[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

General Chris Donahue has spent his career leading from the front, earning the respect of Soldiers, Allies, and senior leaders across the Joint Force. Secretary Hegseth’s decision to force him out says far more about Hegseth than it does about General Donahue.

This is yet another unforced error from a Secretary leading the Pentagon with bro-culture bravado rather than restraint, humility and careful stewardship of the finest fighting force in the world.

Strong leaders are not threatened by accomplished commanders. Weak ones are. His paranoid micromanagement of senior military leaders and promotion lists is pure insecurity dressed up as reform. He is more interested in purging people he perceives as insufficiently loyal than empowering proven patriots who can actually lead.

This is not reinvigorating the warrior ethos. This is not a leader prioritizing merit. It’s sophomoric. It’s unserious. And it’s bringing great harm to our Department of Defense. Our military deserves steady, serious civilian leadership. Right now, it’s getting the opposite.

You and your husband promoted a policy of taking breast-feeding babies away from the chests of their mothers.

Your agents shot a mother in the face, then called her a "fuckin' bitch."

An American president threatening the death of an ancient civilization is in some ways the end of the 250-year moral experiment of a constitutional republic that the framers saw as a model for all mankind.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

A straight up lie. Obama’s JCPOA halted Iran's nuclear weapons program, making America and the world safer. We argued then, correctly, that the likeliest alternative to the deal was war.

President Trump tore up that deal anyway, failed to negotiate a new diplomatic agreement, and then decided to wage a reckless war that continues to have devastating consequences for the American people.

What a time to be alive. To be governed by pure idiocy, just the dumbest people alive - but in charge.

[Bruce Arthur @bruce_arthur]

I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, right to bear arms, democracy, all of it. It’s been an empty, malicious political project for decades and decades

In the same week as his humiliating climb down on Greenland, he confused Iceland and Greenland multiple times, and now his staff is confusing Antarctica with Greenland (penguins inhabit the former, not the latter.)

The most powerful nation on Earth being run like a clown show.

The damage done to America and its standing in the world under Trump will haunt the US for decades. A corrupt and petty regime that functions primarily as a personality cult of weak sycophants pandering to a childish narcissist.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Hey @grok, remind this moron which country is the only one to invoke Article 5, how many NATO allies came to its defense, and how many soldiers they lost. Keep it short

Invoke the 25th Amendment.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

The world is basically watching the United States commit suicide because Trump is entirely driven by his own fragile ego and the GOP doesn’t have the courage to oppose him

[Jeff Timmer @jefftimmer]

There has never been a threat more dangerous and lethal to the security and future of the United States than Donald Trump. It’s not even close.

This is a Ukrainian soldier that lost both arms, both eyes and his hearing defending us all. To tell this man that due to the US electing a mentally unfit imbecile for president he has to give away the land he sacrificed so much to defend, cannot stand.

To tell the hundreds of thousands that have seen their children, their parents or their spouses mutilated, raped or killed for 4 years and counting at the hands of Russian soldiers that they will never get any justice, cannot possibly stand.

To tell Ukrainians that they'll just have to accept that the butchers of Irpin and Bucha will never be trialed for their crimes, all because the US could not care less and Europe finds it too legally intricate to give Ukraine all the frozen Russian billions, cannot stand.

With or without the United States, Europe cannot allow Ukraine to be forced into a so called "American peace deal" that will bring no justice and a very short lived peace. Europe must now finally use every means at its disposal to enable Ukraine to seek whatever justice and peace they see fit.

We owe this man at least that much.
