages. After World War II, Japan was forced to pay reparations. But with Ukraine, Trump is flipping history upside down by demanding that the invaded, not the invader, pay up. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

It was very very clearly an ambush

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are threatening the health care of 3.4 million Illinoisans to give tax breaks to the rich. People will be stripped of lifesaving care. People will die – and blood will be on their hands.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

"Military purges, when driven by politics rather than performance, almost always weaken a nation. A strong, independent, and professional military with nonpartisan leadership is not just an asset—it is a necessity for national security."

This seems interesting….

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

The night before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I wrote down what I thought would be Putin's strategic objectives and have been using it as a slide. Until today, I thought he had failed in dividing NATO. But it seems we're closer to that after today's oval office meeting.

Someone please tell me again about the “Russia hoax”

It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...

Not just you

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

2016: GOP dilutes party platform regarding aid to Ukraine under Trump 2019: Trump tries to withhold military aid until Zelensky “announces” an investigation into the Bidens 2025: Trump and Vance openly side with Putin It’s been the play the whole time, now it’s just out in the open

Kelly: “Our European allies are looking at this and thinking, what just happened? What happened to the United States of America that used to be the leader of the free world?”

Oh. My. God. Worse and worse!

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

“We’ve almost fully switched sides here” — Mark Kelly

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

How it started: How it’s going: Any questions?

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

My advice to federal #whistleblowers during Trump 2.0. Turn to experienced legal counsel including @wbaidlaw.bsky.social, which provides pro bono legal represention. www.washingtonian.com/2025/02/28/w...

what a day

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

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.
