Howard Lutnick is worth around 2 billion dollars. But you poor people and old people who don't get a Social Security check this month need to shut up because you're really harshing his mellow.
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.”

This is where we are now. The vocal, unhinged tourist grifter minority has made it so a team can’t even celebrate their launch. Because it has an actual historical figure that happens to be Black.

The same ATL Fed projected LAST MONTH that the economy was going to GROW over 2% in Q1. They just CHANGED THEIR PROJECTION last week because of how Trump is handling the economy. Hassett knows this better than most, so he's intentionally lying.

AOC says Republicans are "very sensitive" and "their feelings are very easily hurt," which is why they censured Al Green today. The condescending tone of her calling them snowflakes is just great. 🤣

You could just feel yesterday how much Trump sincerely wanted to stop people in Ukraine from being killed. You could tell that his only motivation is to stop the bloodshed. It really seemed like his main concern - not his ego, minerals, past grievances, or his love for Putin.

Their next move to cover up their failures, from Republicans in Congress and the Trump Admin, is to try and change the way that things are measured. Watch.

Elon Musk was born with a silver spoon up his ass. His dad owned an emerald mine in South Africa. Of course, he believes Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. He's never been poor or broke a day in his life.

This has to be right. Starmer's summit on Sunday has become a potentially decisive moment. If Europeans don't throw their weight behind Ukraine and behind a massive and immediate increase in their defence efforts (& damn the deficits), Europe will find itself at the mercy of Putin & Trump.
Can't see how Europe and the US can reconcile frankly. The reception to Zelensky among EU leaders vs this doesn't seem bridgeable. This is going to play awfully in every chancellery across Europe. A big split is coming
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

I remember the wonderful days when such displays of unity were led by the United States, not aimed at it.
In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.
