25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

This is what my home state of Ohio has become and why I can never go back there. Perhaps the most xenophobic, bigoted state in the U.S.

MAGA is OBSESSED with presidents who are crooks. They elected Trump twice and now they're spending tax dollars to rewrite RICHARD NIXON'S legacy. They're revisiting Watergate because it's the only time that a president's party has told him to stand down. And that's something they're incapable of.

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors

incredible spin from Hassett on mortgage rates being well above 7%: "When the economy is growing really high, then longer-term interest rates can sometimes go up not because of inflation, but because like all these businesses have a high demand for capital because they're building factories."

Every time Trump is asked about people struggling to pay rent, buy a home, afford groceries, health care and gas and he responds claiming this is the greatest economy ever and people on Wall Street are making tons of money speculating on AI, Republicans go down another point in the polls.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
