No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.
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

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party.
They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Last time Trump was President, my dad was still alive. His diary entries from the time are full of outrage. I'm glad he's not here for this round, even though that means I'll never meet him. Knowing even just this little bit about him, though, gives me a cone of light to stand in. Thanks, Dad.

Several people have asked if anyone has done a survival guide for federal employees — a collection of resources, links, advice, etc. If not hopefully some people knowledgeable about federal employee rights will do it.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”
"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.
