Good discussion today with European leaders on our support to Ukraine, its security, and the reconstruction of the country.
Ultimately, the prosperity of a free Ukrainian state lies in the accession to the EU.
It’s also a key security guarantee in its own right.

Before every meeting or even phone call with Zelinskyy, Trump first calls Putin. That should tell you something.
It is a strictly one-way street since he never calls Zelinskyy, EU leaders, or anyone else before talking with Putin.
Clearly, Putin's approval matters to him.

One can respect the office of the president but assert that this president does not represent the best interests of the U.S. as evidenced by the conduct of foreign policy re Greenland, Ukraine and Venezuela. Closer to home, we are witness to shameful threats to democracy and the rule of law.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Perhaps it’s naive to think that there is a limit to the continued support of this president by GOP members of Congress, but incredibly we are not there yet. History tells us that there are real dangers when the abuses of a government continue unchecked for too long.

When you read the comments coming from this president you are reminded what a disgusting, morally bankrupt person he is. He continues to disgrace the office he holds. This is one of those times one might wish we could call for a vote of no confidence.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
