Ukraine must understand that Donald Trump and his administration is their enemy. They should treat him as their enemy.

Also Forstag isn’t a 🦄, there are a lot more folks like him out there. I hope his win inspires others. Probably can’t replicate statewide (yet), but it’s worth starting to loosen that nut.

The only thing Ukraine has killed in Russia is a massive disinformation project to disrupt the midterms.
Tweet that a ukrainains strike on a Russian data center disrupted the Kremlin’s information operations. Ukrainian flag imposed with the words “glory to Ukraine”

He's digging for gold in the bedrock of the conservative movement: prideful domination. Pride is the root of all the Seven Deadly Sins. Greed & Gluttony are the other two the movement has embraced. Those and nationalism all serve personal pride. They have red, white, & blue chips on their shoulders.

Trump, September 2025: Europe must stop buying Russian oil that is funding the war against Ukraine! Trump, October 2026: We're going to buy 300k tons of Russian diesel even though we export ~200k tons a day of it. Why? Reasons. I want to thank President Putin! WTAF 🤯

Public execution is not permissible under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. But hell, we bombed an Iranian girls' school and we're conducting illegal boat strikes so a public execution would fit right in with Hegseth's illegal actions. The barbarism is the point. CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!

Every now and then I think about what could have been possible if Bodnar had run as a Dem (which his entire enterprise is founded on) in a cycle where incumbents and the GOP are on the outs and the GOP candidate is a Trump US attorney handpicked by the incumbent GOP senator.

The nasty right wing PAC running the anti trans ad is even on the air here in Washington state. They must be well funded and run by the most awful, corrupt people. Just nasty and untrue. If any PAC shows us what unbridled Citizen’s United means, it is one. Shut it down. Glad Brown clapped back.

This new Sherrod Brown ad debunks a anti trans ad while tying the Republican senate candidate to Jeffrey Epstein. THIS is how you fight back against anti trans ads.
