All democracy-loving people in countries around the world need to stand together against these authoritarians.

This feels like a '"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" pivotal moment. At least I hope so.

Thank you.

What was Trump’s proposal for a path to peace? o give up 50% of rare earth assets o no US support o agree to a cease fire o hold an election o negotiate a peace plan o no NATO o give up Russia occupied land o trust Putin who cheats & lies All Trump offered was Trust ME. SAD.

America has sold out to Russia...

Thank you. Today felt like 5 years. It’s comforting to know we all feel the same.

You said something that's very frightening - we are only 6 weeks in .....

Its giving me PTSD flashbacks from when I was married to a sadistic narcissist... and thinking just that...that this was the ultimate bottom behavior and then...its not.

Patriotic Americans will never accept Russo-Republicans like Trump and Vance!

Adam, it’s time every real American get their ass to DC. We need to occupy OUR streets and OUR federal buildings until this phony Russian administration is removed.

Thank you Adam. I think many of us feel so helpless and we need real leadership and I am thankful that you are here for us. Are there thoughts of getting a new party started with Liz Cheney and others? The D Party and (what was once) the R party are not meeting the moment.

Today felt surreal. You nailed it, surreal like 9-11 did. But this time, the enemy is within, and the good guys are the bad guys.

In lieu of attending the Stateofthe Union, I think Dems should have an off-site "True State of the Union" address, delivered by H.Jeffries. It should be high level and touch on points normally addressed in the SoftheU address, while peaceful groups hold a candlelight vigil outside the Capitol.

President Zelensky, My heart is aching for the rudeness you received from Donald Trump & his gang! He does not deserve to be addressed as President! Thank you, too, to the world leaders who contacted you to offer their support. Please know there are MANY of us who support you as well.

I have never been so embarrassed by an American president.

That was embarrassing and despicable! So obvious it is all about pleasing Putin! American diplomacy at its worst! Will we have any allies left when this is all over?

The (pardon my French) fucking arrogance of those two clowns. It sickens me…it’s embarrassing, it’s revolting, it’s shameful and it’s downright un-American. What the holy hell is going on in this country. smh

I called the Ukrainian embassy and apologized. +1 (202) 322-2616

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

So hard to watch!!! Trump and Vance are disgusting!!! Hope they get their faces pounded!!!

Thank you

A good speech in that video Mr. Kinzinger. The real reason why Trump, the Russian asset, is in such a hurry to "make peace = hand Putin a victory" is that Russia is crumbling. Running out of men and weapon. Only thing Ukraine needs to do is defend to demilitarize Russia. Thank you for doing that!

Thank you for continuing the fight.

And heard what Lindsay Graham just said. He has drunk the koolaid and has lost his short term memory of when he praised Zelensky.

Looks like the Vance tRump team fumbled the ball (peace deal) on the one yard line… and Putin wins again

Adam - what do we, the public, do? We need a leader. We are ready but rudderless

DO NOT GIVE LIFE TO, "EXPECTING #UKRAINE TO BE GRATEFUL"! *NO* DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY-IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD-EVER *EXPECTED* ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY TO, "BE GRATEFUL", FOR HELP AGAINST AN INVADER! #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump IS A SCUMBAG! SIMPLE AS THAT! AMERICA - AND THE WORLD - KNOW!

Agreed. My dad was there too. Hero Timberwolves

Never once I ever thought about leaving this country! This is our home! Only WE can change things!

You sure that wasn't a scene from the Sopranos where Tony and Silvio were trying to shake down a small business owner?

Thank you for this and all you do.

I just saw Lyndsey Graham gush like a fan next to Zelensky at the Munich conference last week and then witnessed him attempt to put in some kicks after the White House debacle by demanding Zelensky resign resign. He, Susan Collin’s and all the other spineless (R)s are WORSE than MAGA faithful.

Trump is turning the United States of America into Putin’s Russia. * Former French President François Hollande said in a recent interview that President Donald Trump and his administration are "no longer" allies. The former French leader also accused Trump of "making pacts with our adversaries."

I'm just sick over the horrible way that President Zelenskyy was treated today by trump and vance. Your video was very informative, especially when you said that trump and vance wouldn't ask any other leader to do what they demanded of Zelenskyy. This is just awful.

America needs you @lizcheney.bsky.social, @barackobama1961.bsky.social and Joe Biden to start backdoor diplomacy in Ukraines interest. Travel to Europe and Asia to show the world that most Americans don't support the current actions of this administration.

Please call your congress members and demand Trump be removed from office due to incompetence: 202 224 3121 REPOST

Thank you Adam. Not every generation is called upon to do something truly meaningful for this country. This generation is. It's a fight for the soul of America and it's a fight we cannot lose.

I didn’t watch, title was too weak/self-protective. You’re one of the few American voices the world listens to - be bolder.

#IStandwithUkraine

A question for those who know about American political history - is it normal for a VP to be critical of a foreign leader in the way that Vance has done to Starmer and Zelenskyy this week?

Sharing for my FB followers. Mr. Kinzinger is a Republican, cut from the same cloth as that of John McCain, whom I always respected, whether or not I agreed with him. Never forget that Trump called Sen. McCain "a loser".

Witnessing Joffrey and Reek bully Jon Snow is wild...wish we could all yell "Dracarys" in unison! 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for encouragement in this fight. Now that Trump and Vance confirmed to the world that they are Traitors working for Putin, how do we crush them?

I like the comment about a People’s Party and I add, Finland is superior in free education for all. We aren’t the best in everything. We can learn a lot from other countries. But not while we have the administration we have now. Still mad we didn’t demand hand recounts in all 7 swing states.

Omg

My goal for the day is to reach as many members of Congress as I can. I am on call #28. www.house.gov/representati... www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Fuck these fascist assholes.

From the Declaration of Independence "..governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new."

Thank you and your family for standing tall and guiding us through these dark times

Thank you for all that you do! I had to take a walk to after watching the footage. We will not give up! 🗽🇺🇦

Powerful words. Kizinger, you need to sit down with Cenk from @theyoungturks.bsky.social, @briantylercohen.bsky.social, and @davidpakman.bsky.social to unpack this travesty Americans in general need to hear about this and understand what this means for the future of USA

I did not cry when the Felon was elected in Nov. and 2016, but today I wept watching the deplorable, appalling manner in which those two ingrates treated President Zelinskyy. Clearly their evil plan was to make Zelinskyy look bad. The Felon would NEVER have spoken to Putin in that manner.

Thank you, Adam Kinzinger. And yes, "We're in this together." 🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇦

Thank you much for posting this Mr. Kinzinger💙 Bless you for standing up to djt and for what is right. You are inspiring and give us all some hope.👍💙🇺🇸

youtu.be/7xkgoRkC3pc?...

I'm ready to fight. Does Ukraine need a middle-aged, former US Marine Russian Linguist from Rockford, IL to volunteer?

Ya know…when there are still people like VZ in the world with the courage to say "I don't need a ride..." that number sure as heck better include the American people. 🦅🇺🇲

Like everything he does it has backfired. The whole event made him and Vance look like 2 bully babies workin to make Putin smile. A draft dodger DJT, addressing a war president who fights with his men. Telling him he doesnt hold the cards!! Vance quipping “ did you even say thanks” 6 grade bullies

You don't talk to a Head of State like Trump and Vance did. How un-diplomatic? How unprofessional? No one should be surprised, neither Trump nor Vance has any couth or professional decorum. They've been handed everything on a silver platter their entire lives. What a disgrace!

That’s for sure!

Definitely. But, I think they want to be a 21st century Hilter.

yes

This was the most cathartic thing I have seen all day. I have been in utter shock and felt powerless as the MAGAs lap up the spin.

👏🏼👏🏼 hear hear

Thank you for always speaking out.

Thank you. Your statements give so many of us hope.

AGREE 100%! A kind gentle calm man amongst crazies surrounding him, yelling at him!!! And then the other two! 47/v are out of control!

Agreed, those were fighting words… “tell me I should be thankful one more time and I’m going to throw you a beat down!”

Thank you

In less than 6 (!) weeks #Trump has managed to enrage government workers, low- and middle-class families, military generals, neighboring countries and Western allies. He has destroyed America’s reputation, leadership and soon its financial standing. Impossible that this will go on for four years...

The Statue of Liberty is leaving the USA because she is ashamed of President Donald Trump. #FuckTrump #FuckMAGA

I think it's time for Europe to take control and defeat putin, giving everything they can to Ukraine. As an American , I hate to say this but we need to have our asses handed over to them on a plate. Thank you Trumper Maga clowns for putting this jackal over our country!

Watched your video on substack. Thank you, I needed this. Also, we Americans can show our support for Ukraine by donating to U24.

The lowest moment is when Traitor Marine told Zelensky that Ukraine was really bad off because he was "going out and chasing down conscripts for the war." He said this twice. I thought of Vietnam. Then I thought of Russia, 800,000 dead soldiers. Believe me, they were not volunteers.

Now can we do the thing with the pitchforks & torches? Seems inevitable and now is better than later.

Thank you, and we will be fighting by you till the sun shines again.

Thanks for that video!! You expressed exactly what I am feeling.

This was helpful.. and appreciated. And your comment about America and Pearl Harbor should hit home with every American

Thank you for your words This has been a devastating afternoon, and you’ve given me hope that we can fight this.

Flood the white house with letters telling trump what a feckless traitor he is 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington DC. 20500

Thank you so much, my household really needed to hear that.

What I really want to know who is going to put a stop to this madness before it’s too late? I know there has 2 b some generals, and former leaders who knew very well what a threat to our democracy he is and had a contingency plan.

Thanks you Adam. I'm taking my anger and putting it to use writing even more postcards to help the key Democratic candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court, Susan Crawford, on the vital April 1 election there. We need to build up state by state to save this country -- and the world.

youtu.be/Lddv3YxliZ4?...

Why is your party trying to make us Moscow west? What the hall happened to them? Too much lust for power?

That was horrible and dangerous. Vance should not be part of any conversations going forward. He has no idea what diplomacy is

A few orgs you can donate to help Ukraine: United 24 (started by Zelensky) Ukrainian Red Cross Society White Stork Hospitallers Ukraine Front Line Azov One Renegade Relief Runners Kozak Drive Foundation Sustain Ukraine Superhumans East SOS Charitable Foundation Razom for Ukraine United Help Ukrain

Thank you Adam for articulating how I feel today.

full disclosure: I said it earlier and it was confirmed again. WE-ARE-THE-BAD-GUYS-NOW, own it and accept it. Every country should turn its back on us, we are a nation of cowards and traitors, we will betray anyone for a buck.

So when do Americans actually do something? You need a leader to galvanize the opposition

Thank you. This video really helped me. We’ll keep fighting.

Every word you say is so true. I am 70 and have never seen such titty babies bullies in the white house

Good video. Thanks

Always great seeing your posts @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. They keep me level headed at least.

I want to believe in the promise of freedom. I want to believe that darkness isn't coming. After today and what Trump did to Zelensky, it's here. We must as American citizens rise up at every chance and shine our lights. In whatever chance we can. Darkness is here. Shine the light on these roaches!!

Well stated!

We absolutely are the bad guys

3/ Putin. My parents would've been LIVID after Trump's Insurrection. They were Eisenhower Republicans who voted for JFK & Bill Clinton. My mom's parents were 🇳🇴🇸🇪immigrants. Dad's family 🇳🇴🇬🇧 also immigrants. They'd be 102 & 103 today. We've lost our Greatest Generation & have few citizens who remember.

I cannot apologize to the people of Ukraine enough. These puppets do not speak for half of America. Just for their overlord Putin.

Thank you Adam! Stay safe. Stay Strong. Stay one of the good guys. Please!

This just crushed me. Worse yet is the wide gulf of perceptions of the people in Trump's cult of personality and the rest of the world as to what happened. We know what happened. Zelenskyy was th only adult in the room. What worries me more is where these ideologues will lead us.

🇺🇦 Trump and Vance are Russian assets 🇺🇦

Can't put a finger in this dike. Dam's about to bust. #SlavaUkraine

People who protest should all wear Ukraine’s colors. Come to think of it, all people. Would make for a cool press conference.

Update: We hit our goal of $1,000 with the match and then far surpassed it. Another donor matched out original goal of $1,000 donation, and others have continued to donate. We're closing in on $2,500 raised now! ♥️

We hit our goal last night and I'm unable to continue to match, but I still encourage everyone to donate if you can. ♥️

Done.
