This weeks cover from @theneweuropean.bsky.social was spot on as always

🇪🇺 EU chief diplomat: The free world needs a new leader, and today that became clear

When you've lost Karl Rove.

“Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.” —Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

America, This is our Germany 1933 moment. Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond. This is beyond party, beyond country. This is about our collective humanity. #Ukraine

Just posted by President Zelenskyy

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

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.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Says it all.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

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-...

For a "pro-life" party to propose massive cuts to Medicaid is hypocritical. In Speaker Johnson's home state of Louisiana, 60% of births are financed by Medicaid. Ht @justfairtruth.bsky.social

"I gotta be honest with you, I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.” — JD Vance (February 2022)

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.

Hakeem Jeffries is 💯correct....

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.

Trump doesn't know what year the Russia-Ukraine war started

🚨 BREAKING: European leaders rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance subjected him to a tirade of withering and infantilizing abuse in the Oval Office. Full story:

In a meeting, staged by and for the Kremlin, Trump today proved he is truly the useful idiot for Russia that we all suspected. He is breaking America for the benefit of Russia. We are under attack terrorist attack and he and Vance are leading it.

EU foreign policy chief: “.. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader.” @kajakallas.bsky.social

wrong as usual CNN and stop with the false equivalence. it was not a “shouting match.” it was a one-way ambush. there were no two sides to it as your headline infers. you are the worst, cnn, and part of the problem. that headline was like state-sponsored TV. shouting match. GTFO

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

President Zelenskyy is a class act.

watch Marco Rubio in this clip

“Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.”

1️⃣ I absolutely cannot with this garbage 2️⃣ They do not get to rewrite history. The whole word was watching it happen on live TV ya fuckin RWNJs 3️⃣ It is definitely bald-faced lie. Bold faced is for ppl who cannot be bothered to look it up 4️⃣ Thank you for coming to my TimTalk 〰️AdminJenn 🇺🇦🌻💙

As a kid watching Red Dawn in the 80s, I definitely though the Russian takeover of the US would involve at least *some* tanks

In a world of filled with JD Vances, be a Zelensky.

There were certainly signs

An embarrassed Vance lashed out because Zelenskyy rightly told him Putin has shown he can’t be trusted to respect a cease fire or peace deal — and pointed out Vance has never set foot in Ukraine.

JD Vance is embarrassingly unqualified to sit at the table for any kind of diplomacy
