Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

The utter irony of Putin and Trump meeting soon in Budapest to jointly seal Ukraine’s fate should not be lost on anybody. This is the very same city where the US, the UK, and Russia came together 31 years ago to give Ukraine ironclad assurances that its territorial integrity would be respected and protected within existing borders in exchange for giving up a third of the world’s nuclear weapons (to Russia!). Ukraine trusted the US, trusted the UK, transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia, and joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Within 20 years, Putin effectively ripped up the Budapest Memorandum, ignored Russia’s pledge, and invaded and annexed Crimea. In 2022, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine finally removed all remaining doubts about Putin’s imperial greed.

If treaties and agreements between countries are to be trusted, the US and the UK must stand by the original Budapest Memorandum and give the Ukrainians everything they need to push Russia out of Ukraine, as President Trump said he would do before taking Putin’s latest call. It is the only way for Ukraine to get its territory back and put an end to this brutal invasion.

If the US and Russia continue to ignore the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, how on Earth can Ukraine be expected to have any faith in yet another Budapest memorandum signed in the same city between Russia and the United States? They can’t.

If you’re okay with SNAP benefits being cut off right before thanksgiving while trump gives $40 billion to Argentina to bail out their tanking stock market, you’re not only stupid, but you’re a terrible fucking person.

I’m confused. Is Trump supposed to be president of the United States or vice president of Russia?

Since when does an American president need to ask for Putin’s permission to do anything?? 🤨

She should be doing the job you're not letting her do?

Maybe they should have covered him like the maniac he is back in 2016. He might not have been president.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Spreading hatred is the only thing the Trump Administration seems to be able to accomplish.

The government is SHUT DOWN. Millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare. Our troops are not going to be paid.

And they are busy trashing Dems on TV.

It's pathetic and un-American.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Republicans shut down the government 16 days ago—and still haven’t done a damn thing to fix the mess they made.

But here’s what they have been doing:

• Trump hosted a fundraiser at the White House to pay for his ballroom while workers miss paychecks.

• The Supreme Court heard oral arguments about gutting voting rights.

• The Trump administration just pledged $40 Billion to Argentina while they can’t figure out how to fund the government or how to prevent healthcare costs from rising.

Again, they keep screaming “America First” while constantly putting Americans last.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Let’s set the record straight:

1. Mike Johnson can swear in Adelita Grijalva at any time, and he chooses not to.

2. Trump and Republicans can end this shutdown at any time, but they choose not to.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Karoline Leavitt should resign.

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

It's sick.

You are invading the sovereign state of Illinois.

You are betraying your oath of office, your fellow countrymen, these United States, and 31 million Texans.

mind u this be coming from people that STOLE niggas and BROUGHT THEM OVER HERE??!!!??!??

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Gov Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Gov Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

We have the Insurrection Act for a reason—

But it's not so a President with 34 felonies can ignore court orders and punish cities he doesn't like with military intimidation.

Especially not when the courts are telling him his claims of insurrection are "untethered to the facts."

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Imagine looking at Portland — one of the most innovative, beautiful cities in the country — and calling it a ‘dark horrible train wreck’ while sitting on Trump’s cabinet of fascist dystopian nightmares. (Meanwhile, crime is down, livability’s high & your party is the train wreck)
