Trump’s peace negotiations have already gone down in history as the deadliest years for Ukraine’s civilian population since the start of the full-scale invasion.

"So there it is, the morbid phenomenon of late Trumpism on full display: Smearing a survivor of child sexual abuse; running an ad featuring a primary enabler of the abuse; and complaining that some decent people in his party are offended by this." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-monste...

If there were a prize for deliberately prolonging a war, Trump would be Putin's top rival for it.

The question is: Why did Trump derail peace talks?

We must protect our historic democracy from devolving into government-by-creepy-billionaire. By the people, for the people, of the people. www.politico.com/live-updates...

On November 3rd, 36 states will elect their next governor. The outcome of these races will make a real difference in the lives of millions of people — but only if you vote. So join me in electing @demgovs.org: democraticgovernors.org

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Americans see this for what it is - President Trump is abusing his power to go after political opponents weeks before an election.

Nice to be reminded that America has other voices besides the loud, toxic ones from the administration.

VERY BIG TOP NEWS TODAY 🔝 🔥 Novoshakhtinsky oil terminal in Rostov on fire! ⚡️ Samara LVDS Hit Again Today ✈️ Overnight, drones and balloons detained over 300 flights in Moscow. 🚆 Governor of the Rostov region writes about the damaged railway bridge.

When South African jurist Navi Pillay won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, she happened to be at a conference at the Nuremberg Court in Germany, where the landmark trial of Nazi leaders almost 80 years ago laid the foundations for modern international law. https://cnn.it/4rZ8LvN

Is Social Security a "Ponzi scheme?" That's what the top Republican on the Budget Committee thinks. So I asked people in Seattle outside of the Social Security office what THEY think.

Today marks three years since Hamas perpetrated the October 7 terrorist attack that killed nearly 1,200 Israelis, took 251 more hostage, and set off a chain of events that those in the Middle East — and back home in Michigan — are still grappling with.

Declaring war on Chicago wasn't normal. Inciting treason and encouraging an active adversary to bomb Southern California isn't normal. Who's next? A President hellbent on going after "the enemy within" is a threat to us all.

Deranged and indefensible.

Danish artist Jens Galschiøt unveiled a sculpture depicting a naked US President Donald Trump surrounded by golf equipment. It was unveiled on the grounds of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg.

De Niro: When that coward, that fucking piece of shit Donald Trump tries to take our voice and power away. What do we tell him? Your fucking hands off our vote

Sobering words from the German intelligence services - “We must not sit back and assume that a possible Russian attack would come in 2029 at the earliest. We are already under fire today.” For deterrence now we must take the necessary decisions now. www.euractiv.com/news/german-...

While claiming to fight fraud, the Trump administration is pardoning fraudsters who donated to his campaign. Watch @repyassansari.bsky.social break down Trump's pay-to-play corruption racket.

Almost every evil in America is caused by, linked to, or celebrated by the Republican Party.

The Bible actually does have something to say about this: Exodus 20:16: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Families are still trying to recover from the trauma of Trump's aggression on our streets. Children are trying to forget the images of armed, masked agents in their neighborhoods and childcare centers. The cruelty and depravity are real and ongoing.

Trump promised a “golden age” for the economy. Instead, Americans got “a golden age of corruption”—where families pay more while Trump and his friends get richer. @hickenlooper.senate.gov

Why is a Russian oligarch footing the bill for Donald Jr.'s wedding? Is the Trump family not making enough money off their crypto grift and other schemes? Do they need to sell out American interests to Russia for a cheap buck as well?

Why did a Russian oligarch close to Putin fund Trump Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas? Umar Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the President’s son. What did he get in return? We need answers.

Americans are being scammed out of billions of dollars while Trump is using crypto to turn the presidency into a profit generating machine. The Clarity Act’s weak rules & carveouts would supercharge fraud & undermine law enforcement.

Relax, it's just Air Force One repurposed as a birthday shuttle - barely a rounding error against the defense budget. Sure, "affairs of state" now include football cake, but why get worked up over a few hundred thousand taxpayer dollars when the family's clearly having fun? Priorities, people!

Republicans have perfected the old art of lying; they have, in a sense, added a new variant - the most diabolical variant imaginable - namely: the "lying into truth".

Climate issues raising family costs: the cost of insurance for the typical homeowner jumped by 24 percent between 2021 and 2024, according to research by the Consumer Federation of America. Free-to-pollute isn’t free to you.

In Connecticut, the ripples of pain and trauma from 9/11 are endless. Kids who grew up without a mom or dad. Communities that lost countless neighbors in an instant. Scores of first responders who returned home with wounds that endured. Here, we will never forget.

He promised to drain the swamp. Now 60% of Americans recognize that he’s bringing more corruption to Washington instead. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/democratic-polling-corruption-2026-election_n_6a9f234fe4b03901c958f7f3?origin=home-latest-news-unit

With the friendly support of the Trump administration and right-wing networks from the US. Who would have thought that fascism would return to Germany with the help of Europe's former liberators.

Just sickening! So much butt-licking toward a literal war criminal. Your stories will be of trying to force the victim of horrible aggression to surrender while cozying up to the biggest monster of our time.

In a world of Donalds, be a Taylor.

6 months in, Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing. That’s what I call an abject failure.

Mark Carney: "This fall we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership"

Fascism in its many transnational variations does not hesitate to kill its own citizens...To be sure, the new wannabe fascists like Trump etc have not demonstrated the willingness to reach the mass killing stage of traditional fascism but there is nothing normal about paramilitary/state killings

WATCH @gallego.senate.gov on Trump’s trade war with Canada: "This is the dumbest administration this country has ever seen and we're all going to pay for it."

The threat to women’s sports has been from loser men all along

Under RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz's leadership, Medicare rolled out a pilot program that allows AI companies to profit from denying seniors their health care. They are literally incentivized to RIP health care away from seniors. I’m fighting to END this program.

Meiselas: This is a breaking news alert. There is no trade deal between Canada and the United States. As I’ve always said, you can’t do any deal with bad people. And Donald Trump is a fraud, and the people he surrounds himself with are frauds and bad people.

Donald Trump has Made America Corrupt.

Endorsing political candidates is now one of the duties of U.S. attorney general, apparently.

By passing the Russia Sanctions bill, we say to the people of Ukraine: you are not alone. And we say to Vladimir Putin: You will not conquer Ukraine; you will not defeat this free, brave people, who are turning the tide against your blood-thirsty aggression.

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.

Senate Republicans have handed Trump an excuse on a silver platter to keep up his pervasive, breathtaking corruption.   If you want to wipe out corruption, you can’t have the president’s personal attorney as the Attorney General. You don’t need a PhD in political science to know that.

It was a grave mistake for the Senate to approve Todd Blanche as the next Attorney General. If there is ever a moment in history when we need an Attorney General above reproach, who is dedicated to ending corruption, it is right now.
