I'm beginning to think our leader may be compromised. On the one hand, he is helping out his Russian buddy to kill more citizens in Ukraine AND at the same time addressing an economic issue for his trucker buddies at home. What a guy!
Trump just announced that he is importing 400,000 tons of Russian diesel right away and up to 4,000,000 tons over the coming months. Every US$ going to Putin will be used to buy more missiles and drones to kill Ukrainian civilians. Trump's largess will lead to thousands of deaths. 1/2

NO! We should use impeachment first as a huge threat. We should submit corrective legislation immediately after the election and hold President Trump and his Minions to passage. Start this impeachment threat right away. Use it as a tool / bargaining chip first. Then impeach regardless.
I agree with @jvl.bsky.social. Dems would do well to conduct serial impeachments. First Heggy (if he is not convicted in Dec, after he IS impeached in House), then RFK. Then prioritize based on what will either gain support among Senate GOPers OR embarrass them. www.thebulwark.com/p/impeach-th...

Infantino’s FIFA has crossed the threshold from a sports story involving money and power to a money and power story involving sports. The scandals of his tenure, while draped in a distinctive soccer-like gloss, have concerned the kinds of mergers that have disrupted seemingly every other sector.

TELL ME THAT "ENTITLEMENTS" ARE A PROBLEM WHILE WE SEE THIS REALITY... 968 billion? Plus what we spent on A fake war in Iran. THE MILITARY BUDGET IS THE PROBLEM. #FaceFacts We spent too much on wars and killings. We really are a shithole Nation.
Mike Johnson has said the "entitlements are the problem", meanwhile they authorized $500 billion more for Defense, $350 billion more for ICE, paid $765 million to stop offshore wind power folks to stop production, $400 million more for a vanity ballroom. "Entitlements are the problem"???

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
