“.. There’s no point in deceiving ourselves: Trump now sounds little different than Vladimir Putin in how he justifies the conflict—and in how much power he has claimed for himself to dictate America’s participation in it.”

I can’t stand all this crap reporting about Trump looking for “exit ramps” or a “quick end” to the war he started with Iran. Do people think we can just peace out and everything will be fine? We just bombed a large nation and killed a slew of civilians. They’re not going to just let it go. FFS.

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

Last night, the President made a mockery of the affordability crisis, and failed to acknowledge how his tariffs are making it worse.

These tariffs are a tax on Maine people, they're unconstitutional, and they have to stop.

I'm heading to the Senate floor in a few moments to lay out the detailed story of ICE abuse - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens with impunity, disappearing legal immigrants. And why we should not fund ICE until they stop terrorizing our communities.

I truly hope that House Republican leadership protecting a sexual predator like Rep. Tony Gonzales for the rest of the year ends up costing them 5 more seats in Nov. They should be asked about this relentlessly every single day until he’s gone.

Why will Trump & Republicans get their asses handed to them in November? This. This right here is why Trump & Republicans will get their asses handed to them in November.👇

SPANBERGER: “His reckless trade policies have forced 🇺🇸 families to pay $1,700+ each in tariff costs. Even though the supreme court struck these tariffs down, the damage has been done. Meanwhile, the president is planning for new tariffs, another massive tax hike on your family.”

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Mind blown about the early vote in Texas. TX Dems may outvote the GOP for the 1st time in a midterm primary since 2002! This indicates they're well on their way to having higher primary turnout nationally & since 06 the party with higher primary turnout won the House every time.”

TikTok, Donald. Another one bites the dust. I am fine with Democrats going down over Epstein. And Republicans.
