    Watch now   EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Schiff Responds to Trump Oval Office Meltdown Watch our exclusive interview with Adam Schiff on the Meidas+ Substack Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Mar 1   Today was one of those days that will live in infamy. Donald Trump disgraced the Oval Office yet again, this time using it as a stage to undermine Ukraine and cozy up to Vladimir Putin. With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting right there, Trump—flanked by his Kremlin-parroting sidekick, JD Vance—repeated Russian propaganda and questioned why Zelenskyy dared to criticize Putin. The leader of a sovereign nation fighting for its very existence had to sit through an American president echoing Moscow’s talking points. Senator Adam Schiff just joined me on the MeidasTouch Network for an exclusive interview to break it all down, and his reaction was clear: This was an absolute betrayal, not just of Ukraine, but of every democracy around the world. Then, as if t...

The Bully-in-Chief Targets an Ally Zelenskyy resists and refuses to kiss the ring Dan Rather and Team Steady Mar 1 Credit: Getty Images We try not to react to every White House event involving the new president, as we like to take a little time to digest what has happened and provide thoughtful analysis. But there’s not much to analyze about the president’s shocking behavior on Friday. It was a new low for American diplomacy in my lifetime. There are few words that are family-friendly enough to describe what happened. Embarrassing. Horrifying. Mortifying. People who witnessed or have watched Trump and JD Vance’s behavior toward a visiting head of state have said it made them everything from appalled to nauseous. Here’s what happened: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was scheduled to meet with Trump and Vance at the White House before a joint news conference and then a signing ceremony for a minerals-for-money deal. It never got past a one-sided shouting match in the Ova...

  Our President Is A Global Embarrassment 2.28.25 Ally Sammarco Mar 1   Happy Friday, folks. Welcome back to another edition of  Today’s American News , your source for news and analysis on the circus that is American politics and entertainment. Trump and Vance embarrass America by going back on promises and picking fight with Zelenskyy on live TV…  Welp, we should have seen this coming. During a live, joint press conference from the White House, Donald Trump once again did Russia’s bidding, going so far as to suggest Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was preventing peace in his country because he “hates” Putin, as if the Ukrainian leader sitting next to him shouldn’t hate the man who has killed hundreds of thousands of the people he serves. Zelensky, like French president Emmanuel Macron earlier this week, stood his ground, offering his American counterpart a history lesson on why Russians cannot be trusted to keep their word in any peace deal. It was a shocki...

TRUMP: EXPLOITING UKRAINE & NO ASSURANCE OF SECURITY? Today's disgusting scene Robert Reich Mar 1 Friends, Sorry to intrude on you again today, but it’s important. If you were shocked and disgusted by the scene in the Oval Office today, with Trump and Vance belittling and berating President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, you’re not alone. Fourteen Democratic governors have released a joint statement condemning what occurred: “Donald Trump and JD Vance used the sacred Oval Office to berate President Zelensky for not trusting Vladimir Putin’s word. Americans must protect our strong democratic values on the world stage instead of undermining President Zelensky’s work to fight for his nation and the freedom of his people after being invaded by Russia.” They speak for much of America. For more than three years, President Zelensky has courageously and nobly contained Putin’s aggression. Zelensky has maintained the morale of the people of Ukraine while diligently soliciting and gettin...
