Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

This is what a TRAITOR to his country does. Putin relayed Iran war proposal to Trump, Kremlin says. The report comes a day after Trump said Russia will supply diesel to the global market amid a surge in energy prices caused by the wars in Iran and Ukraine. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/10/p...

Republicans gave corporations a huge tax cut. The deficit exploded again. Now they want to blow another massive hole by borrowing billions more for weapons to feed the endless series of Republican wars. The national credit card is maxed out while Republicans enrich themselves.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.
