Ossoff: Did you see this business about Don Jr.‘s wedding in the Bahamas? Where he received, apparently, a cash gift from a Russian oligarch connected to the Kremlin? This man, Kremlev, was apparently in China with Putin two days before he flew to the Bahamas for Don Jr.’s wedding…

If the American people don’t overwhelmingly reject and repudiate what is happening with this govt, Republican Congress, and Supreme Court this November, then this Republic is doomed. We can survive a criminal regime for a short term, but we can’t survive an ignorant populace.

A mega mansion is no different than a castle. Traditionalist conservatives always defended the throne, established churches, and aristocracy against liberal democracies The billionaires must be stopped. This type of immense societal collapse of the ‘haves, and ‘have -nots’ isn’t sustainable.…

.@AOC is right. This is not a surprise. This is cause and effect. Democrats stopped withholding funding for ICE and now Trump’s thugs are back to murdering civilians in broad daylight. We have to abolish ICE. And how we’re going to get there is stopping the funding.

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

This is flying under the radar, but Trump's cronies have started their own organization to plan 250th anniversary events. Not only is their "Freedom 250" receiving taxpayer funds, it's also soliciting big donations from corporations in exchange for face time with Trump. Everything is for sale.

Today, the last tanker of crude oil that transited the Strait of Hormuz before Trump launched his war on Iran reached its destination in Europe. As I have posted several times before, the oil price spikes we have been seeing have been largely speculative. The real impact is only just now starting.

Illinois has upheld our commitments. Trump must stop this political stunt and start releasing the funds, get the project moving again, and protect the Great Lakes.
Tweet from the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works of a statement regarding BRIP: 

President Trump has always been a champion of keeping invasive Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes. Because the Brandon Road Project is critical to meeting the objective, we are aggressively moving out on this project and moving its management out of Illinois which has been an unreliable partners delinquent on its payments and real estate commitments. It will now be managed from Michigan which has been a good attend and stands to benefit more than any other state. Our partners in the Great Lake States can’t allow one state to hate undue influence and use it to pay more games. This is great news for every state in the region, including Illinois.
