You don’t need an indictment. You don’t need a trial.
You don’t need a conviction.
To know Trump is
UNFIT TO SERVE.
(That was abundantly clear on January 6th)
#TrumpIndictment
It’s been 3 months since Trump demanded unconditional surrender. Currently we can’t reliably get a boat through the Strait of Hormuz.
Humiliating display of weakness on the world stage.
"Ken Paxton is the embodiment of MAGA - and everything that's wrong with it."
From impeachment to corruption to adultery to pedophile protection to election denial, I deep-dive into Ken Paxton's record & why he is unfit to sit on a schoolboard let alone in the Senate.
Receipts:
If Republicans want to talk about fraud, let’s do it. Trump is responsible for:
✅Defrauding college students
✅Profiting off the presidency
✅Crypto scams
✅Corrupt foreign deals
✅Self-dealing government contracts
✅Shady real estate transactions
✅Pump & dump stock schemes
✅Pardons for political allies
Care to comment, @HouseGOP?
Watchdog group Public Citizen found that White House ballroom donors won more than $50 billion in government contracts after giving to the project. One of the authors of the report says, "the donations from these companies... are no gift, they're a grift."
Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russians destroyed the Kakhovka Dam — one of the worst ecological disasters of the century.
Hundreds of villages flooded, dozens of lives lost, ecosystems wiped out for generations.
Not an accident — state terror.
We remember.
After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever
This is our Churchill vs. Chamberlain moment. Stand with good or stand with evil.
Ukraine is a democracy invaded by a dictator who wants to erase its independence, culture and people.
Ronald Reagan would stand with Ukraine and vote yes tonight. He would choose Churchill.
Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.
That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/
Extraordinary Letter.
Points to Bill Pulte appointment as national security danger.
"The undersigned include twenty-eight former service secretaries and retired general and flag officers who
collectively served under every president from John F. Kennedy to Joseph R. Biden, Jr"
By supporting Ukraine, we deter aggression everywhere, combat authoritarianism and reaffirm that the United States does not abandon those who fight for freedom.
While some have been unwilling to stand up to Vladimir Putin, the Congress must.
Tonight, House Democrats did.
For almost a year, the Pentagon has withheld $400 million in congressionally approved security assistance to Ukraine, aid passed on a bipartisan basis for one clear purpose: defending a democratic ally under attack. Why is the Pentagon delaying authorized aid to Ukraine?
When Congress acts, that commitment should be honored. Ukraine deserves our assistance — not endless Pentagon delays.

The continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the real situation in the war or in diplomacy and fuels the Russian leadership’s illusion that they can continue the war. This week alone, the Russians have launched over 2,360 attack drones, more than 1,320 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 60 missiles of various types at our cities and communities.
Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war. More than 110 tankers from Moscow’s shadow fleet are currently at sea. On board are over 12 million tons of Russian oil, which, due to the easing of sanctions, can once again be sold without consequences. That is $10 billion – a resource that is directly converted into new strikes against Ukraine.
That is why it is important that Russian tankers are stopped, not allowed to deliver oil to ports. The aggressor’s oil exports must decrease, and Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continue to work toward that goal. I am grateful to every one of our warriors for their precision, and I thank all partners who are helping to increase pressure on Russia for this war.
BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.
Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, a $760 million bet that oil would go down.
These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.
The traders made huge gains.
Unusual.
