I keep wondering exactly that. And it leads me to consider the possibility that they are giving in on purpose. They want to partner with russia to pillage together.

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? Its because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," Kaja Kallas said in an interview with AFP

🚨🚨 Apologies but what a bloody fucking horrific shitshow of a press briefing! I cannot with words express how much disgust and contempt I feel for the traitorous evil scumbags Donald Trump & JD Vance. And my respect & regard for Zelenskyy has never been higher- a true leader of the Western World.👇👇
newseye.bsky.social News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · Feb 28
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.

Lavrov says that all the world's troubles and misfortunes have originated from Europe.

So why do Russians strive so much to vacation there, send their children to study there, and buy property in Europe?

Den europæiske strategi tager ikke højde for den mulighed, at Trump ønsker et svagt og splittet Europa. Det svarer det til at have en ulv i fårefolden! De europæiske ledere bliver nødt til at stoppe med at håbe på, at “holde USA inde i Europa”! Min klumme👉🏻 www.altinget.dk/eu/artikel/j...

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.
Infographic titled “Judges reject Trump at an accelerating pace” with subtitle “Federal district court rulings against the administration.” The first bar chart, labeled “By month, %”, shows the percentage of federal district court rulings against the Trump administration: • February: 53.8% (7 out of 13) • March: 74.3% (26 out of 35) • April: 76.1% (51 out of 67) • May: 96.3% (26 out of 27) The second bar chart, labeled “By appointing party, %”, shows rulings against the Trump administration by the party of the judge’s appointing president: • Republican-appointed judges: 72.2% (26 out of 36) • Democratic-appointed judges: 80.4% (74 out of 92) Source: Bonica, Adam; Sen, Maya, 2025, “Common-space Measures of Judicial Ideology for Federal Judges (2024 update),” https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CK3EEL Note: Coding scheme details available at data4democracy.substack.com/p/when-judges-become-targets-judicial
