P.S.

“Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?” the Secretary of State asked. https://t.co/SmhtSv0OgP

I've spent the day listening to arguments from House managers and testimony from House hearings about the importance of supporting Ukraine as a fledgling democracy against the predation of Russia. Is this really the way a U.S. Secretary of State should talk? Ukraine doesn't matter because some Americans can't find it on a map? Or is it because it has blown up in the Administration's collective face? Is it because Ukraine has exposed Trump for the incompetent fraud he is? Whatever the explanation is, the exposure of corruption and incompetence goes on.

"Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?" is an interesting thing for Mike Pompeo to tell a reporter shortly before he visits Ukraine.

Wow. @NPR's @NPRKelly just now on @npratc says @SecPompeo was furious about being questioned about Ukraine in her interview. Took her into his office, cursed at her, dropping f-bombs, made her point to Ukraine on an unmarked map (she did). It's just...shocking.

Garcia-Navarro puts it too mildly.

Wonder what might embolden this behavior? Fish rots from the head 🐠 https://t.co/pbDZWnhHWR

Yup. At least Kissinger never cracked like this.
