Yes, Jimmy Carter owns one of these. It lasted six months, the second shortest in 75 years. Republicans own the other ten. What the squares do not show is the damage. George W. Bush's 2007 recession erased 8.7 million jobs. Donald Trump's 2020 COVID recession erased 21.9 million in two months.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

🖋️ “Impeach Trump for Threatening Veterans in Congress” hit 3,000 signers! 💬 Text SIGN PZHAOX to 50409

resist.botImpeach Trump for Threatening Veterans in CongressText SIGN PZHAOX to 50409 — I write with deep respect for our military, our veterans, and the rule of law. What happened this week requires Congress to act. This morning, President Trump called a group of military veterans in Congress “traitors” and said they should be “ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.” By mid-morning he escalated to: “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Their “crime,” in his eyes, was releasing a short video reminding active-duty military and intelligence personnel of their most basic legal duty: they must refuse illegal orders. This is settled law under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and established by precedent such as the Calley case. The Army Field Manual explicitly states that “superior orders” is not a defense for unlawful actions. The lawmakers Trump targeted are not fringe figures — they are veterans and intelligence officers. Senator Elissa Slotkin served with the CIA. Senator Mark Kelly served as a Navy captain. Representatives Deluzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow all served our country in uniform or intelligence roles. Their message was patriotic and rooted in military tradition, ending with the Navy’s famous line: “Don’t give up the ship.” I. The Chain of Command Is Already Under Strain This message was timely. Senior JAG officers have raised concerns that recent strikes on small boats near Venezuela may be extrajudicial killings. Eighty-plus non-combatant deaths could expose service members to criminal liability. Yet their legal objections were reportedly overruled — something that puts troops at risk and undermines trust in the chain of command. Meanwhile, Congress is asserting its War Powers Act responsibilities because the administration has conducted military operations for more than 60 days without authorization. Both parties are raising alarms. In this context, it is vital that service members are reminded of their legal obligations. Instead of respecting that, the President demanded arrests, trials, and executions. II. Threatening Veterans in Congress Is an Abuse of Power Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy — no liberal — clarified immediately: “There is no insurrection or sedition without the use of force. Disobeying an unlawful order is required.” The President is therefore calling for capital punishment for lawful speech that restates the controlling law governing the military. If any American citizen posted that a President should be hanged, the Secret Service would rightly investigate. Yet Trump is allowed to threaten sitting Members of Congress with death for fulfilling their constitutional duties. III. Why Congress Must Act A President who calls for the arrest and execution of veterans in Congress for reaffirming military law has violated the oath of office. This undermines civilian oversight of the military, destabilizes command integrity, and endangers the republic. For the sake of our service members, our Constitution, and our national security, I urge you to begin impeachment proceedings immediately.

Reagan once said, “OC is where the good Republicans go before they die.” He was right — they’re mostly gone now. Prop 50: YES 54.6%, NO 45.4%. The last gasp of Reagan & Nixon’s safe-space is gradually turning blue. California’s future is bold, diverse, and built by those who refuse to go backward.

When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary. Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million. In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million. We just passed three.

🛢️ Sanctions bite hardest when they’re aligned—and fail spectacularly when they aren’t. China’s Yulong refinery, blacklisted by the EU and UK, lifted its Russian crude imports to 400,000 barrels a day. US sanctions hit Russian sellers; Europe hit Chinese buyers. Between them, Yulong found a profit.
