President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.
He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

Zelensky is a hero and far more popular than either Trump or Vance. This is an embarrassing scandal for the White House that GOP members of congress should be forced to answer for as well.
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

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

In 2020, Trump said he'd "revoke schools' tax exemptions" for universities he didn't like.

Unfortunately the Roberts court has gotten more radical since then. Trump could direct the IRS to investigate universities.

Trump says he'll revoke schools' tax exemption for "indoctrination." He can't do that, can he?
There's no legal basis to the threat, but that doesn't mean it's harmless.
