Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺��
“Russia Invades Ukraine in Largest European Attack Since WWII” @FoxNews (February 24, 2022) https://t.co/ra8R9PI9oj
Trump's team allegedly has offered Putin (1) Ukrainian territory, (2) no NATO membership for Ukraine, (3) no US soldiers in Ukraine, (4) the withdrawal of US soldiers from Europe, including from frontline states, and (5) sanctions relief. Putin's return offer -- nothing.
Americans elected Trump to lower their costs.
Now he's promoting luxury condos in Gaza; fully embracing Putin while shunning our allies; likely RAISING costs with tariffs; and sanctioning a chaotic government shakeup that has left us more vulnerable.
We'll see how long the honeymoon lasts.
"Musk can’t claim he wasn’t aware that the National Reconnaissance Office is one of the nation’s intelligence agencies. His company, SpaceX, has a $1.8 billion contract with NRO to build hundreds of spy satellites." #Conflict
Republicans have given Musk access to all of our federal systems for his own enterprise. They own every breach, every bit of compromised data and information.
BREAKING: President Trump just signed an executive order to DEFUND any schools that mandate COVID vaccines.
FACT: Not a single public school district in the country mandates that students get a COVID-19 vaccine.
He’s just pandering to his misinformed base.
Low-income families who voted for Trump are realizing he’s getting rid of their SNAP, and farmers who voted for Trump are realizing he’s getting rid of their subsidies & teachers who voted for Trump are realizing that he’s cutting their funding.
If only they’d listened.
If only.
Dozens of Alaskans – potentially over 100 in total – are being fired as part of the Trump administration’s reduction-in-force order for the federal government.
Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good, stunting opportunities in Alaska and leaving holes in our communities. We can’t realize our potential for responsible energy and mineral development if we can’t permit projects. We will be less prepared to manage summer wildfires if we can’t support those on the front lines. Our tourism economy will be damaged if we don’t maintain our world-class national parks and forests.
I share the administration’s goal of reducing the size of the federal government, but this approach is bringing confusion, anxiety, and now trauma to our civil servants—some of whom moved their families and packed up their whole lives to come here. Indiscriminate workforce cuts aren’t efficient and won’t fix the federal budget, but they will hurt good people who have answered the call to public service to do important work for our nation.
My staff and I are in close touch with agency and department officials, trying to get answers about the impact of these terminations. Our goal is to forestall unnecessary harm—for people and Alaska’s federal priorities—but the response so far has been evasive and inadequate.
Do not underestimate the shift the Trump administration is laying out in its public comments. This is not just a shift away from supporting Ukraine against Russia, it is the U.S. reducing its support for, and involvement in, Europe’s security - and more
broadly, in the security of allies in Asia and around the world. 1/
Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts.
NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities.
Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.
It’s wild that the American VP is criticizing European countries for stifling freedom of speech.
In the Press Freedom Index, the US ranks 55th, while Sweden is 3rd and Germany 10th.
Russia, meanwhile, sits at 162.
Cutting unnecessary expenses and waste. Rooting out fraud. All good.
But compelling tens of thousands of government employees, who you have had no time to evaluate, to quit by offering buyouts & making their lives miserable if they don't, is reckless beyond belief.
My god—Trump DOJ’s quid pro quo (to drop charges on Adams if he helped ICE agents in NYC) is not only so obvious… but there are actual notes from the meeting describing the explicit quid pro quo. Gotta be some conspiracy crime here.
Cancer research is cancelled while Elon's SpaceX gets a brand new $40m defense contract from our government this week. This is where your money is going.
