A $250,000 donation to a pro-Ken Paxton super PAC came from a businessman whose dad got pardoned by Trump — and who used a fake name and rented mailbox on the donation record.

It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms. With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether. Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB

Trump never had a strategy for his war on Iran. He went from "4 weeks" to "the war is won" to "after the midterms." Working families are drowning under the economic strain while he escalates—sending 10,000 more Americans into harm's way.
