1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

"We said to him, 'You can do whatever you want to Russia, don't hit the refineries' ... And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He can do whatever he wants, but he can't do that." Trump would be much less angry if Ukraine had, say, bombed a building full of schoolchildren.

Blaming Zelensky for his fuck up with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is so on brand for the whiney baby. He’ll betray every ideal and what America stands for so long as people don’t blame him.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
