Trump: we are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine. The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine! Not a single one!

Donald Trump is squandering an inheritance that better Americans built, defended and entrusted to the presidency. He has taken the authority of the United States and turned it against the confidence of our allies.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Just 10 donors were responsible for over HALF of the $320 MILLION the group received for Trump's ballroom project. 5 corporations, 2 billionaires, and one CEO helped foot the bill to bulldoze the White House. One year later we know who funded it, now it's time to uncover why.

How will the world ever forgive us? If we do not vote in numbers that deliver a major slap down to the GOP showing the world that the majority of Americans do care about our friends across the world, they will never ever trust us again. I stand with Ukraine & our allies. Dismantle the GOP. #Pinks

A look at 3 Zuckerberg and Ellison data center projects in Doña Ana and El Paso: When fully built out, the three data centers, each with its own power plant, will emit millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the planet-warming emissions released by more than 2mn cars in a year.

Data centers in Texas and New Mexico may upend climate goals - The Texas Tribune
El Paso and New Mexico planned to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Neither plan considered how three new data centers could upend their climate goals.

More critically, the only times she has voted *against* Trump is when her vote wasn't needed, and that vote was carefully choreographed to allow her to promote her supposedly moderate image.

When Trump calls for violence, he's not being figurative or fanciful. He actually wants his enemies to be shot. What happened to Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero was the natural outcome of regime policy. More will die until the tyrant is stopped.

Trump is a traitor to not only America but the world. To lie about Zelensky in order to help Putin, in my opinion, proves it beyond doubt. People of America it's up to you to stop him. You have the power by #VOTINGBLUE in the #MIDTERMS. Vote Early!!

⛽️ Gas prices have now been above $4 for more days than ANY other year on record. Trump’s war with Iran has forced Americans to spend an extra $107 BILLION on gas alone — roughly $2,000 per household.
