WTF?
ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.
They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.

Remember when every MAGA influencer — and even some politicians — falsely claimed the House GOP budget framework included a ‘no tax on tips’ policy even though it was total bullshit?
Instead, Republicans are trying to cut funding for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits with a Continuing Resolution.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.
