U.S. Pauses All Military Aid to Ukraine The U.S. decision comes days after a contentious meeting between Trump and Zelensky at the White House.

God save the Ukrainian people. And if you don’t believe in God plant that the EU can rise to the occasion. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Even more today because this awful man is now blaming others for a terrible accident, after he made air travel less safe by firing heads of TSA, Coast Guard & gutted aviation safety committee

Racism proudly on display at the "white" White House.

A master class in how to display a lack of leadership and/or empathy.

This most recent missive from President Chump is at worst racist and at best monumentally stupid. But one thing it is certainly not is presidential. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Michael Fanone live on CNN: "This is what I'd say to Stewart Rhodes: Go fuck yourself"

It feels like my party can't find its way out of a paper bag right now. And maybe that's good because I feel like hiding my head in a paper bag right now - ashamed that this is my country.
