Yesterday: Lithuanians lined the streets to honor the 4 fallen U.S. soldiers Today: Trump went to a LIV golf dinner reception instead of being present for their dignified transfer at Dover

This was….five months ago

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

Full page ad in today’s NYT by Christy Walton, an heiress to Walmart: “Headlined “USA, USA, USA,” the ad shows an image of the Statue of Liberty at sunset alongside eight declarations, including “we respect our neighbors and trading partners” and “we defend against aggression by dictators.””

Donald Trump has betrayed America's farmers. Because of Trump many are facing financial catastrophes. Trump froze farmer's funding and broke their contracts. Now they're mad–rightfully so. See what farmers in Wisconsin, Kansas, Kentucky, and elsewhere are saying about Trump abandoning them 🧵⤵️

“No Other Land” won the Oscar for best documentary. The movie, directed by two Israelis and two Palestinians, chronicles the Israeli military’s efforts to demolish Palestinian homes in an area of the southern West Bank known as Masafer Yatta.

New EO to promote timber production on FS and BLM-with FWS implications related to the Endangered Species Act and NEPA.. (b) Within 60 days…the FWS…shall complete a strategy on USFS and BLM forest management projects under section 7 of the ESA to improve the speed of approving forestry projects.

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites. Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

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.

Each day of Donald Trump’s second term is “its own fresh hell,” David Remnick writes, “bringing ever more outrageous news from an autocrat who revels in his contempt for the government he leads, for the foreign allies who deserve our support, and for the Constitution he is sworn to uphold.”

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

Yes

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responds, something we hopefully see a lot more of that from other European leaders. It's never been clearer than in this moment that Trump is Putin's ally, not Europe's.

"Putin went through a hell of a lot with me." ~Donald Trump

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

The most shocking display by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office against Zelensky. It had the look of an ambush.

Let it all come out. There will be a reckoning. Zelensky is a hero.

Reporter: Migrants who were in Guantanamo Bay say they were shackled and placed in cages and say they were not treated as human beings. Any response to those conditions? Leavitt: It’s a promise the President campaigned on

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
