Deep cuts to safety net programs like Medicaid and food assistance were intentionally scheduled by congressional Republicans to kick in right after the November 2026 midterm elections to shield candidates from immediate voter backlash.

Read this for clear explanations of specific “fraud” voting claims by Trump and how understanding the background and strategies can support confidence in our voting practices. Shows how laughably stupid they are (and want voters to be) to question only the votes the GOP doesn’t like.

Russia attacked Ukraine with 500 drones and around 40 missiles, including Kinzhal missiles. The main strike targeted #Kyiv, hitting energy facilities and civilian infrastructure. The Russian attack left nearly one third of Kyiv without heating. Russia is a terrorist state.

I’m sick that we’re not protesting the war in Ukraine more - pressuring Trump on h Putin/Russia. If nothing else he might blow his stack with all the “Russia Russia Russia” stuff he hates so much, and deserves. Maybe it would help - there is currently no good end in sight for the valiant Ukrainians.
