This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

I'd like to be alive when children don't fear this! An estimated 1.5 to 4.2 million children & youth experience homelessness in America each year. Researchers estimate that roughly 1.3 million infants, toddlers, and preschoolers—about 1 in 18 children under age six—experience homelessness annually.

James Talarico: We are still very much the underdogs. We're going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas who is backed by the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world — both the president and Elon Musk are backing Ken Paxton.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS! Early voting numbers are great, but a surge in turnout does not automatically mean Democrats are winning. Remember 2022? More than 40 million Americans voted early too, and Republicans still flipped the House. Get everybody to the polls!

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨

Morgan: You have no intention of resigning? 🇺🇦 Zelensky: Of course not. This is my responsibility. 🇺🇸 Piers Morgan: President Trump, do the right thing here. Siding with Putin against Zelensky is the wrong thing. Give Zelensky the support he needs to defeat modern-day Hitler.

🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy to the U.S.: "Just give us back Starlink. I can't understand the reasons for limiting us, for not allowing us to defend ourselves. I think it's a mistake."

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

US, Russia, and Israel appear to be coordinating against Europe and Canada, and it is clearly escalating. Trump & Netanyahu face being declawed in a few weeks. We must remain calm and resolute, do not give in to their provocations and destabilisation attempts. Together strong.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Newsom: "Trump is ruthless. I'm sorry -- we need to be a little more ruthless. And if you think I'm exaggerating, I woke up this morning & read Trump wants to arrest me. He said on Truth Social. He's not screwing around. He's trying to quite literally rig the election again today in the state of CA"

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.
