If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

Trump & Vance tried to humiliate Ukraine. And ended up humiliating America.

Trump & Vance planned this Live attack with prepared Russian talking points thinking they would humiliate Pres. Zelensky. Instead, Trump & Vance brought disgrace and shame to the U.S., and themselves. The world stands with President Zelensky! #StandWithUkraine www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

Every decent American should be embarrassed and ashamed today.

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.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are Russian assets. Pass it on!

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I am calling on people from across Canada to join the national Amazon boycott. Against the union busting. Against oligarchs. Against the MAGA Trump-Bezos gang. If Jeff Bezos is going to walk away on Canada, let's walk away on him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKLf...

PM keeps saying cutting aid budget was a “hard decision”. Rubbish, it was an easy cowardly decision - those feeling impacts are 1000s of miles away & won’t trouble him. A harder decision might have been to stand up to vested interests who oppose a wealth tax - but it would’ve been right thing to do

Just heard Radio 1 news item on BP's decision to scrap renewables targets, which inserted "scientists say" into statement that fossils fuels cause climate warming. I don't think BBC is helping public understanding by treating this as a claim that needs qualifying, instead of basic repeatable fact.

This week, the trial opens for a lawsuit brought by oil giant Energy Transfer against @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social, which threatens to silence and potentially destroy the organization.

Next month it will be *seven* years since I last bought a book on Amazon and *six* since I bought anything else at all. Join me. It is liberating.

What I genuinely don’t understand. Bezos has more money than he‘ll ever be able to spend. But he can’t afford moral integrity?

Utterly shameful - a sickening betrayal of some of the poorest people. And counterproductive too - as if global security isn’t also dependent on efforts to tackle the climate crisis, global poverty, inequality, and humanitarian needs.

We’ve had over a decade of the worst politicians fawning over Putin and pushing policies that indirectly benefit the Kremlin, as a result we’ve had Brexit to destabilise the EU, Trump to destabilise the US, and an easily manipulated population loudly cheering their own surrender.

White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group. Alienating our friends and courting our enemies. This is straight out of Orwell.

Cold climate heat pumps work efficiently in the Okanagan and cost the same, or less, to install than gas heating systems. So why is Fortis doubling down on a new gas facility when we know it'll increase costs to residents and doesn't serve the public interest?

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

For eight decades, alliances have formed the bedrock of American foreign, trade and cultural policy. But not any more. Europeans, but also America's Asian allies, need to accept this new world, and learn how to live in it. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I don't see Trump demanding elections in Russia. ...ironically one year, almost to the day, after Alexei Navalny's murder.

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

Elon Musk thinks he can threaten Canadian workers?    Poilievre is a billionaire bootlicker who won’t stand up to him.    I will.    New Democrats will hit him hard with a 100% Tariff on Tesla – intended to hit him where it hurts.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Putin can end the fighting anytime he wants. He just needs to take his nasty little pockmarked fascist arse and carry it back to Russia where it fucking belongs.
