Not only has our president decided we won’t be helping Ukraine… But now, we are funding Russia! 

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

If there’s still anyone out there, who doubts the Republican Party is a cult to Donald Trump I give you this ad. “Ken Paxton is a horrible, person and even though it insults my dignity as a human being, I’m still voting for him because - Democrats“ There is no bottom. There is no shame. 

The Downballot@the-downballot.com

Quite the ad featuring Ken Paxton's estranged wife, Angela. "Let's talk about the elephant in the room. In a general election, it's not as much about the individual players on the team. It's about getting the whole team across the finish line. ... That's why I'm voting for the Republican ticket."

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

Watching corporate media debate Trump's promise of $5000 a person the way Trump wants. In reality, Dems should simply be pointing out that the GOP controls the House & Senate today and ask Republicans: Why not pass it right now to show Americans it's real?! Put the GOP on defensive.

They have become so emboldened, they don’t even bother to hide their contempt for us anymore. 👇

1/ In March 2025, shortly after his return to power, Donald Trump’s administration postponed the compliance deadline for the FDA’s Food Traceability Rule by 30 months. That moved it back from January 20, 2026, to July 20, 2028. We are now paying the price.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

A 25 and 19 year old dead in another endless Republican Middle East war while Trump played golf, hosted a high dollar fundraiser, and tried to jump on a stage to act like he won the World Cup.

Cyclospora isn’t just another summer stomach bug. It’s a reminder that foodborne outbreaks require strong public health surveillance, rapid communication, and informed consumers. Here are practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your family

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

BREAKING: Don't fall for what Blanche is suggesting - DOJ is NOT getting rid of the whole bogus slush fund deal; it's still giving Trump $1,776 billion AND still giving him (and family) a broad civil release of liability; all it is NOT doing is using the $1,776 to create a fund for J6ers and others.

Perhaps the most tonedeaf thing Marco Rubio has ever said👇👇

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”

2019: "A senior administration official, writing anonymously in The New York Times last September, described how, 'given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment'—but 'no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis.'"
