EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.
The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.
The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.
His war drove up the price of oil just in time for Bessent to wave sanctions on Russia so their war machine is funded bigly. There's nothing quite like making sure an enemy has $ to use against you.
I am seriously, seriously wondering how many GOP politicians are doing a very careful calculus on their political future right now. They're facing a no-win scenario, and have to choose the path of least damage. If they don't, things will be far worse for them, and for all of us.
Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
1-"It’s not okay for grown adults to believe the United States wages wars to promote humanitarian interests and bring freedom and democracy to oppressed populations.
It’s not okay for grown adults to believe that US soldiers fight and die to protect their country and its citizens.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.
Keep it going...

Trump - July 27, 2016.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” And then said - The press would “probably reward you.”
Repurposed:
Russia, you’re listening. We hope you’re able to find the Epstein files. The free world might reward you.
How dare her!! 🧐🤨
"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
WELKER: Why is Trump helping Russia in this moment?
WALTZ:I wouldn't characterize it that way
WELKER: How else would you describe easing oil sanctions?
WALTZ: It's common sense to allow oil sitting on ships to go to India
WELKER: Russia will be getting that money as it wages its war in Ukraine
It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Spotted in Nashville this week…
