It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Voting should be as easy as possible. If someone wants to make voting harder, they don't want to prevent fraud. They just don't want you to vote.

That being said, our ability to vote doesn't matter if we don't use it.

Protect your right to vote. Use your right to vote.

Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

NEW: Democrats sued the Trump administration to unveil its plans on whether it would deploy troops on election day.

The lawsuit comes after it allegedly ignored 11 of the DNC’s FOIA requests seeking such information.

Dandelions are an invasive, non-native plant. One way you can tell is that they attract honeybees—another non-native. Humans need to get over our bias to pick “helping that we can see.” Native insects either sleep or feed on spring ephemerals and tree pollen—where we pretty much don’t see them.

FLASHBACK: Six years ago, Donald Trump didn't want to wear a mask because it would smudge his makeup, so the Republican Party helped him kill a million Americans.

No one knows more about navigating the “real world” than a poor person. Which he would know, if he had ever actually met one.

"Republican leadership is currently blocking my bill to fully fund TSA. If Speaker Johnson allowed my bill to receive a vote, we could resolve this issue immediately. Instead, they are choosing to hold TSA officers and Americans' travel hostage to force Members of Congress to give even more money to ICE and CBP without the guardrails against abuse a vast majority of Americans want to see.
"After firing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week, over the weekend President Trump announced he would not sign any legislation until a Republican overhaul of federal elections was passed. Both President Trump and Republican leadership are responsible for the chaos at America's airports.
I encourage them to stop their partisan games, and pass my bill to fund TSA, along with FEMA, the Coast Guard, Secret Service, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the law-abiding components of Homeland Security while negotiations continue on ICE and CBP."

Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro introduced a standalone bill to fund TSA and other DHS agencies. Republicans are blocking it. Stop blaming Democrats for long airport lines and start demanding the solution that’s already sitting in Congress.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot dead by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Another U.S. citizen murdered by ICE.

Another ICE cover story that doesn't match the footage and evidence.

One year later, and now the truth is coming out.

ICE said Martinez accelerated and struck an agent, claiming self-defense.

But body-cam SAYS NO. We asked www.PAXIS.com to break it down:

• Car moving slowly
• No aggressive acceleration
• Nearly stopped when shots fired
• Passenger: the car was “crawling”

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.
