The world sees it. Why can’t the weak and complacent GOP see it?!

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge GRANTS Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger's lawsuit to block his firing. This sets up a potential landmark case involving presidential power for the DC Circuit and Supreme Court. Visit Democracy Docket to stay informed on this and all the key cases. www.democracydocket.com

The lawsuit, filed by Elias Law Group on behalf of the three national Democratic committees, challenges an expansive executive order Trump issued earlier this month that would give him unprecedented power over key regulatory agencies that were designed to operate without direct White House control.

A lot of people are going to die from this

Yup!

It took the leader of Ukraine to stand up to Trump, when not a single Republican in Congress has had the spine to do it. I’m embarrassed for my country.

We finally fixed illegal immigration (nobody wants to come here anymore)

My son called yesterday: A signed a contract with the Abu Dabi Int. Arts Festival for his “Tessaract” piece was abruptly cancelled. $21,000 out of pocket & can’t recoup. Probably more coming for artists not fully recovered from COVID. It is abrupt/crude that the Feds are not honoring commitments.

i'm on bluesky for the scientific community

When Norway tells you to F-off…

The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;

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

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

WATCH: “Not even an hour!” KANSAS Rep. Roger Marshall leaves his own town hall after voters on both sides of the aisle express concern about veterans being fired from their federal worker jobs.

It begins. Norwegian petroleum giant Haltbakk Bunkers has declared it will NO LONGER HELP THE US NAVY. A petrol giant in Norway has announced a ban on fuel sales to all US forces following Donald Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, it has been reported.

NEW: The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts without the careful review it described in court. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social

If Trump withholds funding after that meeting, money that the Congress already appropriated, it would be a repeat of the first impeachment. apnews.com/article/zele...

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “The scene at the White House yesterday took my breath away. I would never have believed that we would ever have to defend Ukraine from the United States.”

Trump’s ‘bald power grab’ could set US on path to dictatorship, critics fear Little-noticed order that gives US president powers far beyond mere oversight denounced as ‘breathtaking’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

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

We've been annexed by Russia. Today, everyone got to see it.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

Gee…

I am ashamed to be an American today. I stand with Ukraine. I stand with Canada. I stand with Panama. I stand with Greenland. I stand with Europe.

Trump says President Zelensky should be nicer to Vladimir Putin: “He doesn’t have to stand there and say ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all negative things. He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace, I don’t want to fight any longer.’” (It’s clear that Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin.)

Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
