Sen. @brianschatz: If this deal is so good, why can't the public see it? Donald Trump hasn't made anything materially better. 13 service members dead. 3,000 Iranians killed, billions of dollars, maybe hundreds of billions of dollars in 3 months, and prices spiked everywhere. There is a reason they are not publishing this deal and it's because it makes plain that this is one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in many generations.
SEN. KELLY: Ukraine is not asking us to fight with them with U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. They’re asking for help with equipment.
We want Russia to lose. I want Russia to lose badly. I want Ukraine to win. Best way to achieve that is to give them assistance they need.
He sent 13 service members to their deaths over “not very valuable stuff”?
168 Iranian school girls.
Thousands of civilians killed.
Our bases badly damaged.
Stockpiles depleted.
$80 billion price tag.
$6 gas.
For “not very valuable stuff”?
Michelle Obama: “Let’s be very clear. Strong men don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.”
The same goes for leadership, you lead by example. Being an asshole to someone only makes them hate you.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! MS NOW confirms Trump's FBI Director Kash Patel used over $1M in taxpayer funds to illegally reward a secret "Payback Squad" of loyalist agents.
Rep. Raskin reveals they were paid to carry out unlawful orders and cover up Patel's misbehavior!
BREAKING: Bloomberg has secured a copy of Donald Trump’s peace plan that hands $300 billion to Iran. This arguably could be the biggest scandal of Trump’s entire second term.
🚨Meet Adam Duane Pettibone of Boise, Idaho — who goes by “ForMob Adam” on Facebook, where he posted AI images of Trump as a Revolutionary War hero, used Trump’s mugshot as a profile pic, and shared anti-LGBTQ+ memes.
On May 5th, the Wilder Police Department pulled Pettibone over in Greenleaf, Idaho. Officers conducted a lawful search of his vehicle and arrested him on felony and misdemeanor drug charges.
During that search, police also discovered materials depicting the s-xual abuse of children.
Following an investigation, Pettibone was charged with TWO felony counts of visual representation of s-xual abuse of children.
Pettibone does not appear to be a drag queen, transgender, a gay dad, or undocumented immigrant — making national coverage of the case by the right-wing media unlikely.
Instead: the usual suspect.
Every. Single. Day.
🚨 Tim Kaine Just Put Trump’s Nominee In A Brutal Box.
KAINE: “Was the 2020 election rigged?”
HAL DUNCAN: “President Trump won the 2024 election.”
KAINE asked again.
Duncan still wouldn’t answer.
Then came Kaine’s response:
“How about that? He was asked twice if the 2020 election was rigged, and he wouldn’t answer the question. You’re afraid of making an insecure president mad.”
Renée Good did not deserve to die.
She was a 37-year-old mother. She had a family. She had people who loved her.
Video of the shooting has sparked nationwide outrage, with many arguing that deadly force was unnecessary and that she was trying to leave the scene, not kill anyone.
After she was shot, a voice captured on video can be heard saying, "fucking bitch." Multiple news organizations have reported on that recording.
You can debate politics.
You can debate immigration.
You can debate ICE.
But look at her family and tell me this is the outcome America should accept.
Justice requires accountability.
A bombshell NYT article just dropped with shocking new information from inside the Oval Office over the past year.
According to the Times, in April of last year, Stephen Miller — a known proponent of Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation's "unitary executive theory" — proposed that the White House simply pretend Trump had "the power to suspend habeas corpus." However, a loyalist attorney shut him down.
After ICE gunned two American citizens down in cold blood in Minneapolis earlier this year, JD Vance also floated invoking the Insurrection Act, per the Times.
Even legal counsel Will Scharf, described by the paper as an "arch-conservative lawyer serving as the White House staff secretary," sought to quash the unconstitutional proposals, as detailed in several top-secret memos.
"But the documents reflected alarm among a small group of senior aides," the Times wrote.
"[White House insiders] felt that Mr. Miller’s eagerness to test the limits of executive power — and to accuse other branches of encroaching on it, echoing a president who bristled at any constraint — risked steering the administration, and the country, in a dangerous direction."
This administration is looking for any opportunity to unlawfully seize power as their coalition collapses and their support tanks in real time.
November is rapidly approaching, and they know it may be now or never — but that is not a given. Remember this when you vote.

So on one hand, Trump & his family (and businesses) can give themselves immunity from any tax investigations but on the other, they want to investigate
his 2028 rival @GavinNewsom & his family for tax issues...give me a break.
@NewsNation@connellmcshane
Trump’s administration has barred the IRS from even looking at his past returns.
Teachers, nurses, and firefighters all pay what they owe.
Why does the President of the United States get a special tax deal?
#BREAKING: Hayes: What is the intention of this USPS proposal?
Secretary Griswold: “The intention, I believe, is to SUPPRESS THE VOTE. It’s to allow Trump to try to federalize elections, to put his thumb on who gets a ballot and who doesn’t get a ballot…Trump has been going after voter data on American voters since the beginning of his first term. The DOJ…last year started to request this data…I told them to take a hike, suddenly they are suing us. Then Trump tried to push Congress to pass a voter suppression bill to collect all this data. That went nowhere. Then he issues his second unconstitutional executive order on elections, specifically on mail ballots. It directs DHS to pull together a list of who’s eligible and who’s not…and then states would have to send USPS our list of approved voters. And on top of that, the DOJ is in the background directed through Trumps executive order to investigate any election official who takes part in supposedly sending a ballot to someone not on Trump’s voter list. The whole thing is unconstitutional. It’s one more way that Trump is trying to put his finger on this elections. We are going to fight back. Colorado and many states are fighting back already and I look forward for the executive order and this bogus rule-making to be stopped.” 😳
The fact the Obamas are still being disrespected clearly indicates where we are in this country. However, I’m choosing to ignore the worst and just celebrate Michelle Obama!
