Aaron - with the exception of maybe MAGA, I can’t imagine what we saw today didn’t rock everyone to their core. Full respect to you - in the face of something this little community knows you have opinion on and hit you right where it hurts, you remained unbiased covering it. It’s your mission to do this the way you are doing it and that’s why we stand with you and your family and Ukraine. 💙
Thank you for reporting and keeping us in front of what is really happening. We support you and your family, and very importantly, we fully support the people of Ukraine and their leader full of integrity and courage,Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Stay strong. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 We are stronger together, united against evil.
What happened in the Oval Office today was not just an embarrassment; it was a national disgrace. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance treated President Zelensky—an ally leading his nation in a fight for survival—like a subordinate, demanding submission instead of showing leadership. They expected him to grovel, to thank them profusely, and to make concessions that would have handed Ukraine’s future over to Russia. When he refused, they responded with rage, bullying, and open contempt. This wasn’t diplomacy. This was an authoritarian power play by a man who has made it clear that he admires dictators more than democratic leaders.
The fact that Trump had a Russian state media reporter in the room while barring major Western press outlets only makes this debacle more disturbing. His administration has abandoned any pretense of supporting democracy and is now fully aligned with Putin’s interests. Meanwhile, our allies around the world have taken notice—they see what many Americans still refuse to admit: that Trump is a liability, that America under his leadership cannot be trusted, and that they will have to move forward without us. This is a catastrophic shift in global power, one that weakens democracy and emboldens autocrats everywhere.
If you are horrified by what happened today, you cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. Speak out, write to your representatives, support Ukraine however you can. Elections have consequences, and if we allow Trump and his enablers to regain power, we are handing over not just Ukraine, but America’s credibility, security, and moral standing. We must fight back—before it’s too late.
Sorry to hear it. Funny I think we each feel we are the only one feeling so low; but we are in fact feeling exactly the same. Exactly day in and day out thru this journey.
I’ve been crying for you, Zelensky, and all of Ukraine today. This is not democracy. I am so disappointed to be classified as an american. I will continue to stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦🫶🏻
I feel ya! It’s become embarrassing! But, as women, we need to get out of this space and do something about it! The first thing would be to change your id if you are married and took your husband’s name. They are going to pass the SAVE act because the Dems don’t have the numbers and if you want to vote in the future, it’s what you’ll have to do
You are so amazing thank you for what you do. Today was hard for a lot us but I imagine truly difficult for all Ukrainians. Just know that here in Canada I stand with Ukraine and Zelenskyy. I agree united we stand alone we fall.
Good evening, Aaron. I just became a paid subscriber. I felt like I was stealing from you. I’ve been listening to you for only one short month, and cannot adequately express my deep appreciation for you. It broke my heart last night when I read that you were already going to come back tonight or tomorrow to do your live. Please, Aaron, remember, you don’t owe us anything except your own health and mental health. Never feel, I implore you, to feel like you must. That, right there, is what will lead to burn out; that’s why we need you healthy and all ways.
I am Pacific standard time. Can you please tell me what time your live is, and telling me in eastern standard time is just fine as I can figure that out with no issue
Be blessed, our friend, thank you again for ALL that you do
Aaron, we stand with you, your family and the people of Ukraine 💙
