Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.
Congress passed a law forcing new sanctions and tariffs on Russia.
Two days before it kicked in, Trump signed an order waiving it. Read that twice.
Then ask who the law was for.
Trump is a Russian asset.
1/ A secret military task force in San Antonio is working the midterms, and ICE is fast-tracking a spy network in two dozen cities. Nobody gets to call this hysterical anymore. It's documented. The only question left is what we do. 🧵

Leaked audio of Mike Rogers calling on Republicans to use off-duty police officers to intimidate voters in Detroit in an attempt to manipulate the Michigan Senate race:
Scandals this week in the Texas senate race:
Ken Paxton on video with his latest mistress partying in Dubai with a wanted fugitive who committed over $300 million in health care fraud and gave $190K to Paxton.
James Talarico stayed home to recover from the flu.
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.
I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done.
This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands.
He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.
TEA: Apparently, Joe DiGenova told Josh Christenson of the New York Post "If you want indictments where there's no evidence, you have an ethical problem."
I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court.
I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective.
Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court.
The lesson: When we fight we win.
Caitlyn Jenner is the latest moron claiming they will "declare" for the WNBA Draft & it's why you never engage with bigots. That league is getting streamrolled by trolls. There is no issue with trans women in sports. None. Say that loudly. Every time. We need Dems to shut this shit down, now.
She ran for six days. And beat everybody.
Megan Eckert, a 40 year old middle school math teacher, ran more than 636 miles in six days, breaking the women’s world record and the overall American record.
She became the first woman ever to run 1,000 kilometers in six days. 🔥

Middle school children in my little liberal oasis were apparently wishing each other “Happy Kirkaversary” today so that’s how it’s going, if you wanted to know.

A new CNN poll shows Michigan voters are unhappy with Trump’s tariffs on Canada:
6️⃣4️⃣% say the tariffs are BAD, while only 1️⃣4️⃣% support the tariffs.
Mike Rogers will continue to support them because daddy Trump asked him to.
I’ve spent my life fighting for working families:
☑️ Co-chaired the campaign to raise the minimum wage
☑️ Delivered free school meals for kids
☑️ Led the fight to pass paid family and medical leave
