Now that Trump has entered into a faustian deal with Putin, its time for anyone left in the administration with honor to resign in protest. GOP Senators/House members who don't respond negatively, vocally and by Congressional action, should now be branded as traitorous as Trump. May he burn in hell.

Just received an email from my Congressman, Mark Harris (NC CD 8), stating “Harris Calls on WNBA to Define Woman as Biological Female, Establish Clear Eligibility Standards”. Nothing about the war, prices or a failing President. No wonder the GOP will lose the House.

Donald Trump prefers N Korea (“unthreatening and respectful”) over Canada. It’s like we’re trapped in an insane asylum.

US inflation is the highest in the G7.
Line chart titled "The United States currently has the highest inflation in the G7" showing year-ended consumer price inflation rates across G7 countries. The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Canada at 3.2% and Italy at 3.1%, while Japan has the lowest rate at 1.5%. The 2.0 percentage point gap between the highest and lowest rates reveals divergent price pressures among major advanced economies, with the US experiencing notably stronger inflation than its peers.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Trump is having a complete meltdown. Proof that the war has not yet been won, the allies he tried to extort with his tariff aren’t coming to his recuse and he can’t find an off-ramp. This time he has no Fred Trump or Roy Cohn to rescue him.

@michaelcohen212.bsky.social Can agree with you that a nuclear Iran is a terrible outcome for the world. But if they are taken down militarily it should not have been unilaterally. Trump should have put together a coalition of the willing so that the US doesn’t become a pariah.
