Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

Welp. Republicans distancing themselves from Trump, saying it’s time to end the war. Congress introduced War Powers resolutions to force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran. Ashley Hinson: NO Jon Husted: NO Tom Tiffany: NO They had a chance to end it, but they voted against it.

Susan Collins voted against convicting history's most documented liar in his first impeachment trial because she said he "learned his lesson". Then she voted with Trump 96% of the time. Troy Jackson in the Senate will vote with Mainers, not with billionaire manipulators!

Money has bought too many politicians, and everyday people don’t have enough money to buy them back. When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll piss off Big Pharma every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Who else is way past impeachment and wants REAL accountability? 🙋‍♀️ I do. Who’s with me? #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

A Putin crony from a biker gang called the Night Wolves, now linked to the abduction of Ukrainian children, paid for Don Jr.'s wedding. Absolutely normal when your family spent years doing business with Moscow 🙄 Get rid of the grift, abuse, & corruption. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

Trump’s Net worth is $7 billion in 2026, 3 times higher than it was in 2024 He is robbing us blind and #TrumpsCorruptCongress doesn’t say a damn word about it. We need to elect as many Democrats as we can to do oversight on this administration. No more rubber stamp Republicans!!🗳️🗳️

Thank you to the Irish President and to the Irish people.

We still have a few months left, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this pic of Donald seething after being scolded like a naughty boy by Irish President Catherine Connolly isn't my favorite photo of 2026.

So the best dealmaker in the entire world cannot make a deal when the other side is dying to make a deal and is calling constantly? Does Trump know this makes absolutely no sense?

Trump: "Look, it could end before the midterm. But it will end after the midterm. Iran wants to make a deal so badly. They are calling constantly." 🙃

This is amazing… They gave the Humanitarian Award to an entire state. At the 2026 Hispanic Heritage Awards, the people of Minnesota were honored for how they came together to support their neighbors during the federal immigration crackdown. Congratulations, Minnesota. 👏🏽 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Aside from the blatant illegality here, you’ll get this right after your tariff dividend, your freedom dividend, Trump’s health care plan, and your $2 gas

Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

Mike Lawler votes with Donald Trump 100% of the time, and his constituents are paying the price. For seniors on fixed incomes, Mike Lawler’s actions have been particularly devastating. From healthcare to utilities to groceries, costs are skyrocketing.

Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump's second term: "We've lost morality. We've lost decency. We've lost respect for the rule of law. We've normalized verbal abuse. We've normalized bullying. Morality and integrity have gone out the window. We're supposed to elect our best, not our worst."

Mike Lawler loves to distract from the shameful decisions he’s made, but we won’t forget how he defended domestic abuser Max Miller and refused to return his money. Why? Because Donald Trump told him to.

DHS lies! Memphis has been under siege by ICE from more than a year. Trump wants you to believe they are targeting "the worst of the worst" violent criminals, but they are going after hardworking immigrants.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.

The new CDC Director is indeed the one who ordered the count of measles deaths to be changed from 2 to 0. “The highly unusual decision departs from the agency’s practice of including such data from state health departments, which historically make the determinations”.

Susan Collins wants voters to believe she’s independent of Trump. The “independent” brand isn’t going to sell to Mainers. Troy Jackson’s message: Look at her record She’s the chair of the Appropriations Committee & had the power to stop Trump’s agenda that hurt Maine, but repeatedly chose not to.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

Parts of Ohio are still without power and waiting on FEMA. The Strategic Reserve is at its lowest point in history. Gas prices are at seasonal record highs. Beef prices are at record highs period. Trump: best I can do is fake rename Lake Ontario and import diseased beef

Trump’s "Justice" Department sent election monitors into Wyoming polling places, where they tried to ask voters questions and inspect voting machines. Even the governor of Wyoming – one of the most Republican states – was alarmed. They're trying to take over our elections so they can steal them.
