Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.
This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Today wasn’t a meeting—it was an Oval Office ambush, and it was planned.
Zelenskyy has thanked the U.S. and its president dozens of times. Everyone knows that—including Trump. But gratitude was never what he wanted; he wanted a spectacle.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

The chaos of Trump's first month in office is no accident. This gutting of the federal government and impounding of Congressionally allocated funds was laid out years ago by Russell Vought, Trump's OMB director and Project 2025 architect. Todd Beeton looked at his core beliefs for The Big Picture.

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded.
Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on.
