ROUND 1 ✅
Boston, please be classy my friends! I still love and respect you!!

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

They’ll kill you for expressing your first and second amendment rights, then call you a domestic terrorist before the investigation begins.

Are you paying attention yet?

[Will Ragatz @WillRagatz]

I have always avoided talking about politics on this account. But this is my breaking point. I can't say nothing while ICE is going around executing people in broad daylight in my city, blocks from where I live.

They murdered a second person this morning. And I don't want to hear for a second that "he had a gun." Republicans' entire thing is about being pro-2A, that people have the right to be armed against a tyrannical government. Now a textbook example of government tyranny unfolds before you and your immediate response is to take their side? It makes no sense.

There were at least 7 federal agents on top of that man. IF he was armed, the video appears to show that he was disarmed before the shots were fired. There is absolutely zero justification for his killing. This is yet another example of these ICE agents being untrained, hate-filled escalators who are seeking out this kind of violence. They aren't making our community safer, they're making it 1000 times more dangerous.

Everyone can agree that violent criminals, of all backgrounds, should be prosecuted and jailed. A conversation can be had about immigration policy. But this isn't working. This has to stop. ICE has to get out of Minneapolis.

Stephen Miller wants you to think that the paramilitary force he keeps empowering to kill innocent white Americans, on camera, is the real victim. A world-historical coward who is incinerating Trump’s deformed political movement in real time

I’m not a fan of Citizens United

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This guy is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him.

Now he’s going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself.

It’s disgusting.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more.

This is pure BS.

[Aes🇺🇸 @AesPolitics1]

We live in literal idiocracy.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

JD/Trump are thugs. And this ambush of Zelensky at the White House will do deep damage to Ukraine, to our allies and to the U.S.

Openly ridiculing and demeaning a man who has kept his country alive for three years against all the odds is a national embarrassment and runs counter to our own security interests. But they could care less that Ukraine was invaded by Russia — the second biggest military power on the planet — led by a ruthless dictator willing to sacrifice soldiers and civilians by the hundreds of thousands. Trump and JD trying to look tough in front of the cameras even though it’s Zelensky who is the strongest one in the room. The guy who was supposed to lose to Russia in a matter of hours or days is still there, fighting. As are the brave Ukrainian soldiers on the front line.

We help Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do for a fellow democracy that is suffering a brutal invasion AND because if Ukraine were to fall, the next fight would be on the front lines of our NATO allies and our military would be treaty-bound to join the war. In other words, Ukraine is shouldering the total cost in terms of the fighting, the lives forever damaged and the lives lost so that we and our European allies don’t have to.

Trump and Vance are not only abandoning Ukraine. They are abandoning the security of our country. Today they made it much more likely that our service members will be fighting again in Europe, 80 years after countless brave Americans helped liberate the continent and make it safe for democracy.

Shameful.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Russian State Media (TASS) was in the meeting.

AP and Reuters were not.

Get it yet?

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Why wasn’t Zelenskyy wearing a suit in the White House!

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

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.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

Let me get this straight: a Republican congressman beat up the woman he was having an affair with and police are ready to arrest him but they can’t because Trump’s appointed U.S. attorney refuses to enforce the law against republicans

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

So much for "drain the swamp."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
