Trump’s lawless federal agents are terrorizing our communities. I’m working to hold them accountable using every tool in the toolbox.
Our national parks and public lands are not a canvas for a president’s offensive vanity projects. Attempting to bypass Congress to put up a massive Arch de Trump on federal land is absurd and a slap in the face to every working family and Oregonian struggling to get by.
Americans deserve better.
Excellent way to run the world’s most powerful hegemony. No notes. All those ubermasculine MAGA men being tough.
Members of Congress are using the kind of hateful rhetoric about Muslims that was common in the early 2000s—but this time with a president who has encouraged it, David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic Daily. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.
Even @ms.now and its guests, who do a good job of conveying Trump’s ignorance and lunacy, aren’t calling for an immediate end to this war, or calling him unfit to serve, or calling for him to resign or be ousted. Why not?
I dissect Pete Hegseth's claim on 60 Minutes that his DoD "never target[s] civilians."⤵️
False: Think of the 156 people killed on boats in Caribbean.

This!
I'm with Liz.
She is a much better choice for a Nobel Peace Prize than either Bibi or Donald!
The man telling us that we will need to make sacrifices was worth $7,264,049 in 2018!!!!!!
Hey Kansas, on August 4 vote this POS out!

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
Congratulations to Shawn Harris, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran endorsed by VoteVets, on advancing to a runoff in #GA14!
The anniversary of #bloodysunday in Selma is about honoring the courage and power of the foot soldiers from that day in 1965, and recommitting to the fight for voting rights. On Sunday, I was honored to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with those brave foot soldiers…
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

We didn't go to war for any reason we can articulate, we didn't plan for the most obvious Iranian countermeasures that have been predicted for half a century, and we forgot an exit strategy for if the thing dragged on more than ONE WEEK.
It was literally "Trump wants to do Venezuela everywhere."
Police argue the Jan 6 plaque was mounted in a “hidden” location, no different than a basement storage room:

I second this!
TRUMP is starting to
throw all kinds of unrelated bullshit into his SAVE America Act. It's no longer just about voter ID
Now, he's planning on including anti-LGBTQ & parental rights bullshit still on the Project 2025 ToDo List
Theory: “The suspicion is that whatever Putin has on Trump is very, very bad. Epstein-related, maybe. It has to be something serious, because it’s not as if Trump is the kind of guy who just turns and grovels in the presence of any old brute.”
But I think is that kind of guy.
"If you support the troops, then you should be voting against funding this war so that we get our troops out of harm’s way..."
