A fact check on Trump’s recent statements regarding the Ukraine’s president. I wonder if a committed liar tries to convince themselves they’re a master of the mind. Or maybe they’re just talking to those who will listen? Call them on their bullshit. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

I hear that some republicans in the senate and Congress might be breaking with Trump over the reversal on the Ukraine conflict. I sincerely hope these parties can join the rest of rational society and start helping to fight this madness.

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

Trump's latest executive order puts independent agencies — including the FTC, SEC, and NLRB — under his direct control. It's a blatant attempt to shield his corporate donors and his own business from agencies that hold the powerful accountable. This is an alarming power-grab.

These current political conversations are a case study in how deeply someone can lie to themselves and others. I mean.. they’re just the other human beings inhabiting the earth with you. Surely there isn’t a negative consequence for treating them all like idiots..

Trump is flagrantly violating the law by freezing funding that Congress appropriated—causing real damage & chaos. I pressed Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee if she would commit to simply following the law. Watch her response.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

I voted NO to confirm Howard Lutnick. I am not going to confirm ANOTHER billionaire to the cabinet who will just enable the most corrupt illegal power grab this country has ever seen. This is the most pro-billionaire, anti-middle class administration in history.

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.
