No more work-from-home, government workers, except for Kash Patel, who will run the FBI from Las Vegas www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

The Trump presidency is deeply embarrassing. Today, he and JD Vance, went to new lows in attacking president Zelenskyy – a true war hero. Trump and Vance looked weak. Absent their positions they are weak. Today we witnessed way beyond Nixonian abuses of power. It was Hilterian.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

“European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: ‘Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.’”

“Bewildering”?? Seriously?? Perhaps the editorial writers at Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal should familiarize themselves with the propaganda broadcast on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel.

Zelensky didn't provoke Trump to take Russia's side. He was planning this all along. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

President Musk and his aide, Trump could care less.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

Yep.

THIS was a shake down. Pure and simple-a dramatic made-for-TV spectacle orchestrated by Trump and Vance for shits and giggles. But it backfired because Zelenskyy did not fold! #istandwithUkraine

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Insane - a correspondent asking Zelensky about not wearing a suit, yet Musk does it ALL the time! What a putz!!!

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

A disgraceful day.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Awkward…

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Gutting Alzheimer's research. First reported more than a week ago -- and as yet, this has not been undone. Republicans appear to have not said a word about it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru... See also... newrepublic.com/article/1917... See also... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Please, everyone stand up for America and stand up to tyrants!

What are they up to? Does anybody know the ultimate goal other than what appears to be destroying our country?

Right, because this is totally normal 🙄

That’s ridiculous! What a narcissist! Taking away crucial aid for others while he golfs and spray tans and wants even more adulation! He can’t seem to get enough!

This is corruption in plain sight. Musk is getting sweetheart deals for his companies, DOGE is helping him do it, and the President is cheering him on. This isn’t about government efficiency, but making him richer.

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention. When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.” This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

The latest congressional recess is over, but the demand for in-person action is stronger than ever. Tesla dealerships are prime locations for bold, high-visibility protests against the Trump-Musk coup. Events are already happening nationwide, with more planned every day. 👇

Not shocked the dweeb who ran a kidnapping-based canvassing program for Trump can't conceive of actual grassroots energy.

Looks like Elon Musk or his puppet Donald (aka POTUS) has told the Founding Fathers “You’re All FIRED!”

Are you a federal worker who has been impacted by the Trump administration's cost-cutting efforts? We want to hear from you for an upcoming story: bit.ly/43bT7D7

They said we were being hysterical for saying he would rule like a fascist.

And there it is. The real reason MAGA Republicans are falling over themselves to cut your health care. They'll give anything to their billionaire donors, and take everything from working people

97,000 people in my district are on Medicaid. Every single one of them is at risk of losing their health care because of the Republican budget plan.

I refuse to vote for yet another billionaire who will work with Trump & Elon Musk to try and dismantle the Department of Education. Republicans are pushing a pro-billionaire, anti-public school agenda. I voted NO to advance Linda McMahon's confirmation.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?
