Trump helps Russia's economy as he obliterates ours, helps Russia's war machine while he guts our national security, serves Putin while he ignores Americans.

Please call your senators and reps of either party and express outrage about this. Most of them will agree with you, whether they'll admit it or not. There needs to be pushback.

The United States is now importing fuel from Russia, per President Trump.

Buying Russian diesel will not moderate global diesel prices substantially (for obvious reasons). Also, for example, China and India produce more diesel than Russia. Russia was the one choice where buying the diesel violates our sanctions and undermines our national interests/Ukraine security.

Donald Trump is betraying Ukraine and the USA and violating his own Russian sanctions to buy oil from Russia because he’s terrified of losing the midterms because he’s in the Epstein Files over a million times.

If you think Trump handing a multibillion $ gift to Putin that will help Russia continue to wage war on Ukraine, doesn't make sense...then you're not paying attention. It is Trump doing what he always does, putting Putin and Russian interests ahead of America's and our allies.

Today in U.S. foreign policy: Attacking the ICC, human rights and the rule of law in the world and committing to send billions to the world's leading war criminal to help him support his vicious aggression against his democratic neighbor. Not an exaggeration.

Appropriately enough, as American school children are no longer able to rely on the acronym "H-O-M-E-S" to remember the names of the Great Lakes, they will have to find a new one to incorporate Lake America. S-H-A-M-E comes to mind.

President Trump has spent the morning on Truth Social trashing Canada and praising totalitarian dictator Kim Jong Un. Congrats, America!

Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi. Samuel de Champlain called it Lac de St. Louis. The name Lacus Ontario was first recorded in 1660 by Francis Creuxius.

Big Oil faces a clear choice — help ease the burden for families or exploit Trump’s war of choice to generate profits. I’m demanding answers on why Illinois families are paying huge prices, how these companies are profiteering, and what steps they’ll take to provide relief.

ICE agents in Maine killed a father on his way to work yesterday: Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26. The week before, agents killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, a father of three. The Trump administration isn't returning America to a nostalgic past. It's plunging families into a horrific present.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Oh look, more corruption: “Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time, Vulcan’s was the only deal initiated by a top aide to the president, said an official at the Pentagon who was not authorized to speak publicly.” www.propublica.org/article/dona...

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.” The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/dD7xx4n

"An analysis from Fair Fight Action, the liberal advocacy group, determined that Democrats could flip as many as 22 congressional seats across seven states ahead of the 2028 presidential election." ABC News picks up our story: abcnews.com/Politics/sta...

abcnews.comWhich states might redraw congressional maps in 2026, 2028 after Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act rulingThe bare-knuckle, partisan mid-decade redistricting battles that have occurred across the country over the past year and a half might become the new normal.

NEWS --> Dem can redraw anywhere from 10 to 22 additional House seats for the party in time for the 2028 elections if they aggressively redistrict in 7 key states, a new Fair Fight Action analysis finds. This would neutralize GOP's post-SCOTUS advantage. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2098...

Vice President of the US: “The US is done paying for and sending Ukraine weapons. We’re out of this business.” Fine. And Europe is done pretending. So here is the truth: The Trump administration is a disgrace to the ENTIRE world.

Donald Trump has lost his mind, and his threats to wipe out the Iranian people should be taken seriously. He’s out of control and his cabinet and those around him must be loyal to the Constitution and invoke the 25th Amendment. He must be removed.

Opinion_Haver reposted

I wish as many people were outraged by Putin seeking to erase Ukraine and Netanyahu seeking to erase Gaza as they are about Trump's threat regarding Iran. They are the same.

It's really hard to overstate the catastrophic failure of legacy media to present the ascendancy of a psychotic criminal to the presidency for what it was. Time and again, they normalized, sanitized, sane-washed and thus assisted a madman as he seized and began to serially abuse awesome power.

Trump just raged at our NATO allies for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bail him out of the fiasco he created. He threatened to withdraw from NATO with childish insults. This is best seen as an admission of serious political weakness. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Barack Obama gave Iran its own money to get American prisoners released. Donald Trump is giving Iran *our* money to get his poll number to rise after he stupidly caused gas prices to go up. Donald only thinks about Donald.

"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that [Donald Trump] will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."
