With Trump’s latest betrayal of Ukraine, MAGA Republicans who continue to defend Trump when he licks Putin’s balls can all go fuck themselves. Trump is a feckless, pathetic traitor — and he has the blood of innocent Ukrainian children on his hands.

🚨 LEAKED AUDIO: Ken Paxton admits Trump’s policies are dragging down his campaign. “It’s the war. It’s gas prices. It’s diesel. It’s over $6 a gallon… the rise of food prices and everything else.” Even Ken Paxton knows who’s responsible for the pain Texans are feeling.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Third presidential terms are illegal under the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Maga Republicans say Trump can run a third term despite the US Constitution.
