As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

Boykin: Vance didn’t even know enough about the topic to be having the discussion. When Zelenskyy asked him if he’s ever been to Ukraine, he said no, he’s seen it on TV. Are you kidding me? Seeing it on TV is your excuse for being able to lecture him while he’s in the middle of a war.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.
Omg. This is a thread. Every one should be appalled. 1/5

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 Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things:

1. The US is not a trusted ally

2. Zelensky is a hero

McFaul: But we keep talking about Trump wants to do a deal to end the war. I'm not so sure that's true. I think he wants to do a deal with Putin. And the Ukraine thing is kind of a sideshow.

Generally I would say stay away, but this is compelling.
All the "Don't show up" folks need to think harder about what that will look like on TV: Trump. Beaming behind him, Vance and Johnson. In the room, wall-to-wall GOP toadies. That is not a win for Dems, nor is some "alternative SOTU" gimmick that won't be on TV. The answer isn't always "Unsubscribe."
A lot of people seem to think that a half-empty room would be incredibly dramatic. It would not be. Trump would give his speech to endless applause while Democrats sit at home hoping that cameras occasionally cut to empty chairs, which are not of dramatic interest. To fight, you have to show up.

Trump bullied Romanian officials into releasing the Tate brothers (indicted there for sex trafficking) and promptly flew them to a Florida courthouse. Not to be charged, of course, but so they could file a defamation suit against one of the women who reported them for assaulting and imprisoning her.
