This is gut wrenching. I wish I was a dumb trump supporter tonight. Oblivious to what’s coming tomorrow. I’m in my 60’s working and have had my 401K for 35 plus yrs. I follow it closely. I’m heartbroken tonight.

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

There is absolutely no way Greenland should let in a representative of an overtly hostile nation, in fact the wife of someone explicitly threatening to “take” it. Turn her plane back.

Hilarious/depressing hearing the Sunday shows try to make sense of the fact that Trump hasn't soured on Musk yet, and Musk is still in control. Y'all still don't get it: Trump belongs to Musk (and his allies).

Just reflecting back on weekend. Went to a very small peace rally on a local street corner. And amazingly, an actual bald eagle soared overhead! Was it a sign? George Washington reincarnationed??

If Trump thinks that stopping all military aid and intelligence to Ukraine will bring peace why is America continuing to give Israel billions of dollars of weapons and aid? Because it’s a lie. Trump is a Russian traitor and needs to end up in The Hague.

Shocked to see the changed tone of the Danish Minister re: trumps predatory comment Greenland. He was like a kitten. A pushover. Why? It seems the tariffs are now being used as a threat. The message is clear now. Appeasement.

Chamberlain appeased Hitler in 1938, when he didn't know for certain that there would be a larger war - and not three years later, when hundreds of thousands of people had already died

When Trump tries to postpone elections at some point one argument his people will make is, “But Zelensky postponed elections and you didn’t think that made him a dictator.” Just get ready for that. It’s coming.

This. This one person using the voice they have. We all need to do this with every platform and opportunity we have. Stand up and speak out.

JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Trump to a reporter who asks him about Russia breaking a ceasefire: "What if a bomb drops on your head right now ... Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt."

I’d want Zelensky fighting for me. He put himself out there in the lions den tonight for his people.

Baier: Right. I'm not hearing from you, Mr. President, a thought that you owe the president an apology? Zelenskyy: No. I respect president. And I respect American people. And I'm not sure that we did something bad

Russia is a failed state under Putin. WTF are we their allies now? We should have threatened to crush them In 2022. Instead we did not and we elected a Putin puppet not once but TWICE. I can’t stop this loop in my head.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Zelenskyy went into that nest of vipers and roasted them all. Good. They all exposed themselves, they demeaned themselves in a way that was undeniable. Perfect.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Bingo. This is it. Russian collusion from trump own big mouth.

Let it all come out. There will be a reckoning. Zelensky is a hero.

Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president... Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?... Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...
