The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

How scared are Missouri Republicans about their anti-abortion amendment not passing in November? They are running commercials that don’t even mention the amendment will ban abortion… because they know we already gave women the constitutional right to abortion. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 3.

I’ve often written that Trump actually holds his MAGA base in contempt, sees them as easily manipulated marks. It’s pretty clear Hakeem Jeffries feels the same way about Democratic voters. When he has a friendly meeting with Jared Kushner, he knows how the base will react. He doesn’t care.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

So the airline is still “on time” if it pushes off from the gate. Pilot has reported we will sit for 50 mins with no weather between the takeoff & destination airports. Allegedly they are holding the plane to “regulate the flow of traffic.” Thought that was what schedules were for.
