Who decided it should be on American media? Not Zelenskyy: that would be the White House’s choice. They wanted to double up on him and bully him. So it would look better when they give him nothing in return: they could say he was β€œnot cooperative.”

When he already HAS said thank you many times. Since Zelenskyy would not kiss the ring, Trump kicked him out. Zelenskky has more integrity in his little finger than Trump has in his little hands.

Zelenskyy is dressed for the warlike times he is in. Suits are pretentious costumes: what matters is what comes out of the mouths of the clowns wearing them. Dumb question from the peanut gallery.

Trump is ill informed, and doesn’t care, so ling as he can push someone around and shake them down. πŸ˜’

β€Ž5 Calls: Contact Your Congress β€Ž**As seen on MSNBC...**

Call your senators office. Be polite. Tell them how much you support them.

Ask them to end regular order on senate floor, stop everything from proceeding.

Stop the Elon Musk takeover of the treasury department.

Book burning?
If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives:
Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could.
That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone.

Trump administration fires Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan The Trump administration ousted Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan, who is the first woman to lead a branch of the U.S. military.

ADM Linda Fagan was the first woman leader of a U.S. Military branchβ€”she rightfully stood up for victims of sexual assault & bolstered recruitment for the Coast Guard.

Trump's firing her for no real reason as far as I can tell. It's an outrage & bad for our military. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
