[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 I can't STRESS this ENOUGH:

Trump’s new defense plan quietly creates a National Guard “response force” for crowd control and civil unrest — deployable nationwide by April 2026.

All 50 states.

That’s not preparation to leave office.

That’s preparation to suppress dissent and consolidate power.

Pay attention.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Guess which one of these two people the federal government murdered for "holding a weapon."

The Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles.

We heard for over two years that "we can't breathe with masks on" and now ICE can't seem to function without one.

Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy. GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans. Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents. Data speaks louder than party lines.

It bears repeating.

@StevenCheung47 @jrpsaki I deleted my post earlier because it was dumb. I just reread your post and now I have to express again “you’re a jerk”.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

Oh my goodness Zelenskyy bodies him here
