A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

Q: You described the Iranians you're dealing with as 'crazy.' How do you get a deal done with the counterparts are crazy and irrational? TRUMP: Maybe you blow them up. Maybe you blow them up. We have to make that decision. We blow them up. The time is coming.

Eric Schmitt is a complete idiot… and a doofus too, for doubling down on his initial error of confusing the NBA Atlanta Hawks with the NCAA Women’s Iowa Hawkeyes basketball program. He could have said, “Oops, my, my bad.” Instead he loses all credibility for his obvious sloppiness. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Jack Smith: I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including my decision to bring charges against President Trump. The charges against Trump were the result of the evidence. Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results

I texted my daughter in Chicago… but when she got back to me, she said they were in upstate NY, “hiking and exploring”. I reminded her to stay safe, since they like climbing rocks… the 1st photo being high in the Rockies some mos. ago, and the 2nd where she is now. She said it only “looks” sketchy.😬

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Far-right ideologues have transformed American foreign policy into a tool of private gain and antidemocratic reaction.

Bulgaria is a member of NATO, and by all appearances, Russia is at the center of these targeted attacks. Meanwhile Trump sent the milquetoast Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as special envoys to kowtow to Putin at the Kremlin. Trump is not only failing NATO, he is failing America.

It's disgraceful enough of Donald Trump to skip the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, but to go golfing in Ireland instead—just to promote one of his properties—shows Trump's contempt not just for this solemn anniversary, but also for decency itself.

JD Vance has demonstrated his ignorance of national security, ineptitude, and lack of moral judgement in his duplicity. His milquetoast advice on the Iran war (it’s NOT a “military conflict”) has yielded zero influence, certainly much less than Netanyahu. Our national security isn’t in good hands.
