Q: "It's not just Trump, we also heard from Elon Musk saying Zelenskyy has gone too far. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war?" Zelenskyy: "Because these people can't find a key to how to stop Putin. Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others..."

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

These demons are doing EXACTLY what they said they'd do - & anyone who voted for them- or for any republican in the last 12 years- is complicit. The timing of this on light of the Cornell revelation- further removing protections against sexual assault. Unbelievable. And yet, totally on brand.
