It seems to me Trump is is accelerating and expanding his treason with Russia because he knows it will be harder after the midterms when the Republicans are no longer able to cover for his crimes.

Russia does not have to hit the border to jam Ukraine-bound freight. Truck waits at Dorohusk-Yahodyn reached 50 hours today, with about 1,100 trucks in line earlier. Repeated air-raid alerts in western Ukraine force border processing to pause, deepening the freight backlog.

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

The most sickening thing is not that Elon Musk is pumping hundreds of millions into the midterm elections. The most sickening thing is that this doesn't make even a dent on his grotesque fortune, which means he will continue to abuse the power his wealth provides him.

not entirely sure if it’s possible for Musk to be more disgusting than he is
Similarly, the Musk operation is leaving literature on doors that claims that James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, has a "radical trans agenda." And America PAC's top ad in the state, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact, denounces Mr. Talarico over his past comments suggesting that "God is nonbinary."
The Musk group is also targeting other Democratic Senate candidates over transgender issues, including Josh Turek, the party's nominee in Iowa. Nationally, one of the super PAC's most visible ads on Facebook features a man in makeup and reads: "He made his plan to vote. Did you?
Don't stay home while crazies elect radicals."
