Trump may speak for the federal government, but he doesn't speak for the states.
I'm making the case that Minnesota will remain open for business, and we'll continue to enjoy well established ties to our European allies long after Trump is gone.
Trump’s characterizations of Zelensky and Ukraine are some of the most shameful remarks ever made by a US President. Our support of Ukraine has never been about charity, our way of life at home depends on our strength abroad.

@WarMonitor3 At this point, Zelenskyy needs to write off Trump as far as any long-range solutions go. Trump is too far down the rabbit hole of Putin's influence. He needs to look to Europe and Europe needs to step up.
@mrsorokaa Trump hates anyone with principles and backbone, so there was never a chance he would like Zelensky much less offer favorable terms.
Trump only likes his fellow fraudsters, dictators, and authoritarians.
If Europe wants a seat at the table, Europe needs to commit to boots on the ground in Ukraine.
It’s as simple as that now. Washington will ignore empty talk & diplomatic protest. They will only respond to hard actions that change conditions & necessitate a response.
I hope people understand what we are seeing here.
1) Trump and Putin are preparing a common plan to dictate to Ukraine.
2) Ukraine will surprise them (at least Trump) by refusing.
3) The War will continue.
4) The role of Europe will be decisive.
Lame: buy Greenland from Denmark
Flame: buy the patent to Ozempic from Denmark and dump it into the public domain
The savings from reduced health care spending alone would justify almost any price
I am stunned by how quickly checks and balances in the U.S. have collapsed. It’s as if they never existed-just a handful of people can seize control of the executive and ignore the courts
In Ukraine, that wouldn’t stand. If the judiciary failed, people would be in the streets /
🚨NEW: Elon Musk's X is beginning to censor #Anonymous accounts. X has suspended a very active Anonymous Operations account (@AnonOpsSE) with 545K followers for exposing Musk's employees who have infiltrated the Government Services Administration
If this operation is so legit, why can’t those involved get a proper security clearance? Offer transparency to the American people?
This is a plutocratic coup. If you want the power, run for office and be chosen by the people.
Short of that, this is an exercise in vigilantism.
In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights —ie causes that threatened Putins dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want.
Hello real Donald Trump @POTUS, I possess some land east of Avdiivka that contains rare earth metals. Please send troops for extraction.
Very good metals, very rare. All periodic table of them.
Trust me, I’m a chemist.
@ShadowofEzra It's a fucking conspiracy theories cult, the undebatable dogmas of which have nothing to do with reality and require nothing but blind faith.
Experiencing incredible suffering does not make you automatically right about everything.
I know this because I experienced incredible suffering and I woke up the next day and I was not automatically right about everything.
