VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park
The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce.
When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing.
Disgraceful.
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.
Flávio Bolsonaro just lost in Brazil. Viktor Orban lost in Hungary. On Tuesday Benjamin Netanyahu will lose in Israel. Come next Tuesday we will win the midterms and take first step to destroying MAGA and putting Trump in prison! (That must be our goal)
Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump.
The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels.
In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.
Donald Trump has spent at least $45 BILLION on his Iran war.
$30 billion could've extended ACA tax credits for a year and kept premiums from skyrocketing.
$13 billion could've paid for Head Start for a year.
AND we'd still have money left over.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.
Today’s Letters from an American 🇺🇸 by @hcrichardson.bsky.social reminds me of Russell Vought saying Trump 2.0 would rapid fire Executive Orders to outpace the courts.
“By the time they figure out what's going on, we will have already done it"

"*Disgusted*? Not by the pedophilia, the abuse, the mother who proffered her own children as sacrifices to her lover? No, JD wasn’t 'disgusted' by any of that. He was 'disgusted' by Republicans who wanted no part in Vivek Ramaswamy’s lies."
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko recalls witnessing the aftermath of Russian attacks on civilians trying to flee.
“Half-burnt bodies lying on the asphalt” beside the wreckage of their cars.
“Something that you would expect to see in horror movies, but it's absolutely reality.”
Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko describes discovering mass graves in Bucha after Russian occupation.
“They were unloading bodies and they were just collecting them in the mass grave near the church.”
My brain cannot process this level of corruption.
She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters
"We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.
