Whatever you do, don’t save this picture and reply to all of Trump/White House/ Foxnews/ MAGAs tweets with this picture . Please. Trump wants it to go away:

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

It would be so unprofessional of everyone to start replying to Trumps and White House’s tweets with this picture. So don’t

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

Hey media

Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"

If only there was a Senator who could have prevented RFK Jr from becoming HHS Sec.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Trump the idiot... thought that Massie, Cornyn and Cassidy were "immediately" "kicked out of Congress" after he defeated them in the GOP primaries.

He didn't realize they can still vote until the Christmas recess.

So did a lot of the MAGA morons.

Since WH won’t disclose if he’s taking finasteride we don’t know why his PSA has risen 10x from last yr’s 0.1 to 1.0 now. Did he stop taking the drug, or is he still taking it and now there’s something going on with his prostate? That’s why it’s important. https://t.co/AVV3Hb0bV0

An incomplete medical report is not a credible report. They can’t pick and choose which data they’re willing to report. What else is missing?

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Dear @ScottPelley

Thank you.

Thank you for standing up when it was inconvenient.

Thank you for standing up when it cost you a job you loved.

Thank you for standing up to power and for trying to save a landmark news program.

Thank you for your INTEGRITY.

[Paul Jacobs @PaulJacobsMedia]

I truly wish @PBS would hire the team that @60Minutes has fired, including those-soon-to-leave Scott Pelley etc. and create their own version of this iconic program. Ratings would be huge.
Good will would be even larger.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

This is nuts!

Thousands of people show up for @jamestalarico’s rally in Ken Paxton’s home county — Collin County — in deep red Texas!

He’s gonna win!
