We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

Trump strikes deal with Putin to supply Russian diesel to U.S. and global markets

President Donald Trump has few options to reduce diesel prices given the destruction done to refineries by the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Somebody was asking me tonight: Why can't Dems ever get their act together? Me (approx): Yes, sure. But can you remember a stronger slate than Dems are putting up in big races right now? Cooper? Ossoff + Bottoms? Talarico + Hinojosa? Turek + Sand? Benson + El-Sayed? Brown + Acton? Hamilton? Etc

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 98.5%.

Check me, but I believe in those last two years of his second term the GOP also refused to confirm all but one of Obama’s appointees to the appellate courts, too. So not just SC. Then Trump came in and marveled at why Obama “left” him so many vacancies.
