‘Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you.’

Thank you @cnn.com for playing into the BS of Pumpkinhead and Vance, fools who made an issue of whether Ukraine “thanked” the US and you just amplified it. Today’s insane /disgusting stunt at the White House has nothing to do with whether Ukraine is appreciative of the US as its ally.
Zelensky has thanked the United States on numerous occasions since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 – expressing gratitude to Trump and Biden, to members of Congress from both parties, to US defense companies and their employees, and to the American people.

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.
If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

@schumer.senate.gov I’d love to see the Democratic Party do more than just sit on the sidelines and watch the bonfire . It’s an incredibly ineffective way to lead.
