This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

We have to take it seriously. He will never get Canada - over our dead bodies!
Whittington: As Trump continues his shakedown of Canada, it is becoming apparent that his talk about using 'economic force' to annex this country needs to be taken seriously.
President's threat to rules-based world order is no joke

Caroline Kennedy: “My dad would be horrified and ashamed.”

RFK Jr. cannot be confirmed. Call your senators. Tell them this man is not qualified and is a dangerous choice to lead HHS

Wyden: "Mr Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He has made it his life's work to sow doubt and to discourage parents from getting their kids lifesaving vaccines. It has been lucrative for him."

Empathy is radical.

How did this happen, how did so many of us lose our humanity?

RFK Jr.: Medicaid is not working.

Fact check: 83% of Medicaid enrollees rate the overall performance of Medicaid positively, and Medicaid enrollees report fewer cost-related problems relative to those with Marketplace coverage and ESI.

Must have been grimacing as they wrote this! This freeze is an affront to humanity.
The question is did OMB not understand what they laid out or not understand how strong the backlash to it would be? Louisiana governor (R) responds by asking OMB to enact these freezes "without jeopardizing the financial stability of the state." 50% of LA budget comes from the feds.

Congrats to the AP for getting this headline right.

Please notice who runs the wire story and doesn't.

On Jan. 6, 2021, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone lay stunned and injured on the ground of the U.S. Capitol building.

He’d been Tasered several times in the back of the neck, and someone tried to rip away his gun. That’s when he heard someone say, “Kill him with his own gun.”
‘I Have Been Betrayed By My Country’: Capitol Police Officers Blast Trump’s Jan. 6 Pardons
Officer Michael Fanone said the Republican Party had a “monopoly on hypocrisy” after Donald Trump pardoned convicted cop beaters and terrorists.

Come on Canada - we don’t have to grovel. Stand up to the bully!
Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Jose Andres says he already quit but this is still a disgrace. He’s an incredible person - Nobel please!
Jose Andres and his World Central Kitchen have been in Los Angeles volunteering to feed displaced families -- right after he did the same thing for those impacted by the hurricane in North Carolina.

This is how the president is repaying him tonight -- "YOU'RE FIRED!"

I never in my life thought I would see a sitting member of the U.S. Congress gleefully call our nation "the dominant predator." This is sick.
WATCH: Rep. Andy Ogles says he introduced a bill to let Trump annex Greenland because “we are the dominant predator”

Reagan’s GOP: 🇺🇸 = “shining city on a hill”

Today’s GOP: 🇺🇸 = “dominant predator”

Sounds about right.

This is despicable - they are terrorists and seditionists.
The President of the United States just pardoned 1500 people who assaulted the Capitol to try to overturn an election and it's barely even news. We are in so much trouble. frontpages.freedomforum.org/gallery
