President Trump’s reckless and disgraceful conduct in today’s meeting with President Zelensky is yet another alarming sign of his abandonment of America’s longstanding foreign policy principles.

Make no mistake: this Trump budget that the GOP House passed by themselves is nothing short of dangerous. Slashing a budget that rips healthcare away from 36 million Americans while adding $4 trillion to our national debt is no way of improving life in our country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...
