I’m old enough to remember when the Treasury Secretary would only weigh in on things related to the economy. And this is a good reminder of why that used to be true.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

Between Natalie Harp and now Zacharia, Trump is surrounding himself with women who believe some very strange things. If a friend told you Democrats are a bunch of “sick pedo cannibals,” you’ve back away slowly and seek professional help for her

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

I can’t help but notice that ICE keeps claiming that people it shoots were trying to ram the agents with a car, and then video keeps proving that’s a lie.

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt just days before unveiling a new space-travel policy. The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by the Trump admin's actions — and led by Elon Musk.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Yep, and the data I cite here shows Latinos breaking to Dems by 59-35. Take that along with Trump's abysmal 27% among them and the big spike in Latino early voting, and you have the ingredients for something big.

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,

Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court while simultaneously easing sanctions on Russia which is massacring Ukrainian civilians. A masterclass in criminality and corruption.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Trump announced a deal with Putin to sell 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel, potentially worth $7.24 billion, while easing US sanctions. The deal would boost Russia’s war finances and undermine Ukraine’s efforts to cut off revenues funding Russia’s invasion.

Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” and called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” #Ukraine
