The Ukraine protests succeeded, President Zelenskyy announced a new draft law to protect the independence on anticorruption institutions in Ukraine as per the protestor’s demands. This is what true leadership looks like.

I'll say it over and over.

I do not believe in gate keeping.

I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.

I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.

Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

Mao's Great Leap Forward led to 50 million deaths, but 50 years later the Chinese economy is stronger than ever. Could the same thing work here?

"America should be run like a business" makes perfect sense—if you don't think about it.

Not only does the government provide services and resources that do not easily map to the business world’s profit/loss framework, but it's also designed to be a corrective force to the excesses of business.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

These are the 18 members of the Tr^mp Administration that were on the Signal chat, including the Treasury Secretary (why??), Steve Witkoff (who was physically in Moscow inside the Kremlin meeting with Putin) and Joe Kent (non Senate confirmed white nationalist). They all need to resign. NOW!

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans:

1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk.

2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.
Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

No. Now is not the time to play dead.

The Democrats have already played dead for too many years.

60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry.

Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.
