Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵

Historian here:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

The 1st president of the U.S. to ever have an unelected bureaucrat in the Oval Office after that guy bankrolled his campaign with $250M just congratulated himself for draining the swamp and announced, "The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over."

You can't make this up.

Musk didn't invent Tesla,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent SpaceX,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent Starlink,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent Twitter,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent Trump,... he bought him.

This is what these people don’t understand! God even talked about these same people in the book yall cherish so much. You are not on the right of God. You are an “ITE”

Firing terrific people like Gregg seems to be how Trump gets off. Watching him say “You’re FIRED!” on reruns of The Apprentice — I never watched the show when it was on live — you can tell he gets a sexual thrill from the experience. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

People don't shed many tears when the IRS gets smaller.

But I want you to understand the game here. The 5,000 people Trump is laying off are those who go after the billionaire/corporate tax cheats. The Trump/Musk plan is simple: make it easer for the super rich to not pay taxes.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec, whom Pete Hegseth brought on his trip to Europe, told CPAC that Trump isn’t violating the Constitution because “Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution.”

This is what fascism looks like.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest.

The result?

Those investigating his companies have been fired.

Cases against his companies have been dismissed.

The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

[Di'Rico L. Baker @DiRico_Rants]

Oh just call us the fucking n word already, because firing a highly qualified black man to replace him with a white guy so under qualified that he needed a waiver is the definition of racism. Fuck you.
