@realDonaldTrump Congress needs to claw back its power over declaring war. This rogue executive branch is irresponsible, dangerous, & a liability to America. War should not start because of the unreasonable whim of a tyrant—Trump is acting like Putin, not a constitutional United States president.
Tonight, the country watched an old man ramble about an election he lost.
Democracy IS under threat. But the danger isn’t just from abroad. It’s from within.
Don’t give in to cynicism. Don’t stay silent. And above all, don’t stop voting.
That’s exactly what Trump and MAGA want.
You are the antidote to Trump’s madness.
Accountability is coming — and the American people will deliver it.
This action by the US government to subpoena reporters for reporting legitimate news on security concerns about Air Force 1 should alarm every American.
“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.
Sources told CNN that Trump has been fuming at the reports of security concerns surrounding the $400 million gift from Qatar, and was embarrassed and angry when it became public that that the plane was not equipped enough to be flown directly from the NATO https://t.co/l9gllkC9mO
All the signals are flashing red, the latest being @POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.
Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.
So he's setting up Plan B--do whatever you need to do to win. Anything.
Anyone who says "Well, he wouldn't do THAT" hasn't paid attention. He's already proven he will!
So the period AFTER the Midterms may be even more turbulent than the run up to them.
The courts are going to be very busy this fall.
BREAKING: Bahrain and Kuwait said that Iran targeted their nations with drone and missile fire overnight after new U.S. airstrikes hit Iran. https://t.co/pbidGf6wSr
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
BREAKING: The U.S. military says it has struck multiple targets in Iran as the ceasefire is strained by a second day of attacks. https://t.co/yyLjV6vjJE
I love that Ukraine now has free rein to hammer the shit out of strategic targets in Moscow as Putin's air defenses collapse.
Russia is losing this war. Crimea will fall soon.
Putin should avoid...windows.
Every Russian defense facility that serves the war against Ukraine is a just target for our long-range sanctions.
Last night, FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd. It is a major industrial complex where the enemy produces artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including components for missile launch systems used in attacks against our people. Confirmed strikes were followed by a fire on the plant's premises. I thank the warriors of our Defense Forces for their precision.
The reach of Ukraine's long-range sanctions continues to expand. And it is precisely our pressure, day after day, that lays the groundwork for a dignified peace in the end. I am grateful to every Ukrainian engineer and warrior who is making our long-range capabilities possible. Glory to Ukraine!
