Dear #Ukraine,
Most Americans are appalled by 45's behavior, which does not reflect our nation's true sentiments.
We stand with you in solidarity.
We recognize the injustice you face.
45's actions are a stain on our diplomacy, but they do not define our collective heart.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says federal workers "don’t deserve their jobs or paychecks"
She still collects the taxpayer-funded $174K salary to spew nonsense.
If federal jobs aren’t “real,” does that include hers?
Or is hypocrisy just another government benefit?

45 claimed Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a dictator.
IMMEDIATELY GOT OUTPLAYED
Zelenskyy offered to step down as president for peace, NATO membership and to stop Putin’s invasion.
One fights for democracy, the other licks Putin’s boots.

45’s alleged 1987 KGB codename “Krasnov” from his meeting with the #KGB during a "scouting trip for a "hotel".
The Daily Beast published, then yanked, the story; No word yet.
The GOP’s top guy has been bowing to #Russia for decades.
At what point do we just call it what it is?

45’s #WhiteHouse declaring “Long live the king” isn’t just a meme.
It’s a warning.
This wannabe #dictator SCREAMING his intentions; his cult cheers as democracy burns.
America fought a revolution to escape a #king.
The #GOP crowns one.

Accountability? Deleted.
45 just killed the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, erasing records of police misconduct.
What we can't see can't hurt us, right?
Wrong.
Blind trust isn’t trust, it’s surrender.
And that’s exactly the point.

First, #Elon fired the people that maintain our #NUCLEAR ARSENAL, then scrambled to hire them back;
But didn't have any way of contacting them when they cut off their government email.
Now, they have done the same with people who were fighting the #H1N1 #Birdflu.
How many times must we do this?

Exactly 14 American flags? Really? Still throwing Nazi signs?
14 is significant in the white supremacist world. It is often associated with a slogan known as the "14 Words," a white nationalist phrase: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

45: "He who saves his country does not violate any law"
Pure authoritarian rot.
That’s not patriotism; it’s the mantra of EVERY #dictator in history.
The #Constitution is the #law.
No one, especially a wannabe tyrant, is above it.
If you break laws to “save” a nation, you’re destroying it.

Every Democrat voted no.
The only Republican to break rank? Mitch McConnell.

ND MAGA filed HCR 3020, forcing state workers to

With 5 airplane crashes on his watch, Sean Duffy says DOGE will "UPGRADE" our aviation system.
Elon wants control of the planes.
If he controls the planes, he controls the flight logs.
That means anyone he favors can move anonymously, no records and no oversight.
It’s a power grab.

China was ready; they’re stepping in, expanding their influence, and building alliances with nations in need.
Foreign aid was less than 1% of the budget, but now #China is gaining ground, strengthening #BRICS while the U.S. loses power.

Absolutely not.
