A MASSIVE and spirited crowd turned up today, March 4, to stand up for Ukraine against violent Russian aggression and bullying by Trump and Vance. Kudos to Indivisible Charlottesville for a great job of organizing, and thanks to everyone who came out — and to everyone who honked!

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"
now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

I’m leading a letter with @kaine.senate.gov & my colleagues to call on President Trump to immediately reinstate all the veterans that have been fired across federal government. We demand you cease your attacks on our nation’s heroes, who've already given so much in defense of our country.

I’m demanding Sec. Duffy explain why his agency is suddenly selecting Musk’s Starlink for FAA use after a contract was already signed with Verizon. This new deal reeks of corrupt, self-serving abuse of taxpayer dollars.

What just happened in the Oval Office was an embarrassment. We're a fundamentally different country than a few weeks ago and unrecognizable to our allies. For over a century, the United States has stood for Democracy. Today, Donald Trump chose the side of dictators.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.
It's shameful and dangerous.
I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

If this ambush of President Zelensky was planned, it makes the behavior of Trump and Vance even more disgraceful. What democratic ally can ever trust a single word uttered by these despicable men who spit in the face of every American who fought and died to save our democratic nation?

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.
