I see we've made it to the leaking text messages portion of a narcissistic spiral-out.

I had a friend (had, not still have, fuck that guy) who used to do that with his ex-gfs when they finally would split. Mostly harmless texts that for some reason he took as proof he was wronged? Seems the same 🤷🏼‍♂️

Did you ever think that the countries were going to just hand over that money to us. Only really stupid people would not have figured that out a long time ago.

Trump appears to have leaked a private text message from Emmanuel Macron.

Why would any leader ever trust someone who leaks their private conversations?

🇺🇸❗️🇺🇦 A meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy in Davos is not planned; the reluctance to hold it comes from the White House, - Politico.

The leaders of the "coalition of the willing" will meet with Trump in Davos. They will ask him to support the security guarantees for Ukraine developed in Paris.

At the same time, the White House has not yet scheduled a bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy.

"Zelenskyy is always willing to meet with Trump because he believes the benefits outweigh the costs and that if he doesn't engage with him, others will," the source said.

Another promise broken. We have to stop taking Trump's claims at face value and start looking at the results. This Administration isn’t delivering for American workers.

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.

The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.

We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.
