This Oval Office ambush was as staged as Trump’s so-called assassination attempt.
Christiane Amanpour’s reaction to the Oval Office ambush has me shook. I feel like she’s seen it all.
I think she knows this was staged because Trump and Vance don’t want peace unless Putin gets it all.

Trump and Vance’s meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office today “gave the lie to any claim that this administration’s policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the United States, however misguided,” @davidfrum.bsky.social writes.

🚨Holy shit.
Trump has just launched a scathing attack on Zelenskyy.
He’s actually called him a dictator.
There can be no doubt: the President of the United States is now a Kremlin asset.

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

Attention, Denmark!
"Putin's Squads" call you to "repent before Russia" and ask Putin "to save Greenland and your Denmark" as "your onlu salvation is to turn to Russia. It is the light of the world."
What these women say may sound funny. But it's what many Russians think.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
