"But his doubters fear he’ll cost Democrats control of the Senate by failing to unite his party’s disparate factions ahead of November." I don't consider myself a Progressive....also, the "disparate" Democratic factions in Michigan need to GROW UP and STFU and unite behind El-Sayed. WIN.

I'm beside myself with anger and frustration. I'm ashamed of the U.S. and ashamed to be an American. Congress is worse than useless, the US Supreme Court is complicit, and the dictator has porridge for brains. 'It Can't Happen Here' (the book by Sinclair Lewis) is here. God help us.

Republican Congress members are devoted to their self-interest, and they will not oppose Trump. They're hoping Democrats will win so they will stop the madness - yet they can complain about it. Abject cowards. Give them their wish. #VOTE #ImpeachTrump

Trump went from ”drill, baby, drill” to ”please sell me diesel, Vladimir. I will fund your war.” So weak!

Headlines from @wsj.com @financialtimes.com and @washingtonpost.com today I'm out of my mind with disgust for this Trump crowd. Unbridled corruption. America: #VOTE and #votedemocrat It's now or possibly never.

The fact that Western embassies and international missions are openly refusing to give in to the Kremlin’s threats and publicly declaring that they’re staying in Kyiv is a great slap in Putin’s face and a very eloquent middle finger to him. Excellent and thank you.

So, Russia bombed another bridge in Kyiv today that connects left and right banks . It’s the 5th attack on bridges in Kyiv in these 4 days . People left stranded , can’t get to work or get back home . Nothing military about it . only Russia trying to terrorise us into submission .

The world is getting tired of Ukraine Slowly. Quietly I understand - A war that lasts years Is not “interesting” anymore But our war didn’t end Ukraine is still fighting Still making russia weak And we are still dying - Soldiers, civilians, children Even if you don’t see it in the news

The U.S. is a cancer right now. Poor judgment and untrustworthy (even more so than in the past). Trump and his mob are actively opposing democracy and encouraging engagement with dictators. The U.S. has nothing to offer right now except risk.

What does not exist is the political courage required to use them. And so the country continues drifting deeper into uncertainty while elected officials who know better stand on the sidelines and pretend not to see what

Ukrainian forces have launched the largest drone-based humanitarian operations of its kind, delivering food across the Dnipro River to residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky, Kherson region. Around 4 tonnes of supplies have already reached 100 designated locations.

True. In 1999-2000, I wrote a very polite letter to Gov Jim Gilmore and the VA Republican Party chair expressing my concerns about their positions on women's rights (I was still voting Republican then). Neither of them even bothered to respond. I did not forget that.

Russia destroys a US-owned defence factory in Ukraine 🇺🇦 Nothing… US prosecutors allege a Russian intelligence plot to murder a dissident in Washington. Russia reportedly also supplies Iran with intelligence on US military assets. Nothing.. Putin gets an invitation to the G20 by Trump… WTF 🤷‍♂️

Trump couldn't care less about war crimes - he had no qualms about hitting civilian infrastructure after he started an #illegalwar with Iran. If he did the right thing (for once in his life) he wouldn't be able to make personal real estate deals with putin. Trump *always* makes the wrong choice.

Russia has repeatedly struck US businesses in Ukraine. Not a word from Rubio. Russia has armed and informed Iran vs the US. Not a word. Russia's war has imperilled food supplies and driven up oil prices. Not a word. If all you can do is badmouth an ally on the wrong end of a genocide, STFU.

A photo of Donald Trump inspecting the scale model of the Trump arch with drones, snipers, and golden statues was unavailable due to reporters being banned from the briefing. So, here is Hitler and other top Nazis inspecting a scale model of a planned Triumphal Arch in Berlin, circa 1939.
