Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is not a good look. Trump fires and libels people who do their jobs and say the truth, which is not a firing offense. DJT undermines confidence in the government, again. That isn’t what the leader of 🇺🇸 should.

Trump is wasting huge amounts of taxpayer money based on his whims. The man is a prolific spender. An extra $100B per year on defense; $127B on ICE and deportations. Insane money, being spent to send tax-paying workers out of 🇺🇸, leaving their families in dire straits.
In case you have lost perspective, the map shows the city of LA and the red circle the protests. For this Trump has federalized 4000 national guard and 600 Marines and spent $134 million.

Gov Newsom is right to sue and seek an emergency stop.

Disregard for human life, exercise of total power, and distain for human rights and freedom describes Putin correctly. Ukraine must win so that Ukrainians in Crimea and Donbas are not subject to this destructive, totalitarian system.
Yet another video appeared on Russian Telegram channels that reportedly shows injured and sick Russians being sent into meat assaults.

When you read about Russian frontline advances, remember at what cost it comes - tremendous neglect of human lives.

Make no mistake: Ukraine is leading the fight for democracy. A just and lasting peace requires Ukraine to be at the negotiating table, and its victory will make all of us safer.

Ukraine must win. Putin must lose.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.

It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.

If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

Putin.

Utterly disgraceful. Trump and Vance disgraced 🇺🇸 today, and every time they refuse to utterly condemn Vladimir Putin and the war crimes Russia is committing.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Call your Senators, Representatives, and the White House. Then write them letters. Then emails. The White House only takes comment calls between 11-3:00, Tuesday-Thursday. That’s right, The White House wants to hear from 200 million registered voters during only 12 hours a week… comment on THAT too.

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

Trump asked for $500 billion from Ukraine. The US economy is about 142X the size of Ukraine’s economy. For 🇺🇦 to pay 🇺🇸 $500 billion is equivalent to 🇺🇸 paying $77 quadrillion! It’s a ridiculous ask, especially since $500B is about 5X what 🇺🇸 has spent on 🇺🇦, and 83-87% of that money was spent in 🇺🇸.
