I’ve spoken directly with the FBI and military leadership: there is no increased threat to San Diego. You are safe. But what Donald Trump said last night was dangerous. This illegal war needs to end.

Some of the richest people in the country are helping to pay for Susan Collins' Senate race in Maine. If their interests align with yours, she's a good choice. I just donated to the campaign of Troy Jackson, her Democratic opponent.

Abdul El-Sayed just said the quiet part out loud about how to take on Donald Trump: Build an uncomfortably large coalition to defeat him. The coalition is the Republicans, independents, and Democrats who agree the country shouldn’t be run by a man who tried to overturn an election. (link below)

How does Russia take out 20% of the United States’ most senior military leadership without firing a shot? By turning to the same man who is responsible for the destruction dozens of bases in the Middle East, the depletion of our arsenal, and hiding it all from the American people, Petrov Hegseth.
