You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep.
Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another.
If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump.
U.S. Marines serve a valuable purpose for this country -- defending democracy. They are not political pawns.
The Secretary of Defense is illegally deploying them onto American streets so Trump can have a talking point at his parade this weekend.
It’s a blatant abuse of power.
We will sue to stop this.
The Courts and Congress must act. Checks and balances are crumbling.
This is a red line — and they’re crossing it. WAKE UP!

After tomorrow, Europe stands with Ukraine stronger than ever before.
But words are cheap, now we need ACTION.
- Ramp up weapons production
- Send more military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine
- Assist Ukraine in fighting corruption
- Enforce sanctions against Russia
- Stop intelligence sharing with the US as there is a high chance they will share it with Putin
- Integrate Canada into EU
- Create a mechanism to resist Orban's bullshit (for example, temporarily remove voting rights)
- Sign a minerals deal with Ukraine
- Create nuclear deterrence
- Stand against big tech billionaires and fight against disinformation
- Stop Russian tourism in the EU
- Stop importing Russian oil and gas
- Stop trade with Russia (also through 3rd countries)
- And most importantly: seize the frozen Russian assets and give them to Ukraine.
Remember, you can just do things.
In 2020, Trump threw the president of Afganistan, Ashraf Ghani, under the bus and signed a deal with the Taliban without our ally at the table. Seems like he's running the same playbook on Ukraine now.
Here's the "peace deal" :
It ended in disaster.

Today would be a great day for European leaders to finally seize those Russian assets sitting in their banks and allow the Ukrainians to start using that $300 billion to buy new weapons. No-brainer.

It is impossible to understand why President Trump and Vice President Vance seem determined to put more pressure on President Zelensky while they seem to be coddling Putin - the person who inflicted this terrible war in Ukraine.
Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.
And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.
To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:
Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.
But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️
