President Trump is complaining about his “purposefully distorted” portrait in the Colorado State Capitol. In 2018, to embarrass Republicans who hadn’t been able to raise money for the portrait’s commission, Democrats put up a portrait of Vladimir Putin in its place. #copolitics

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Russia’s invasion was illegal and USA promised to defend Ukraine. We need to keep our word!
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This Musk/Chainsaw chaos is no way to lead a country.
This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Another example of Trump/Musk policy killing people around the world.

In the Thai-Myanmar border migrant camp Umpiem Mai, home to more than 10,000 displaced people, staff departure triggered by USAID cuts, forced sick patients to return home and multiple patients, relying on oxygen support, died.

If Trump and Republicans are interested in growing America and adding more states, why don’t we start with Puerto Rico and D.C.?

C’mon Republicans, that gets the U.S. to 52 and it’ll be a lot easier to incorporate them. Plus, no allied nations sovereignty is threatened. Seems like a win-win.
