THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him.
That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
JON STEWART: “They began covering their ass 3 weeks after 9/11… There was poison in the air, on the ground, on your pets/clothes… THE CITY KNEW. Rather than limit the damage, they covered it up… After 9/11, business will never be usual again.”

Just a few of the corporations and government contractors Trump has bought stock in lately.
Many of his trades coincided with regulatory decisions his administration made that affected their profits.
Understand what's really going on here.
The sailors don’t deserve this. And they sure as hell don’t deserve to have their suffering denied by the President and Secretary of Defense.
Iran damaged the logistics hub in Bahrain, disrupting supplies to the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Hegseth kept it a secret, and it NEVER has gone on this long.
Oh, honey . . . You don’t really care about the welfare of young girls. You support a man who rapes them. And then you brag about getting his endorsement.
Trump is bragging that the Strait of Hormuz "will soon become US territory"...
He is downplaying the Abraham Lincoln war ship crew's dire living conditions, just like he did with the COVID pandemic...
But here's what's REALLY happening with Trump’s Iran war !!!
The orange felon blames mail-in voting, immigrants and felons for destroying America, yet he marries immigrants, he votes by mail and he’s a convicted felon. Funny how that bullshit hypocrisy works.
Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks.
It is a fundamental corruption.
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.
The people of Albania have been protesting the Trump family for 11 days straight because Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner want to build a $2 billion luxury resort on an environmentally sensitive coast site.
Solidarity with the people of Albania standing up to billionaire greed. 🇦🇱

Jacobs to Rubio: "You're saying we're winning because the Iranian economy has inflation and it's costing them millions a day in lost revenue. Well, we are having inflation. It's already cost us an estimated $100 billion, gas prices are up ... "
🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Ukraine is grateful to the United States for supporting our defense and to all compassionate American hearts that continue to support Ukraine.
I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to.
2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.
Trump: “Nobody expected that.”
With the exception of foreign policy experts, who predicted this as early as 2010.
Trump proved again he’s the dumbest president ever….
Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump.
This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks.
We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!
Trump and Hegseth ignored experts - and reality - when they started the war with Iran.
Their bad choices raised your gas prices.

Yesterday, 42 House Democrats joined Republicans to hand the government a blank check to conduct warrantless surveillance on Americans. Democratic leadership fell short by not whipping representatives in opposition to this bill, which would not have passed without Democrats’ support.
MOULTON: Did you consider the risk of Iran closing the strait?
HEGSETH: Of course
MOULTON: So then why did you send the only minesweepers we had in the Gulf to Singapore weeks before the war started?
💔Dear world, please don’t forget Ukraine. Every day, Russia continues its attacks, and Ukrainians lose their lives and homes. Don’t stay silent—stand with Ukraine.
