Let’s be clear, Flávio Bolsonaro: Trump may welcome you here, but he doesn’t speak for the American people. We didn’t invite you, and we don’t welcome you.
There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Is it bad when the opposition party runs ads pointing out the president endorsed you?
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 2w agoSpoiler alert: NO!
THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 2w agoRepublican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine.”
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoTrump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine."
In case you didn't see the actual headcount, Trump drew 2,567 attendees to an arena that holds 9,000 to 10,000 people in Northern Kentucky on Saturday. 🤣🤣🤣
Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.
"Destructive, thoughtless, and selfish" would be descriptive.
Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · 2w agoTrump started an illegal war, prices are through the roof, Americans are hurting, & yet he lays awake thinking about how to screw our DC neighbors & take over their public parks. Out of touch doesn’t even begin to describe it.

JD, you need to look in the mirror, dude. You made up your life, then insulted Appalachia and published a book about it!

WATCH— @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “We’re often told the only way to tackle the debt is on the backs of working people… not true. We can close billionaire tax loopholes + end this disastrous war… The debt exploded the last 30 years because of tax cuts for the rich and forever wars.”
Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦
Follow-up question: Were you dropped on your head as a child?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoKARL: You've been a strong supporter of Ukraine & voted for sanctions on Russia. What do you make of Trump's plan to buy Russian diesel? EMMER: Well, it's another example of our president thinking out of the box. He's listening to the American people. They're hurting. He's the president of peace.
They have been dealing secretly with Putin for weeks over this. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 3w agoThe very first shipment of 300K tons of Russian diesel—carried by the tanker Minerva Zen, which left St. Petersburg on September 22—arrived on the US East Coast less than 24 hours after the deal was formally announced.
What if the American people are NOT on Putin's side? Does that count for anything? I pray that Ukraine can survive until we - not they - elect a new president who understands what allies are.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w ago“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side
Putin throws lifeline to try to save Trump in the midterms. In return, American dollars go to Russia and get put toward killing innocent Ukrainians. Trump/Russia right out in the open. www.dailymail.com/news/article...
Putin throws Trump midterm lifeline as Russia agrees to supply diesel
Donald Trump announced today that Vladimir Putin has agreed to supply the US with hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel.

The thing I’ll say, having been an advisor for the Obama admin, and chairing the tech council for his foundation, this is *exactly* how he asked us to carry things out where we disagreed. He always asked us to build on the work & do *better*, and strongly supported folks taking that exact approach.
