My grandfather and the Greatest Generation didn’t fight in World War II to see our country side with murderous thugs like Putin. This is a disgrace.
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.

What a disgusting display: Vance proves he's an asshole and Trump proves he's in Putin's pocket (again). Watch the video: their behavior is shameful and it's dangerous.
A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for U.S. support.

Mike Slater survived four tours of duty as a US Army infantryman, risking his life in Iraq and Afghanistan. But that wasn’t enough to spare him from the budget ax now being recklessly wielded by DOGE at federal employees.
‘A huge slap in the face’: DOGE fired this veteran from the VA with an email - The Boston Globe
He lost his job — helping war-scarred veterans in Central Massachusetts at the VA Veterans Center in Springfield — earlier this month.

The New Mexico congressional delegation is pleading with RFK Jr. to promote vaccination and provide other resources in the wake of the measles outbreak. Instead, Kennedy says that the death of a school-aged child as “not unusual”. He can’t get out of his anti-vax corner. His ego is paramount.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in.
If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place.
AP stands alone.
Sad but true.
