@Liz_Cheney The level of disrespect that Vance shows in stepping over the chain of command to berate a foreign president says it all. Trump is a tired old cunning man who is letting his younger henchmen carry out his destruction.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Ukrainians have fought tooth-and-nail on the frontlines of democracy against Russian aggression.

Pres. Trump and VP Vance’s words to Pres. Zelenskyy are rude and utterly shameful. The people of Ukraine and President Zelenskyy deserve an apology.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today.

And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Write/ call your Senator to urgent them to pass the Social Security Fairness Act right now, before December 31. This will repeal the unfair GPO-WEP.

83% 83% of public employees penalized by GPO-WEP are women.

@gtconway3d His followers believe his intellectual inadequacy makes him a peer to them, in a mistaken notion of what equality means. Many of them have been victims of the decades long dumbing down of America. Ignorance is admired.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Thank you for the wonderful memory @Kennerly At Camp David 49 years ago President Ford - a good, honorable & kind man - took the time to play “Here’s the church, here’s the steeple…” with me. He was a man of character and integrity, the kind of leader our nation deserves.

@ACTBrigitte The quote on your profile picture is similar to the famous Yeats lines, "The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
" The Second Coming, " by WB Yeats.

@wickedjester83 @JoJoFromJerz One thing to remember, though, is that people thought Hitler was a joke for some time. My mother, 97 yo, recalls hearing Hitler's voice on the radio in her suburban Chicago home, in addition to seeing news clips at the cinema. "People just thought he was ridiculous," she recalls.

@GeorgeTakei If anyone doubts the label "cult" for Trump followers, read up on cult characteristics. Understanding their psychology can help in communicating compassionately with loved ones, and ultimately help them detach.

@IncDak @LAURA_N_ROD When they arrive by bus from Texas, they have almost nothing. They're typically wearing flip flops and T-shirts, more or less.

I hope that citizens in Blue Island, Calumet Township, and Illinois House District 28 are paying attention. Robert "Bob" Rita has been singing like a canary in TWO trials -- Com Ed and Tim Mapes.
He is earning immunity by testifying! From what??!!
