Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members. JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.” VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”

Remember that everything Trump says is a lie and the opposite is often true. Trump frequently claims he “rebuilt” the U.S. military. That’s the tell. He’s recklessly depleted U.S. munitions and interceptors. And once again, he’s trying to blame Biden.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

Trump suggested tonight that Iran could "take out" American cities: "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take— let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

CNN releases this statement on Trump's proposed ban: "We have a right under the U.S. Constitution to do that reporting without hindrance or interference from the government. Should the ban which President Trump threatened go ahead, it would be an illegal assault...onstitutionally-protected right."

Presidents with nothing to hide don’t ban reporters. But this President is historically corrupt—so he has a LOT to hide. Stand up for the Free Press. Every leader should condemn this.

Trump bans CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House. Says more could follow. The First Amendment doesn’t have an “unless the president gets pissed off” exception. This is America. Not Putin’s Russia.

Scooter Lynne reposted

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

I know this won’t happen, but the entire WH press corps should walk out. Trump craves attention and is obsessed with his coverage. Not covering his Oval Office Lie Sessions would hurt him more than just about anything.
