TTID

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Welker: "You insisted no new wars."

Trump: "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war."

Welker: "You said it over and over again."

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.

And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.

And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

American soldiers die in Trump's war, not a word from Donald. Gas and food prices skyrocket, not a word from Donald. People demand the Epstein files, not a word from Donald. But the minute you take his fat name off a building, Donald writes Mein Kampf for Morons.

[Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet]

Secretary of Defense Hegseth must immediately release Congressionally appropriated funds for Ukraine and our Baltic allies. I’m joining bipartisan colleagues to demand it.

Withholding these funds signals weakness to Putin — not peace through strength.

Donald Trump is running a theft operation in plain sight. Stock trades. Crypto. Pardons. Slush funds. Sick doesn't even cover it.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

[Orla Joelsen @OJoelsen]

This is exactly why the world is losing respect for the US.

[Rasmus Jarlov @RasmusJarlov]

I dont think US Americans understand how insanely repulsive this is. They dont even think of it. They dont understand that others love their countries as much as they love their own. They are deluded to think that they are exceptional and better than everybody and that everybody wants to be US Americans.

The reality is that this kind of threatening rhetoric of taking other countries makes people's blood boild and makes them hate the USA. The US Americans dont understand it, when they read how hated they are in the rest of the world, but this is why.

Incredible tweet from Junior

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

I will never understand how anyone could be a Republican.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

How do you instigate a civil war?
1. Deprive people of democratic representation.
2. Spread lies & conspiracy theories.
3. Promote racism & ethnic discrimination.
4. Restrict freedom of expression.
5. Allow armed militias.
The US is on its way.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

He was sentenced to ten years. Republicans let him out after 6 months. Disgusting.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the will of more than three million voters will not stand.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps.

Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.

This ruling gives a boost to Donald Trump's effort to rig the 2026 elections and the Republicans' long game to attack voting rights.

We are rightfully outraged, but we will not give up. We must continue our fight to restore the power of the people.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Confederate states are rushing through rigged maps to erase Black districts off the map.

If this doesn’t make you angry, it should.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.

MAGA has rigged the system.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Canceling elections.

Silencing free speech.

Deploying private police against your own citizens.

History has a term for Donald Trump's behavior.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken:

For every dollar that we [the US] put into Ukraine, Europeans and others put in a dollar and a half. So the notion that they were free-riding on Ukraine is simply not true.

And much of the money that we spent on Ukraine was actually spent here in the United States to either buy weapons systems for them or to replenish the systems that we gave them.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

The sooner we recognize this hard truth—that there’s no military solution to the conflict with Iran—the better off the United States will be.

Sheer military force cannot reopen the Strait of Hormuz without escalating the war and sucking us into another endless, bloody quagmire that delivers zero benefit to our people.

We can’t get rid of the emboldened government in Tehran, regardless of how many leaders we kill. If we try we will end up with a government or failed state, worse than what we have now.

The inevitable reality is this: we will have to cut a deal with Iran. We can be pragmatic and do it now on our own terms, or we can keep listening to the same neocons and the Israeli government who got us into this mess, only to cut the same deal after we’ve lost even more.

Recognizing that we have hit the point of diminishing returns and pulling out now is not weakness. It is strength—and it’s the right thing to do for the American people.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

In Uno that means you are losing.
