The only reason Trump is president is Putin wants Ukraine. Everything else is criminals after their "take" since Trump doesn't care about this country. I wrote this piece in 2017. "Trump team collusion with Russia? Ukraine connection may hold key." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... via @usatoday

Trump team collusion with Russia? Ukraine connection may hold key.

Robert Mueller will find interesting evidence in the shifting stories of just how pro-Russia tweaks to the GOP platform came about.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

Opinion | Putin Wins the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office Spectacle

Vice President Vance starts a public fight that only helps Russia’s dictator.

Fascist dictators can only become fascist dictators by enslaving their people with poverty, illness, violence, and terror. It’s how they overcome our resistance. That’s why Trump, Elon, and Putin are doing this to us. They can only win by Making America Weak, Sick, and Poor.

Trump & Vance are monsters. Just absolutely shocking to bring one of the leaders of the free world into the Oval Office and dress him down to demand he thank Trump for Trump's greatness, while this actual leader tries to protect capitalistic democracy from Trump's flailing autocratic petrostate boss

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

Zelenskyy: During the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have a nice ocean and don't feel it now, but you will feel it in the future. Trump: You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel...You know you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

this is precisely the correct energy. If Republicans are going to hide from their constituents while voting to slash medicaid and give billionaires tax cuts, Democrats need to take the fight directly to them and their constituents.

I officially challenge all of Wisconsin’s Congressional Republicans to defend their vote to slash Medicaid and cut taxes for the ultra-rich. Let’s do it in a town hall format for maximum transparency!

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".
