@MariaHill And our presence on the world stage takes another hit.

International diplomatic relations are an important job of the White House and neither Trump nor Vance are capable of handling the job.

These actions undermine the credibility of the U.S. and our ability to impact not just this situation but many others around the world.

I’m all for community organizing, but we can’t community organize around this kind of thing.

National elections matter.

Here is a picture of Sir Winston #Churchill visiting the White House during the Second World #War. I wonder if anyone would have dared to criticise his outfit?

Why do we have pathetic journalists criticising #Zelensky for not wearing a suit?

#Trump #Vance #Ukraine #Putin #Russia

#Zelensky:

“Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you (at)POTUS, Congress, & the American people. Ukraine needs just & lasting peace, & we are working exactly for that.”

Unprovoked, the man was berated on live international broadcasts by 2 ignorant bullies. He maintained poise & restraint while attempting to educate #Trump & #Vance & they kicked him out of the White House in feigned indignation.

Still, he swallows his pride & does what #Ukraine needs.

'In Texas, the Alice Independent School district sent out this notice to parents saying the school busses for extra-curricular activities could be stopped at highway checkpoints in and out of the Valley, and boarded by US Border Patrol . Undocumented children would be removed from the bus, detained and quite possibly deported.The district was thinking of setting up a chaperone vehicle to accompany the bus so any detained children would not be alone.

I can't alt-text this because it is more than the character limit. This is a screenshot of the letter from the School District.

But #Trump himself did not speak to that issue when he signed the proclamation issuing the #pardons, & it has left his own admin & the courts struggling to divine what was in his head…. [💩]

Asst US Atty Blackwell said the #DOJ’s understanding of Trump’s #pardon had *evolved* in recent wks — but she did not say how or why. She said this shift was the reason DOJ had moved in recent days to drop a slew of other cases against #Jan6 defendants who were on the hook for other federal #felonies.

Somebody hacked the TVs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the US today to play this video on a loop.

They couldn’t figure out what to do so they sent staff to turn off the TVs, but other staff started turning them back on.

Timothy Snyder : “The amount of US aid to Ukraine, a country of forty million people fighting alone the largest war since 1945, is less than half of the personal wealth of a single US taxpayer, Elon Musk. In fact, the increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years.”
