He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown.
What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.
Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.
None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Elon Musk built an empire off $38 billion in taxpayer money.
Now, he's slashing everything from health care to veterans' services to further line his own pockets.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
Wrong. You work for us. And we won't let you kill journalism.

That's why you don't put people who haven't worked at the Justice Department in charge of the Department, or people who haven't worked at the FBI in charge of the FBI.

Dan Bongino, a right-wing podcaster, election denier, and conspiracy theorist, was picked to serve as the FBI’s new deputy director—a position traditionally held for a career FBI agent. But those people are being targeted by Kash Patel for working on the J6 cases.

Trump said he'd "love and cherish" Medicaid.
Hours later, he endorsed the House Republican budget that cuts Medicaid by *hundreds of billions of dollars.*
Republicans are betraying the middle class so they can give trillions in tax giveaways to the ultra-rich.
Hard to believe that Kash Patel lied and misled FBI agents about something as important as this.

Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Forget Bonhoeffer. This is the Niemöller Moment.
Change your mind. Get others to change their minds. Stand up. Speak out.

I really don't want to hear dithering wonderings about a "Bonhoeffer moment."
Just freaking act like it is - RIGHT NOW - the Martin Niemöller moment.
Ancient Greek helmet.
German folk art Noah’s Ark set.
Fernand Léger tapestry.
18th century English crystal, eglonisé, and gilded candelabra.
