Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Trump promised $5,000 stimulus checks from DOGE cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $2,000 stimulus checks from tariffs. You got 0. Trump promised $1,000 checks from Obamacare cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $1.98 gas. You got $4+. Trump now has more promises for you.

1. This week is the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Trump is marking the occasion by describing his role in heroic terms, claiming he personally went to Ground Zero with an army of construction workers to aid recovery efforts. It is all a fantasy.

Despite all the accusations of crimes and cover-ups, the Trump admin has never actually prosecuted or jailed anyone. The supposed stolen 2020 election, Jan 6 deep state, Dr Fauci, etc. All of its is just theater for the base, revving them up. In the end, will undermine faith in gov and institutions.

Pls call your Senators and tell them to oppose the GOP’s Save America Act: 202-224-3121. This is important bc MAGA is still trying to pressure Thune to force Ds into a talking filibuster in the hope that exhaustion or unforeseen circumstance will prevent Ds from succeeding. It’s all over X today.

Trump could give Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon on his last day in office exchange for favorable testimony now (SCOTUS has already said he can’t be prosecuted for it). She knows he’s her only chance for release. That means any “new” testimony she offers is inherently unreliable unless backed by evidence

How many of us said, "I'd rather vote for a [insert vegetable here] than Trump?" I did, and meant every word. It never mattered much to me who the Dem nominee was. Could someone other than Biden or Harris have won? Perhaps, but repeatedly trashing Biden now doesn't fix that.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.
