I believe in the America we tried to be before Trump. We weren't perfect but we were trying. Repubs in Congress are failing us. I'm horrified by what Repubs are allowing Trump to do to US, our allies & those who need our help. πŸ—½πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Fact checking this "long speech" is going to take a long time.

My heart goes out to all Canadians, especially to survivors and those closest to all victims of yesterday's horrific mass shootings in B.C.

OMG. πŸ™„ One of Trump's former college professors said he was the dumbest student he ever had and I'll bet even he wouldn't have expected Trump to warn Canada that China would terminate hockey.

We have the dumbest national leader on the planet. What did Trump think would happen when he imposed huge tariffs on Canada, threatened to annex the country, and treated the PM with
contempt? Canada would let him destroy their economy? They can live without us & Trump just forced them to prove it.

Cong #Republicans- Dems can't stop Trump destroying relationships w/ friends & allies w/out you. PLEASE pass veto proof legislation prohibiting #Greenland takeover, other threatened attacks & telling top mil brass T's orders to do so will be illegal; following orders risks severe UCMJ discipline.

Citizens of #Greenland, #Canada, all countries Trump is menacing, I'm so sorry. You're our friends & exemplary allies. This is a nightmare that doesn't go away when we wake up.

Hopefully, Repub majority in Congress will finally try to stop Trump &/ top military brass will refuse Trump's orders.

I propose boycotting Ford Motor Co. if worker who heckled Trump is fired. Trump has shown contempt for most Americans since taking office & worker took rare opp to tell Trump his opinion in manner that was no more disrespectful than Trump was of the worker & all Americans w/ incred crude response.

Venezuela is a sovereign country, not a non-state actor. It is not developing any offensive capabilities that would threaten US safety. There has been no argument to Congressβ€”the only entity that can declare warβ€”that the United States must undertake military operations. This is beyond illegal.

Asked if he should get a Nobel Peace Prize if he gets ceasefire between Iran & Israel, Trump said he should have gotten it for Kosovo (1994-95!) & Rwanda (1994! + since 2022 & still going!). Apparently he thinks he should get Nobel Peace Prizes for every conflict since the 90's. Such a strange man.

Thank you to the government and the people of Lithuania for the dignity and respect you showed our fallen soldiers.

Thank you, also, for the extensive assistance in the search for our soldiers by members of the Lithuanian, Polish and Estonian armed forces.

I understood Cong Repubs & Musk were firing fed employees, 130,000+ so far, & gutting govt programs/agencies/depts to offset tax cuts of $4 - $4.5 trillion. Now it's $5T.

We're slashing disaster aid, Medicaid, food programs, & MORE to give govt subsidies to ultra rich & $4T wasn't enough???!!!

@booker.senate.gov Congrats for breaking Strom Thurmond's record, now held by you, for the longest Senate speech in history!

Thurmond was filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957. YOU are fighting the destruction of our govt, our rights and Trump's attempt to overthrow our democracy. THANK YOU!

Trump is offloading more & more traditional U.S. govt responsibilities, while trying to control the operations of law firms and universities AND insisting he's going to take over Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, Gaza, and now power production in Ukraine.

This ALMOST couldn't be more f-ed up.

I called the local VA clinic today to make an appointment with my doctor. I selected the menu option to make an appointment. The system switched to ringing for a few seconds, skipping a beat and ringing again. After 30 minutes of this repeating ring, break pattern I gave up.

Thanks, Elon & Trump.

Most of us, except Trump's zombie base, hate Trump's tariffs & contemptuous treatment of Canadians & we don't want to take over your country. But Trump doesn't care what we want & Congressional Repubs won't oppose him.

We understand your feelings about us but would it be ok if we come visit?

Fmr Canadian Dep PM Chrystia Freeland said she blvs Americans don't think abt #Canada often & Canadians are sad & angry at Americans.

We're sad & angry too. Everyone I know thinks & talks abt Canada often, feel like you're family. Trump's talk of making Canada our 51st state is insane & awful.

Censor, purge, defund: how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook on science and universities I have mapped 35 of the Trump administration's attacks on science and universities to the authoritarian playbook - and consider what it means for attacks still to come

πŸ§ͺAre we paying attention? This is a good read. This has been tracking the assault on science. There is a significant pattern that is emerging. They are following in Victor Orban’s footsteps. #science

Thx to Trump/Musk, U.S. LAYOFFS EXCEED job losses during COVID.

STATE/LOCAL GOVT & PRIVATE SECTOR job losses haven't even hit yet.

Combine Trump destroying govt/jobs; helping Russia in Ukraine; destroying relationships w/ our allies w/ unwarranted tariffs, words & betrayal & U.S. MAY NOT SURVIVE.

Our allies SHOULD NOT deal w/ Trump if they can avoid it.

Trump acts like our & our allies' abusive spouse. If you obey or flatter him, he may back off but he'll slap you around within days when he again decides you're cheating "us."

Our idiots voted Trump in. You shouldn't have to suffer. Sorry.

I just saw we've lost more jobs than 6 mos BEFORE COVID. Trump plans 80,000 to be fired at VA, HALF IRS emp'ees, FIRING CIA, many more throughout fed govt. Non-fed job loss will be worse.

What is Trump doing & WHY are Republicans letting him do it?!!

It's time to do EVERYTHING you can to STOP TRUMP & CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS.

If I wanted RUSSIA to control my country I wouldn't have spent 9 years in the US Air Force and Air National Guard.

DEMOCRATS voted w/ REPUBLICANS to censure Al Green? Seriously?

EVERYONE SHOULD BE MAKING A SCENE. Repubs are cheering on Trump as he DESTROYS our economy, our relationships w/our EUROPEAN ALLIES; HELPING Putin destroy UKRAINE

TRUMP should have been censured NOT Green.

Montana and Iowa are considering bills to ban mRNA vaccines. Maybe other red states too, I’m not sure.

Any legislator who votes for these bills, and any governor who signs them, is guilty of mass murder. Just so we’re clear. πŸ§ͺβš•οΈ

I hope Canadians & Mexicans understand most Americans don't want Trump's tariffs any more than they do. He's been enamored of tariffs since the 1980's. Opposition by the public, even people in finance, seem not to move him. He may not get it until he damages all our economies. Sorry.
