For every idiot like Ted Cruz, Bill Ackerman and Josh Hawley you find at Harvard, there are people like Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a 1st generation American who finished with a 5.0 at MIT and got her doctoral degree in theoretical physics at Harvard. Many people call her the next Einstein.

Trump, as usual, was lying during today's White House press conference with Zelensky. I see Zelensky's ongoing, tireless diplomacy. He's thanked the US people & leaders MANY times. Trump never stops lying or bullying. Constant bullshit. I'm ashamed of my country right now.

Vance's speech with Zelinskyy was unconscionable. Telling him he wasn't thankful enough? Are you kidding? Russian journalists in the room when our own journalists are losing their sources from threats of violence to their families? And when Dems question this, Felon #47 accuses inciting violence?
