Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

Welp. Republicans distancing themselves from Trump, saying it’s time to end the war. Congress introduced War Powers resolutions to force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran. Ashley Hinson: NO Jon Husted: NO Tom Tiffany: NO They had a chance to end it, but they voted against it.

Susan Collins voted against convicting history's most documented liar in his first impeachment trial because she said he "learned his lesson". Then she voted with Trump 96% of the time. Troy Jackson in the Senate will vote with Mainers, not with billionaire manipulators!

Trump’s Net worth is $7 billion in 2026, 3 times higher than it was in 2024 He is robbing us blind and #TrumpsCorruptCongress doesn’t say a damn word about it. We need to elect as many Democrats as we can to do oversight on this administration. No more rubber stamp Republicans!!🗳️🗳️

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump's second term: "We've lost morality. We've lost decency. We've lost respect for the rule of law. We've normalized verbal abuse. We've normalized bullying. Morality and integrity have gone out the window. We're supposed to elect our best, not our worst."

Susan Collins wants voters to believe she’s independent of Trump. The “independent” brand isn’t going to sell to Mainers. Troy Jackson’s message: Look at her record She’s the chair of the Appropriations Committee & had the power to stop Trump’s agenda that hurt Maine, but repeatedly chose not to.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

Trump’s "Justice" Department sent election monitors into Wyoming polling places, where they tried to ask voters questions and inspect voting machines. Even the governor of Wyoming – one of the most Republican states – was alarmed. They're trying to take over our elections so they can steal them.
