Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Parts of Indiana have been without power for 9–10 days due to storms. Tens of thousands are currently in the dark (peak was over 300,000). Puerto Rico has been rationing water for 13+ days due to severe drought. Trump has not said a word about either crisis. Not a tweet. A “Truth.” Nothing

Congress now has access to unredacted versions of the approx 3M Epstein files that the DOJ has released. Trump is at the heart of the crimes.

Don’t forget housing, foodstuffs and construction. Dont ignore credit, student loans,

Cartoon by Jimmy Margulies | King Features ° The Trump administration has unveiled a bold new affordability strategy: make gasoline, electricity, insurance, and health care all more expensive at the same time. . Some administrations inherit an energy crisis. This one is determined to build its own.

"So the Trump administration is willing to unsanction Iranian oil so that it can keep fighting a war. But it was reluctant to do so during talks in order to achieve peace. Sort of says it all." - @yarbatman.bsky.social Trump has to shield Americans from pain at the pump bsky.app/profile/atru...

The justification for the occupation of DC is that a DOGE employee was carjacked. What does this look like?

WTF 🤬 This is happening in Washington, DC

Homeland Security guys and Treasury agents...going after fare evasion. The nominal excuses to flood the city with cops and feds are absurd.

Agents have dispersed. They were targeting people for fare evasion. Metro Transit PD, Parks Police (y’all probably recognize O’Hanlon by now, he’s a busy boy), HSI, Dept of Treasury, MPD

The GOP says they want to protect women and are tough on crime. So why are they covering up for the powerful people who were part of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring? #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

1/Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, seems interested in making women 2nd class citizens. A tweet he posted late last week isn’t getting nearly enough attention. In any other administration, there would have been swift calls for his resignation. Here, mostly crickets.

I know a lot of people would rather not vote for Ramaswami. This is a brilliant, educated public servant who could help Ohio navigate the rough waters ahead in healthcare for Ohio. The Medicaid cuts are going to wreak havoc on so many rural hospitals in Ohio. Recruiting is tough as it is.

The bank of the Seine in Paris used to be space for cars. Now for several years it’s been a special place for people in a city making more & more of them. All it took was leadership. Oh, and fighting and winning a court battle when that leadership was challenged. HT @emmanuelspv.bsky.social for pic.
