Retired marketing exec. Recovering moderate concerned about the takeover of our democracy by billionaires. Some knowledge of history and foreign policy. I've lived in 5 countries on 3 continents but my adult life in the US. And Trump is a Russian tool.

The Big Ugly Bill adds $3.4 TRILLION to the national debt. Not to fund schools. Not to fix roads. Not to lower your grocery bill. To pad the wallets of people who already own most of the country. Your grandkids get the bill. The donor class gets the breaks.

Tim Snyder unloads on Trump and his inner circle: They are all greedy cowards. If he encounters Europeans or Ukrainians especially who actually believe in democracy, the rule of law, who care about their country… this is detestable to him.

It's frustrating that so many voters don't know history or see the impact of their votes. The sad fact is half of all voters pay little attention to need or politics and can't tell when they've been lied to. That's why biased media owned by billionaires and spreading lies are so dangerous.

The last Trump-Kushner-Witkoff “peace plan” for Russia-Ukraine had more on data center construction opportunities than on security guarantees that could make peace last. This time it’s an oil deal. The whole effort has been trying to sell out Ukraine for personal profit and neo-fascist solidarity.

Strangely the Trump chaos brings the opportunity for real progressive reforms. The attacks on the guardrails of our government has shaken the established order and persuaded many that we can't go back to the status quo but need deeper reforms. Universal healthcare, expand and term limits on SCOTUS.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*.

Clean air is now a “burden.” Trump’s EPA announced it will reconsider smog-control requirements for parts of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott pushed for relief. This comes as Abbott declared a diesel price “disaster” and separately requested waivers for cleaner diesel standards.

Republican politicians don't give a damn about the deficit. They use it as an excuse after they kill government revenues by giving huge breaks to those with the most money. To fix the deficit- A) Tax billionaires at 1960s rates or B) Gut basic support for Social Security and Medicare.

Don't amplify the Republican framing of the issues they carefully chose for attacks. Arguing about the details of their attack just repeats the attack and reinforces the importance of the issue.

Dems often fall into the trap of arguing on Republican attack issues and using that language. Dems need to immediately pivot to the broad values we believe in that all people should be treated equally, and that personal issues of gender are private and none of anyone's business.

Let's not get sucked into arguing details of extremist attacks. They take a key difference between the left, believe treating everyone equally, and the right, believe some are better than others and deserve special treatment. Republicans create the most emotionally extreme version to attack Dems.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
