For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

When the PM visits the White House next week, he must challenge Trump on his Ukraine lies in the strongest possible terms. It's alarming to see the leader of the free world parroting Putin's propaganda. Trump spoke in Mar-a-Lago but his words could have been written in Moscow.

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

As well as the blatant lies told by Trump, it is galling that a bone-spur draft-dodger lectures a man who has set himself against a powerful invader and not flinched.

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

Cool new campaign ad from Make My Money Matter, which encourages people to ditch fossil-fuel funding banks. The group, founded by filmmaker Richard Curtis, "mounts further pressure on UK high-street banks – Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, Santander, and NatWest – to stop financing new fossil fuels"

Had a wonderful visit to Woodcroft Nursery School in Great Baddow. They’re doing an excellent job with SEN support. Despite EHCP assessment delays, the nursery is working hard to help families. It’s good to see their dedication to supporting every child. #SEND #SENDSupport #GreatBaddow #SENCO #EHCP

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I don't believe most (reasonable) people are looking to our democratic leaders for solutions in this moment but rather they are looking for hope. I have talked to thousands of people who are scared... and all are looking for assurance that we will be ok... EVENTUALLY. Its why I'm out here fighting

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.
