Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

📌BREAKING NEWS FOR THE IDIOTS IN MSM: The Trump agenda has not been a failure. He has troops & masked gunmen in our streets, has surrendered to Putin, wrecked our govt., spent lavishly on himself & made his family hundreds of millions of dollars. That was ALWAYS his agenda. Try reporting THAT.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Republicans now having to spend many millions in multiple states where they should not have to spend anything because Trump endorsed the worst possible general election candidate in those primaries so now they are being bailed out by billionaires buying elections with dark money.

Trump and the people around him have no sense of patriotism or sovereignty. To them, politics is another grift—another way to the top. But as we are seeing, Canada doesn’t share their view. Canada has a plan and they are acting—and America will now lose the most, thanks to Trump and his people (2/2)

It’s been literally every poll, every week, for over a year. Including every Fox poll. This guy is completely isolated and insulated from the real American public and when he isn’t lying he being lied to by court jesters and sycophants.

In the last 24 hours on different TV networks, Republicans in Congress blamed the cost of beef and housing on immigrants as well as the measles outbreak. Everything bad that happens in the country they are currently in charge of is caused by either immigrants or Biden.

Wildfires are 4 times more likely to start near roads than in roadless areas. More roads = more fire. Trump is selling out your public lands for development while over 2.6 million acres of Oregon burn in a record wildfire season.

Confronted with an obvious need for renewable energy, Trump admin officials used taxpayer money to scuttle an offshore wind project. Then they did it again. And again. And again. And this week, again. Total price tag in wasted taxpayer money: ~$4 billion and counting www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

Let’s be clear: the concessions they’re looking for are just for Blanche to put in writing that the president, his family, and their businesses won’t have an eternal freedom to cheat on their taxes. That’s all (and apparently that’s too much).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he may pull Blanche's nomination for attorney general, looking to avoid concessions to holdout Republicans.

The fact that Blanche refused to terminate the slush fund in writing for Trump’s criminal cronies as well as his IRS immunity deal proves that his testimony at his confirmation hearing that these things were “dead” was always a lie. They were dead only until he got confirmed.

If Biden fell asleep as often in the middle of the day at public meetings and events like Trump, Fox would have aired it nonstop day in and day out. But we know they won’t show Trump sleeping. But how much do the other networks show Trump falling asleep and why isn’t more often?

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!
