Now watching Trump yell at Zelensky. And Vance talk to him like he's a toddler. This is a shameful moment for United States diplomacy. It will be hard to recover from this.

In the first term people thought they could play nice to win him over, and when they realised they couldn't, it was close enough to the end of the term that they may as well just wait him out. Now everyone knows it's a waste of time and they've got at least 4 years of it, why bother playing nice?

It's infuriating to see Trump and Vance badgering Zelensky before the cameras. Two corrupt fascists abusing a democratic leader. I am ashamed of my country.

How Elon Musk planned for DOGE: Our investigation found that he raised the idea in 2023, becoming fixated on gaining insider access to federal systems. By Dec., he chose USDS as a landing place, and future DOGE members began applying for jobs there. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

The number of non-citizens on Social Security is 0. The cost of printing out this stupid Executive Order is greater than the money received by non-citizens on Social Security—which again is $0. He's distracting his MAGA base to steal $800B in Medicaid & give billionaires trillions in tax cuts.

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

I do think that some of the press strangling that the Administration is doing is trying to keep Trump away from actual journalists because he is more erratic and irrational than in his 1st term (see “Fat, bloated, and disgusting comment from yesterday). 🧵
