GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia.
It’s almost as if Trump is colluding with Putin.

Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats
Recent incidents indicate US is no longer characterizing Russia as a cybersecurity threat, marking a radical departure: ‘Putin is on the inside now’

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

"I’m not sure which is worse: the fact that Republicans are moving to gut the last lifeline for 72 million Americans who rely on Medicaid and 43 million Americans who rely on Food Stamps or the fact that they’re lying about doing it."

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix*

The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc…

They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

FINALLY one western nation is acting to root out Russian interference.

Romania's investigations into Pro-Russian candidate Georgescu reveal another puppet of the Putin regime.

$10,000,000 in cash, trips back and forth to Moscow, all the usual.

Why can't other nations get serious about Russians?

The GOP claims slashing $880 billion from Medicaid is about eliminating "waste, fraud, & abuse.”

That's a smokescreen. The “fraud” amounts to less than 1/10th of 1%, not even close to $880 billion.

Their actual plan slashes coverage for millions & leaves families without care. We won’t be fooled.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky
💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out
