On November 3, VOTE BLUE down the entire ballot. And January 2027 begins with a House and Senate that works for the people and not the crooked billionaires. No more dodging. No more excuses. We’ll bring receipts—and hold them accountable for every guardrail they’ve trashed. #BlueWaveIn30Days

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.

Trump promised a battleship in 30 months. The CBO says the first one will likely take 8 years or more. It’s projected to cost $23.4 billion, and the full 25-ship fleet could run about $455 billion. Another Trump promise sunk before it ever left the dock. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

The mayor of New York had a plan and knew how to implement it. Trump had no plan, just a bunch of empty promises that he either had no clue how to implement, or never intended to.

FL voters on Trump's war: He was supposed to be a no-war President & now we're at war. He thought this was going to be simple. It's more complex than that. An idiot could have figured this out. He already claimed he'd obliterated their nuclear capacity. Well, either he lied then, or he's lying now.
