It's time to insist that Trump and Vance resign before they do more harm. They have endangered and embarrassed the US and lost all credibility with our long-standing allies (not those they stood with at the UN this past week). They are the ones threatening WWIII.

Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vance’s speech at the Munich conference “has gone down well in Moscow.”
That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Donald Trump illegally fired 19 inspectors general.
The law requires notice to Congress and a case-by-case justification. It is not optional.
Congress must convene a bipartisan hearing to examine these unlawful acts and how they can be remedied. Immediately.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.
