Dems need to win PA by around 9 points to flip its Senate (~D+11 nationally). In that situation, they likely also take the state legislatures of WI, MI, AZ and NV Gov. Dems would have the votes to push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over the line and eliminate the Electoral College.

Well it’s been approximately two weeks since Trump signed the Lindsey Graham tariff bill, which all those Trump supporters were saying was going to allow him to hammer Russia. Any sign of the new 100% tariffs on China and India—the largest purchasers of Russian oil?

FBI Director Kash Patel this week has faced the worst data breach in FBI history, a deputy who quit because Patel was doing too many unconstitutional things, and partied with a suspected double agent. And it's only Tuesday. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-disgra...

Russia has one enormous strategic advantage of which it is taking advantage. It can daily attack civilian targets--hospitals, universities, markets--knowing that while Ukraine can do the same, the Ukrainians are too humane to do so.

Ukrainian forces used drones to deliver food to residents of occupied Oleshky! During one of their recent large-scale operations, they delivered 4,000 kg of food across 100 locations in the city. This gives people a little bit of time, but pressure must be put on Russia to let people evacuate!

When historians look back on Trump's foreign policy in a century, I bet these are their verdict on his most famous policies: The support of Russia--the most evil. The pillaging of Venezuela--the most corrupt. The decision to go to war with Iran--the most incompetent.
